Sam Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hello I just cracked open a week old double yolker, one of the yolks was fine and yellow, but the other was dark and brown and looked like a brain It put me off my dinner! Is this a 'meat' spot? If so, what causes them? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henslaved Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I'm not sure about this one but as you describe it, it sounds like a lash has gone along with the yolk and been encapsulated in the shell (lashes aren't pretty). How big was the "brown yolk"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 It was about half the size of a normal yolk, beige, meat/brain texture. I thought lash (i sounded really clever diagnosing it to everyone ) but then went to FAQ's and found out that lashs are laid instead of eggs. The white was normal Bizarre!

Guest Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 it'll just be another unformed egg that's got caught up inside the other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 No I wasn't brave enough to open it It really did make me feel ill so I threw it all in the bin! I'm tempted to dig it out and cut it open now ... right i'm gunna do it!! If I find it i'll post photos... beware!! Thanks Poet - it sounds similar, just curious now to see if it is pink inside!! Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Right after looking at it, it's actually yellow, and yellow inside. It looked a lot worse in the pan I'm pretty sure it is just an unformed yolk, got mixed in with the developed yolk. Great, and she laid a double yolker again today!! pics to follow.

Henslaved Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Well done for being brave . Sometimes you just have to investigate these things . Look forward to the pics . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 It looks a lottttttt better than I remember!! Think I may have been over reacting but I'm sure it was beige in the pan Undeveloped yolk? ps - I used plastic cutlery and a few tissues as a chopping board Would have been cleaning the knife and chopping board all night!

Henslaved Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hmmmmmm interesting , doesn't look like a lash to me, you could be right, looks more like a dodgy yolk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
