chicken egg nasturtium

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

A timeless question that simultaneously provokes and bores the masses.

The question is futile as there is no definitive answer.

A better question is…
Which came first, the egg or the shell?
Here, the answer is clear-cut. The egg comes first, then grows the shell around itself.

The opposite is true with this chicken skin and egg yolk ravioli. The powdered chicken skin croquant is formed into two discs, baked and then sandwiched with the raw egg yolk. A brief reheating in the oven softens the top disc, allowing it to form around the yolk.
In this case, the chicken, and the shell, came before the egg.

  1. Ahh, fall. The changing of the leaves, the cool air, and thoughts of chicken skin.
    Why are we all obsessed with chicken skin lately?
    When in culinary school, I had an older woman (student) in my class who all but condemned me to hell for eating the skin on my fried chicken, calling it the worst possible thing I could ever put in my body.
    Wow! What an evil thing to eat… I love it. Forbidden fruit is skin. I love duck skin, pork skin, fish skin, but chicken skin holds a special place in my heart… and will probably clog it up with cholesterol while it’s there. Love hurts.
