and i'm not even talking about SOAWJO.

i have this thing with eggs, there's some white bits in them that are just so incredibly gross. disgusting.

see for example: http://www.learnhits.com/public/Images/Raw-Eggs.jpg

my main problem with those things is that they look like tiny little umbilical cords. i obviously realise that this isn't actually the case, but i just find them so disgusting now that it doesn't really matter.

i started removing them pre-cooking a few years ago whenever i'd make scrambled eggs or an omelette (which is quite frequent). then i'd do the same if i was baking as well. now it's gone even further: when i boil an egg, i take a sharp little knife and cut the grossness out post-cooking. when i was frying an egg the other day i picked it out while the egg was in the pan.

so that's my main food neurosis: tiny little umbilical cord-looking things in eggs.

what weird ideas about food do YOU have!?
