Eggs be eggs.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. A Chinese buddy of mine sent me this a few years ago. Apparently counterfeit eggs are an actual problem in some parts of China. I cannot possibly fathom how this is cheaper than an actual egg, but apparently it's a thing and can make people sick if they eat them.

I have actually heard about that. Google "gutter oil" if you want some nightmares. They are working on food safety hard though.

The first section looks a lot like alginate spherification. It’s a fun demo to make a fake egg with it but it would be very obvious it isn’t an egg when you cooked it. It wouldn't set or act like an egg at all when heated. I’d also be very curious to see how they make the shell if it really is a fake egg.

For the second section, those are previously frozen eggs. Freezing them turns the yolk rubbery but doesn’t do much to the white.
