This is more related to your post than maybe you meant, but I have always wondered who was the first person who saw an egg and was like "Hmm. That hard thing? Yeah, I'm going to break it open, and then I'm going to eat that."

I'm pretty sure that humans probably weren't the first animal to eat eggs, though, so I guess we probably picked it up from other animals or early ancestors. But, in line with that, I also want to know who decided to take an egg and cook it in water with its shell on. I mean, you have already discovered eggs are already good to eat raw (although the thought grosses me out). So you are going to proceed to mess with them even more?

And don't even get me started on the question of "Who decided to put eggs in baked goods?" because that really puzzles me. Why? Who figured out that eggs would make a baking product more rich? In fact, most of the things we know about baking puzzle me - or, how we figured them out and who decided to try it first. Generally I think about eggs most because raw eggs kind of disgust me and I'd never want to eat a raw egg, so I'm always like "Geez. Some human ate this and was like "YUM!" " when cooking, but even - who decided milk should go in cakes? How did they decide that? What about baking powder and soda?
