If you see a breakfast menu where the omelets are made of seagulls' eggs, beware. As the blog Umami Mart points out, seagulls' eggs are not really eggs at all, but a Japanese snack called "kamome no tamago." It's cake filled with bean paste and surrounded by white chocolate. Similar to a real egg, there are textural contrasts (between the coating, cake, and bean), and they're high in protein (thanks to the bean). But they probably don't taste as good with hash browns....

First, there were bacon bowls. Now Kristen of Dine and Dish brings us bacon and egg cups. Unlike other versions I've seen floating around, Kristen uses the inside of a muffin tin and bakes the bacon and egg together all at once. No bacon-weaving skills needed. Simple, efficient, and a nifty way to present breakfast to a crowd....

"No, thank you. I got a thing about chickens." For breakfast this morning I boiled a couple eggs. And, don't you know it, every time I peel a hard-boiled egg, I think of this scene from Angel Heart. I'm usually a little faster than Robert DeNiro and can often manage to remove the shell in one piece, but his technique is solid—crack it all over; roll it around on the plate, applying moderate pressure to further crack the shell; then peel. The egg scene, after the jump. (NSFW due to mild language.)...

Photograph from Carol Mitchell on Flickr "The sky is falling!" That's what Chicken Little said and then panicked after an acorn dropped on his head. Even though he comes from a fable, it appears chickens might be terrified of things in the sky. In London, the Telegraph reported claims from a farmer that the presence of hot air balloons were causing her chickens to go into hysteria. But, in their attempt to hide, the birds bump into enough other frightened poultry, or walls, causing their unlaid eggs to explode inside their bodies, killing them. This bit of news is surprising and sad. But fortunately, the ballooning company has agreed to steer clear of the hen's fields now....

So when blogger Brilynn of Jumbo Empanadas asks, "What's your favourite hors d'oeuvres or appetizer," we responded by Blogwatching her picturesque Shrimp-Topped Deviled Eggs. Retro-chic at its best and most delicious. Besides deviled eggs, any other appetizers worth selling your soul for?...

Egg-laying hens and veal-bound calves everywhere rejoice! With California's Proposition 2 passing yesterday, the farm animals will get ample wiggle room in those cages by 2015....

Photograph from roboppy on Flickr Caged chickens are right up there with gay marriage and Barack Obama on California's ballot this year. If passed tomorrow, the hot button Proposition 2, or the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act, will prohibit the "cruel confinement" of California's pigs, cows, and chickens. Farmers would have until January 1, 2015, to increase space within crates and cages or go entirely cage-free. While many farmers and vets are behind the happy vision of animals being able to stretch their legs, the opposition argues that it could put local egg farmers out of business. If cage real estate gets too expensive, eggs will have to be imported from Mexico (where cage roominess standards don't exist)....

Amy of We Are Never Full opines that she is not the biggest fan of Bon Appetit, but the magazine's version of this tart caught her eye—and her version caught ours. Amy's tart combines both puff pastry and pie crust, ricotta and petite Jurassic cheeses, as well as salami and a garden of vegetables for this "lighter than quiche" pastry: Using various different veggies and ricotta over all eggs helped me convince myself that I was eating healthy. Even after a few helpings, I knew I was kidding myself. Indulgence is encouraged with beach season behind us. And anyway, this is lighter than quiche. Serving it "à cheval" with a runny egg on top makes it ideal for a...

From great movies like
The Hustler,
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and
The Sting, to his line of foods that benefits charity,
Paul Newman's work will be missed by many. And who can ever forget the egg-eating scene in
Cool Hand Luke? Nobody can eat 50 eggs—or can they?
