    I’m so glad egg substitute is available, sometimes I really want huevos rancheros or potato shipwreck and I don’t know any birds personally to get eggs from. I miss egg whites, though. Substitutes are basically all yolk-ish

    As for flesh, at most I’ll eat bugs. Bumblebees taste like bacon!

      What is potato shipwreck? I searched and found a bunch of shipwreck stuff but none of it called for eggs.

      I’ve eaten bugs before, as a novelty (in candies)… I realize that ounce for ounce they require the lowest food to body mass, and they can be raised to be perfectly fine and clean and all, but idk if I could have them as a significant portion of my diet.

        Oh it’s something I learned to make while camping - it might have a different name?

        It’s sliced/diced/shredded potato fried to a crisp with onions, peppers, peas, corn, carrots, and then once all of that is thoroughly cooked you add egg and scramble it all together. Basically it’s a huge mess of carbs, protein, fats, and vegetables - hence, a shipwreck.

        Bugs will be for when we’re all living in shipping containers in the tropical Antarctic archipelago 🙃
