 Scrambled, boiled, poached, baked, fried, beaten, whipped, and even raw—the egg has sustained the human race for over 5,000 years, but it’s still full of surprises. This video cracks open the secrets of nature’s ready-made meal and traces its path through history, including an ancient Roman custard recipe, the importance of powdered eggs in World War II, how the British egg industry nearly collapsed, the truth behind the egg salmonella scares of the 1960s, and modern innovations that have improved life for captive chickens. Chef Paul Merrett creates an authentic Spanish omelet, a superb soufflé, a scrumptious eggy bread, and poached eggs to use in eggs Benedict. Produced by the Open University. (30 minutes)
