Questions of EGG names and types etc.

~Remember~
before submitting a dish please read our club rules and TOS on the main page After reading a recent recipe one of our faccc cooking furs called the yolk of the egg, "The red of the egg" which I later found out is an Itallian term for the yolk.
1) So this now makes me curious. So my first question is "What do you call the various parts of an egg? Do you have a local nick-name for the yolk (the yellow) or albumin (egg white)?"
I am also curious as to what types of eggs people use around the world and have had the oppurtunity to use in cooking and consume.
I have had like many of us the humble chicken egg of various sizes. I've used and eaten duck eggs, goose eggs and quail eggs but I have also had the rare chance of consuming emu eggs. For some reason duck and goose eggs are great for making sponges resulting in a very smooth and fluffy sponge.
2) This leads me to my next question: "What eggs have you had the chance to use or eat?"
I've seen egg shell crushed to a fine powder and glued to thick card then an artist took a piece of silver wire and drew an image on the coated card. I've also seen carved and preserved shells of various kinds. I'm sure there are many more things that the shell has been used for.
Using eggs in cooking is the most obvious use but I've heard of them being used in creating makeup and as part of paint.
3) The third question on eggs is "What other uses do you use or know of for the egg?"

I would also like the thank you all for the birthday wishes, it put an extra smile on my face that's for sure. I had a great day and was spoiled rotten by mate Mrduhast and my daughter Sensia101.

2) Only ever - to my knowledge - consumed regular white eggs.
3) Nothing other than what you mentioned - eggshell carving is a delicate process, but looks beautiful.
2. Unfortunately I've only had chicken eggs (unless you want to count fish XD) but given some space and money I would totally raise various poultry.
3. I have some ostrich eggs I bought ages ago but have been too afraid to do anything with. Other than that just the usual Easter nonsense and Christmas ornaments inspired by this.
2 I have also had a variety of fish eggs. though due to small size it takes a LOT of them for a wedding cake. though they are delicious over easy they are too small for dipping toast in the yolk.
I have also had the thousand year old eggs (which is such a lie. they are only a few hundred years at most... they just like to eggsagerate :) and quail eggs. which honestly i cannot remember what they tasted like anymore. Also we have right now in my fridge brown and blue chicken eggs which brings me to
3 I "blow" them and make painted eggs sometimes. we have also cut them into boat shapes for little races and of course you can cut them and use them as dishes to serve in as well.
in non art related things i give them to my pet snails for calcium and sometimes crushed finely to my birds for both grit and calcium. they can also be used as mulch around plants if washed
Not so sure if I would like them though as I can be a bit sensitive around things that give of an ammonia type smell. *hugs*
2, Chicken eggs ..Though I've had the chance of buying Ostrich eggs.. but they where to expensive. x3
3, If you blow out the yolk and stuff.. you can use the unbroken shell to use for easter decoration.. Ninja weapons.. And if you take the Egg yellow + Lots of sugar and mix it till it becomes White.. You get something tasty I ate almost everyday as a kid. x3
I have made them more than a dozen times but haven't done so in years.
2. I've had quail and ostrich
3. I dry and crumble my shells to give my bird, for extra calcium.
2. I have had chicken eggs of all shell colors (white, brown, blue, etc.) Plus a turkey egg which tasted pretty much the same as the chicken eggs (and if you count them, those little tiny fish eggs used in sushi, but that's pretty much a separate topic.)
For cooked eggs, I relly enjoy experimenting with ingredients to make varieties of "deviled eggs"
3. I have painted blown eggs .. actually
