some type of adult girl

iguanamouth:

at least once a year i end up tal k ing about eating lizard eggs and Now Is the Time

first up you could probably honestly eat most types of eggs as long as you arent squeamish about it  BU T.… i sort of had. inspiration - someone two years ago asked me what i was going to DO with the eggs around this same time, when wasabi was clutching again, like “what are you doing with the eggs are you going to eat them?”

and it had never even crossed my mind like ??? EAT the eggs ??? why the hell not ??? what else am i going with 50 lizard eggs thatll never hatch

and so i . started looking up recipes, or at least How To Prepare iguana eggs - there arent a TON of results, but apparently you can actually order them as appetizers in certain south american restaurants - a lot of other cultures where green iguanas originate from have meals centered around the rest of the iguana too (actually. the first green iguana pet care book i ever saw was written in the 1940s, and the very first page was a recipe for female iguana)

since the eggs, like a lot of reptile eggs, are softshelled, you cant exactly crack them open and scramble the yolks - instead youve got to boil the eggs, and even afterwards they stay pretty soft ! the shell clings to the yolk like rubber, and you can either peel it off or scrape it off with your teeth

 iguana eggs are EXTREMELY rich, and the eggs contain almost No Whites, so just a few of them can really uhhh. satisfy your craving for . lizard eggs. jesus. i threw them all in a bowl and put tomato sauce on them and they were DELICIOUS. id eat em again. and i probably will, if wasabi keeps being a Thing that i take care of for the next fifteen years. maybe she considers the eggs as overdue rent. i accept.
