Raw Eggs

I'm quite regularly overcome by the sheer wrongness of some things in this strange, strange world. And so it came to pass that this all-new-and-improved category of posts was spawned.


Kicking off are raw eggs.

I really hate raw eggs. Like, REALLY.

I am terrified of eggnog, and suspicious of moist cakes.

They are SO wrong, I don't even know how to say it. But a few words come to mind:

• Slime
• Dodgy smell
• Blood spots
• Possible baby chickens

Admit it. You're going to think twice the next time someone offers you an overeasy toad-in-the-hole*.
