Japanese netizens share their unique experience of eating pet lizard eggs: how does it taste?
Many people may dream of raising a hen to enjoy fresh eggs, but have you ever thought about raising a hunting lizard and eating its eggs? Recently, a Japanese netizen shared his experience of raising a female hunting lizard and laying eggs, and decided to cook and eat these eggs.
This sharing has sparked a heated discussion among netizens, who are curious about the taste and cooking methods of hunting lizard eggs.
The female hunting lizard laid a nest of eggs
This netizen discovered that her pet female hunting lizard had laid a nest of eggs and realized that these eggs were all azoosperms. Therefore, she decided not to waste them and tried cooking them before eating.
He shared the entire process of the “Hunting Lizard Egg Cooking” experience on the X platform and provided answers to netizens’ questions one by one.
The taste and texture of hunting lizard eggs
When netizens asked about the taste of hunting lizard eggs, he described it as:
tasteThe taste of hunting lizard eggs is quite subtle, very light, with almost no obvious egg aroma. Whether paired with mayonnaise and pepper, or olive oil and pepper, there is not much difference in taste.
textureThe taste of hunting lizard eggs is similar to an eraser, and they are very elastic when bitten. After biting a few more times, the texture of the egg will break down in the mouth. Although it cannot be said to be unpleasant, the taste is indeed a bit uncomfortable.
smellHunting lizard eggs smell quite ordinary, not much different from eggs, despite their unique shape.
EggshellBefore cooking, the shell of a hunting lizard egg is soft, but becomes hard after cooking. It feels more like a membrane than an eggshell.
Guilt and Eating Experience
Regarding whether he feels guilty, this netizen explained that he eats azoosperm eggs and confirms that these eggs will not hatch into small hunting lizards.
After consulting the data, he learned that female lizards, like hens, lay eggs even without mating, so he did not feel guilty. On the contrary, he felt that throwing away these eggs was a waste, so he decided to eat them.
User interaction and cooking methods
This netizen is soliciting better cooking methods from netizens after cooking the lizard eggs, as he still has many lizard eggs on hand that have not been cooked. His sharing not only sparked discussions among netizens, but also sparked a strong interest in the consumption of hunting lizard eggs.
Although the taste and flavor of hunting lizard eggs did not meet the standards of deliciousness, this Japanese netizen’s bold attempt undoubtedly aroused people’s curiosity. For those who are curious and willing to try new things, hunting lizard eggs may be a “alternative food” experience worth trying. However, for most people, this experience is more of an interesting sharing and may not necessarily become a part of their daily diet.
