/ck/ - Food & Cooking

yes senpai

has never happened to me >:(

>>7445783
just think of the twins you just murdered!

When I was buying dozens of eggs at a time for like five bucks from a local farmer I used to get double yolks nearly every other egg
>tfw moved away from that area

Cells have decided... YOU MURDERER! HOW DARE YOU!

>>7445783
Fuck Monsanto, eat organic eggs OP.

>>7445846

You must not buy jumbo eggs

>>7445852
Found the vegan

In my life, I have had 3 eggs do this. The second time it happened, it was two eggs I cracked for some ramen and both were double yolks. I nearly shit my pants when that happened.

>23 years on Earth
>10 years cooking with mom
>5 years cooking on my own
>Never seen a double-yolked egg

Are these real or am I being meme'd by everyone?

>>7445852
Double yolk would just mean the baby has twice the food, not that there were two.

>>7446505
wew lad

I once had 4 or 5 double yolks in a single carton.

Two were back to back, the other two just days apart. I was fucking floored.

>>7446663
They're real, but realistically uncommon. You're still young so you'll most likely see one at some point if you use eggs regularly.

It means the hen just started laying again. Multiple double yolks together means that the farm you got your eggs from just did a cycle.

>somebody found 9 yolks in one egg

>>7446684
And I was wrong about that first thing, there actually are two chicks in a double yolk, but they usually get too cramped and die before hatching. And besides, sold eggs are unfertilized.

>>7445783
Pretty sure that's just egg cancer

>>7446687

Certain chickens tend to lay them more. I had, like an average of three a week when I was buying from one local farm. Then he culled his chickens and it stopped happening.

in all my life, i only had 6 of those. ALL came from the same tray! tasted the same iirc

Man I get hype as hell when I get a double yolkie, like I won the fucking lottery

So do you get double the calories and nutrients in a twin-yolk egg?

>>7445783
Yep, it means you ate eggs from young hens rather than old birds.

>>7447088
but not double the protons :(

>>7445783
no... it indicates a glitch in the matrix

>>7445783
Didn't knew that could happen

I had a whole pack of 6 double yolkers once. I think maybe it was a special 'double yolk' pack. I could tell just from picking the first one up that it was a doubler. they feel different.

>>7446508
you mean Wumbo

>>7445783
Happened to me twice in my life. The second time was 2 days ago

Once I had a 12 pack of eggs where about half of them were double yolkers.

>>7445783
My bodega used to sell flats of double yolked eggs. I assume they were from hens fed some kind of special feed ( hormone laden ) , but i have no idea.

>>7445783
2 yolks just means the chicken had the equivalent of a heavy period

Am I cool too you guys?

>>7446566
found the faggot with no sense of humor

>>7447889

Burnt eggs aren't cool.

>>7445783
When I used to buy Jumbo, I saw this pretty often, like 2-3 times per cartoon.

It's definitely uncommon, but not super rare or lucky by any means.

>>7446684

are you fat-shaming chickens?

I can't even

It means I spent the extra 5 cent per egg to buy double yolk eggs. I wonder how they know which are double yolked, considering I buy them from my neighbors farm and I doubt he has an x-ray or whatever for egg scanning

I think finding a gecko in a chicken egg would be luckier.

>>7448328
>x-ray for egg scanning

oh lord

all you need is a lightbulb you retard

>farmer's market separates all the double-yolk eggs into a dedicated pallet

>>7447163

True, but you get a LITTLE more. At least 1/3 of egg protons are in the yolk, yeah?

Or maybe the twins have extra whites for... cushioning or whatever?

>>7448537
Not everyone is so cripplingly poor that they can't afford an x-ray to scan their eggs for double yolks or imperfections

>>7448509
what in the actual heck

>>7449350
is that supposed to be donkey kong or the amazing athiest? either way he's too skinny

>>7449689
>not knowing this classic gem

you're either really old or really young. i'm going for really old.

i don't even understand what people think something being 'lucky' means. does it mean you are currently in a 'lucky' state, and so will experience more desirable outcomes in chance-based scenarios? if this is true, why is it usually a rare occurrence that signals this state? desirable outcomes are not always or even usually rare.

does the rare occurrence *cause* you to be in this lucky state? for how long does this state persist? what types of chance does it affect? does it further depress the already low likelihood that a plane will land on your head, or does it only apply to voluntary and discrete engagements in chance-based activities or decisions?

what even is luck?

no, luck isn't a real thing

Are you buy chance retarded?

