The biggest turning point to egg is about the blog problem as I mentioned. But why Egg and not other ?
I released the food I eat everything. Among all the food, I used to eat egg. So I start have this random point. Start to do research practice and everything.
I tried to interview the Researcher, PHD A.Szeto for is there any interesting point of egg? and he ask me to do research about Egg anthropology, and why is egg popularity?
After that, he sent me some article to study, included follow.
After I had read all the information it gave me, I decided for sure that I wanted to do more about the egg than the stomach. Curiosity got the better of me and I wondered why egg-based food was so popular in various countries, such as the sweetened eggs in Japan, donburi, the Spanish omelette in Spain, the red eggs eaten on Chinese New Year's Day, and countless other egg dishes from various countries. Apart from being delicious, they are also full of cultural backgrounds and characteristics. I am reminded of the term cultural appropriation.
Among all these food items, I was most curious about the "Parent-Child Don" because its name "Parent-Child Don" literally means mother and son in Cantonese.
It is a bowl of rice covered with chicken, eggs and onions, and is served in a bowl, and is named after the fact that it contains both chicken and eggs. The name 'kinja' comes from the fact that the donburi contains both chicken and eggs. The donburi began in a restaurant called 'Tamahidei', which originally sold 'marchi nabe', a dish in which chicken was cooked and served with an egg sauce. At the time, eggs were very expensive in Japan and customers thought it would be a waste to throw them away because they couldn't finish the nabe, so they mixed the leftovers with white rice.
Donburi with fish and fish eggs is also known as "seafood donburi", such as "salmon donburi".
In Japanese erotic culture, having sex with one's son is also known as kinky-don.
