The duck-billed platypus is an (and i'm not sure, but possibly the only) egg laying mammal. Mammals (eg human) and non-mammals (eg chicken) ovulate reguarly. Chicken eggs are eaten. Presumeably if a duck-billed platypus ovulation isnt fertilised, its egg can be eaten. Correct?

I think one type of Anteater lays eggs also, maybe someone will come up with which one, and as for the eating of Mammel eggs, I don't see why not.

The Chinese and in all likelyhood the Japanese eat whale eggs. However, these are - I assume - savagely taken from these fine creatures bodies rather than 'raiding the nest' so to speak. A horrific and barbaric practice but it is, I believe, true.

KRUSTY - I think it would have to be taken from a dead whale as they give birth to live young as far as I know.

CT - I never implied that they were alive. I simply consider the killing of whales to be, both, horrific and barbaric.
