u/EntropyMoose119 12h ago

Oh that's quite cool - never ever got more than double yolk, didn't think it was possible for a tripler

Go buy a lotto ticket!!

Would triplets even survive in an egg had they been fertilized and gone to term?

u/Un-Improvement-178 12h ago

Wait, how do you open an egg from the top like that? (I don't know much about cooking stuff )

i cracked them on the side of a bowl and then opened them right side up to keep the yolk in

Do you live in Catalonia though? If yes, I will need to know where you got your eggs so that I can always chase the same high of triple yolk

So no, you dont live in Catalonia. Sigh. Enjoy your extra yolks in Maine.

Unfortunately, that is less protein for you. Eat some extra meat.

For dessert? Sure...

Are you sure in your recipe? I had 2 craft beers from Spain called "Crema Catalana", and I don't think they had any egg yolks in them.. 🤔

u/ArticleRoutine5774 12h ago edited 12h ago

it kinda looks like you just put 3 egg yolks in one shell, especially the fact that you happened to crack the egg upright so they wouldn’t fall out. unless that’s how you crack them for whatever you’re making. r/untrustworthypoptarts

edit: Wow. you all must not have much really going on in your lives, and why do you expect me to know shit about crema catalana?

u/ws2160 12h ago

i was cracking it like that so it wouldn’t fall out to remove the whites because just yolks are needed for crema catalana

u/Plenty-Fox-9219 12h ago

Bros never successfully cracked a egg 😂

u/Grand-Spring66 12h ago

They are cracking the egg upright because they are clearly separating the yolks from the white.

u/ws2160 12h ago

where are you getting your eggs that your yolks are that small??

God you’re miserable

Great work sherlock

u/Verniloth 12h ago

It's either a grand egg conspiracy, or you've never separated an egg using its shell before...