>>7449716
I don't even understand what people think being "autistic" means. does it mean you are currently in an "autistic" state, and so will experience more subsequent ill-favored social interactions?

Does the rare occurrence *cause* you to be in this state of mind? for how long does this state persist? does it further depress your ability to pick up social queues?

>>7449847
they left out some details

>>7450258
It's cue. Like a hint, not a line to wait in. Nice try though.

>>7445783
if you eat a double yolk when you're pregnant you'll have twins

>>7445783
this one time i bought a carton of eggs from a grocery outlet because poorfag and i got a double yolk 4 times

So they say but imho it just means more cholesterol into my breakfast.

Bulking anyway but, you know, clean bulking.

>>7450347
i got 5 out of 6 eggs as double yolkers once. never got one before or since. sort of felt like i wasted all the good luck i'll ever have on it tbph. some people win the lottery, i got a surprisingly nice breakfast.

The real question we should all be asking is: do you need to adjust a recipe if you get two yolks?

>>7445783
It happened once when I was young. I was making instant noodles and I cracked it into my boiling water. I tossed that whole shit out because I thought the egg was fucked up and cancerous due to birth defects or some shit.

Pic somewhat related, "Ramen" at school cafeteria (UCSD).

>>7450234
To be fair, I only started cooking when I started living alone at the age of 21.

>he only started cooking at 8
how fucking stupid are you

>>7445783
No it's murder

>>7453312
Very stupid, apparently. Please explain yourself in clear terms.

A few of the Asian supermarkets I go to have cartons of double yolks for sell. Probably some fucked up hybrid line of chickens that will die early from constant prolapse, but fuck it, extra pleasureable cholesterol to be had with my sunny side up eggs.

Thank you for making my night

>keep my own chickens
>they eat mainly wild bugs, left overs and worms from my compost
>red isers and bantams, also some mixed ducks
>occasionally get two yolks from new layers, usually it's a giant ass egg
>sometimes get an egg with no shell
>once got an egg with no yolk (mfw)
>often when there are a lot of bugs, the egg whites get so thick you can't whisk them or break them up without an electric beater. Also the shells become super super hard.
>once I got an elliptical egg

>>7453972
Stop feeding your chickens radioactive waste.

>>7453984
I don't know what they eat, shit it isn't like I follow them around all day

also we grind up their egg shells and feed them back to them
important to make sure it's powder or the stupid birds can start pecking their own eggs

but seriously, our eggs are nothing like supermarket eggs
you can break 12 supermarket eggs using one of ours like a hammer
when you poach them, the white is so strong none of it goes watery
the effect on baking cakes is pronounced (sometimes undesirable)

I don't like duck eggs much, but the chinese families near us think they are dope so we sell a lot I suppose

also sometimes you get ducks trying to mate with chickens
I don't really know what to do if I catch them at it, usually I just chase them around in anger

It's lucky if you're making custard.

>>7453994
Eggs from privately owned farms generally always taste better than eggs from a mass produced factory farm.
The chickens are less stressed out and aren't pumped full of hormones that make them constantly shit out eggs, so the ones they make have time to develop properly, and you get thicker shells and heartier yolks and whites. Quality over quantity.

>>7445783
I'm 19 and don't even cook reguarly but I've had the chance to see a 'doubler' or green flash as we call them

they sya its 1 in a million but I think its more like one in 30000000

Anyone else ever get a bad egg?

I assume it was the fowl equivalent of a miscarriage that somehow got through screening, but I had an egg filled with putrified blood/flesh once.

It was really unpleasant.

Get on my level, friends of colour.

>>7455250
Getting bad eggs should never be taken as a joke, but its really something that came from a birds ass, why would someone expect nature to be perfect if it shits like five of these per day

>>7455266
is that a fucking snake?
