I don't Rowan means "fuzzy" in a chicken-fur way. Fuzzy as in opaque. Right, Rowan?
Then after fruit flies, magots!

You're right Annie - its not fuzzy really it just this gross blobby thing.
The fruit fly thing really isn't much but I remember a non-science person being truly grossed out when I pointed it out to her.
Say you have some fruit on a table for a while.
Fruit flies appear.
Where do they come from?
They don't spontaneously generate so they must come from eggs on your fruit.
That's why you should always wash your fruit really well.....

If you nibble the white of a hard boiled egg in tiny pieces, you come across what I like to think of as the chicken umbilicus. It is even more rubbery and resistent than the rest of the white.
I hated eggs for years. But they taste different in Chile. Much better. I still only like the yolk, really. I think the whites taste metallic.
