Who was the first person to eat an egg?
Seriously, though. Who was the first Homo sapien to look at a chicken that just layed an egg and think, "Hey! Look what just came out of that chicken! I wonder if it tastes good..."
Disclaimer: I have nothing at all against eggs or chickens. They are nutritious and quite delicious when cooked properly. This question is meant to be asked in all innocence.
I'm sure that many animals have been eating eggs for almost all of history, but who was the first current human to think that eating an egg would be a good idea? And how did they think to cook it (or not)?
Innocently wondering,
Anna
For that matter, who ever decided it was a good idea to drink what comes out of a cow's udder or a goat? I love milk, but I've often wondered why that first person decided to drink milk from an animal.
