I was a little curious why the egg has to be hard boiled.

Because it’s harder to digest! The point is, you use more calories digesting a hard boiled egg than you get from it. Or so the theory was at the time.

Well that’s just fucking nonsense. At least the celery myth starts on the premise that celery has 15 calories a serving instead of an egg, a food literally packed with all the calories and protein you need to make a baby chicken.

That’s nuts. I just assumed it was because hardboiled eggs are cooked without additional fat

Which is wild considering the spice trades of the… (according to the internet, prehistory through modernity, so that’s a thing…)

I have to assume that 1950s housewives were so thoroughly drugged up that they couldn’t tell the difference…

I know that they made everything in jello/aspic because gelatin was formerly a luxury, like sugar and basically any spices, so they went a bit batshit when they got cheap access…

I’ve been watching Sandwiches of History on YT lately, and noticing how much anchovy paste he goes through. I’m certain that 100 years ago, people were smoking so many cigarettes they had no sense of tastes except for the strongest concentrates.
