Should the title be changed from "Egg as food" to "Egg (food)"? 146.90.163.73 ( talk) 09:38, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
I note that on the List of Chicken Breeds page (I don't know how to link that here /info/en/?search=List_of_chicken_breeds) the first chicken breed in the UK is the burford brown. The link for the burford brown is to this page, although there's no explanation why it does. Since the burford brown chicken doesn't have a page of its own, there shouldn't be a link at all, and certainly not to this page as there is no specific reference to the burford brown on this page. The only mention of the burford brown is right at the top left under the title where it says, (Redirected from Burford Brown).
I tried to edit the original List of Chicken Breeds page but didn't know how to do that and came straight here instead, to verify if my assumption is correct, and to ask if someone could correct/update this as I don't know how to do that. Tzali ( talk) 21:30, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Change the anatomy and characteristics section to have 'χάλαζα' link to the English wiktionary page for the Ancient Greek word. I'd also suggest providing a transliteration, for the sake of utter disambiguation, though I accept that that may border on superfluous, given the preceding mention of 'the chalazae'.

This source was recently added to the lead [1]. The source is operated by the American Egg Board, this is not an independent source. Psychologist Guy ( talk) 13:30, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
Please re-read Krittanawong et al. You have misunderstood their work. Their main finding is the *opposite* of what you believe it to be. Check the conclusion in their abstract, "Our analysis suggests that higher consumption of eggs (more than 1 egg/day) was not associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but was associated with a significant reduction in risk of coronary artery disease." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32653422/ sbelknap ( talk) 23:22, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi there. I indeed clicked on the wrong footnote. I appologized most visibly in the edit comment, Sbelknap. I hope you can accept my apologies. In general, I will not go into an discussion if observational studies are the right tool for nutritional science, because they are the main tool of nutritional science.

Egg as food#Cooking should have a table similar to Temperatures in Cooking: Eggs .... 0mtwb9gd5wx ( talk) 11:17, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
Should this article include at least a note about plant-based eggs and the emerging market space that touches upon emerging consumer awareness of some of these issues? Surely the 'alternatives' around eggs has migrated from (a) simple replacements in baking to (b) aggressively marketed highly-refined alternatives sold on grocery store shelves.

I know WP:PLURAL; I wrote a good portion of it. I think this should be an exception.
WP:PLURAL has long allowed for plural titles where the singular is unnatural. Bacteria, Scissors, Fireworks, Seattle Seahawks, etc.--most relevantly of all, anchovies as food.
I know that you can talk about "an egg", just like you can talk about "an anchovy". But when we talk about them as food, we almost invariably use the plural in a way that many other topics do not. For the sake of WP:CONSISTency, let's move this. I know it might "ruffle some feathers", but you can't make an omelet without... Red Slash 19:03, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
