Chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken...

...may well lay a little egg for me, as well as a medium one and a large one.

Now, bung your eggies in a pan and boil them up - remove the shell and slice 'em up. What are you left with?

You have a small white slice... each subsequent slice will become large and have increasing amounts of yellow in it as you move through the egg, eventually once you've passed the yolk, you're down to diminishing white circles again.

So far, so good.

So, can someone please explain the 'pork and egg' loaf - each slice of pork has the same sized central core of albumen and yolk - no variation in size nor color.

How can this be? Is there some genetically engineered chicken that can lay Tubular Eggs, like some form of the sugary sweet of seafront rock with a central core of yolk rather than 'Great Y'ha-Nthleu' written down the inside?

And why aren't these Tubular Eggs for sale to the general public? Instead of all that packaging designed to carefully store ovoids, they just just flog them in oversized Smarties packets!

I wonder if PMT is another word for bird flu. Maybe it's not Evian Flu that birds get, it's Ovarian Flu...

Or in my case, birds fly in the opposite direction...
