for the uninitiated, this is an actual culinary technique
WTF? “Long pork pie!?”
It is not an egg anymore. It is a whole eeeegg.
Ok, looks logical. No way a standard hen could lay a long egg.
Long egg is a good example of processed food. It only contains one ingredient (egg), but it’s far superior to a regular egg for the intended purpose (sandwiches).
theoretically you could even make them square and have them line up nicely on Pullman bread
I worked in my college dining hall kitchen back in the late '70s (yeah, I’m old). I remember when the supplier brought this product for us to use. It came with a special rack to ensure each slice was the same thickness (portion control is big in institutional foodservice). The stated advantage was that it always gave you the same yolk to white ratio no matter what.
We were also first in on Sizzlean, which was engineered bacon that ensured every slice had the same fat to lean ratio.
Looks like something from Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart.
This post would be better & accessible with alt text.
Oh, to return to the halcyon days of long egg memes.
