  • Ep. 56: Eggs

    This week, we talk about one of our favorite foods and ingredients: eggs! The incredible edible egg! What came first, the chicken or the egg? The chicken, of course, so we chat about how the chicken was domesticated and how chickens lay eggs. Then we get into the components of the egg, the whites and yolk, and our favorite way of making scrambled eggs. Plus, this week's Food Fight listener needs help navigating the office potluck when food allergies and preferences are on the line.

    On this week's episode, we delve into the wide world of meal replacements, from old-school SlimFast shakes to Soylent, a modern meal replacement. It's fascinating!
