The two eggs, eggs from chicken and eggs from fish, complement each other quite well. But if we allow the eggs to become animals they don’t complement each other so well. Dishes combining both fish and chicken are rare. Pizza with chicken and anchovy work well but I cannot think of many other dishes. Now bacon is appearing in sweet dishes and chocolate is used for some savoury dishes. I won’t be surprised to see chicken and fish making an appearance together in future.

Eating mud pies can be good for the belly, according to recent research findings. I am not talking about  Mississippi mud pie but mud. Eating of earth, known as geophagy, has been reported on every inhabited continent and in almost every country. According to research, the most probable explanation for human geophagy is that it protects the stomach against toxins, parasites, and pathogens.

A database of geophagy was compiled. The database showed that geophagy is most common in women in the early stages of pregnancy and in pre-adolescent children. Both categories of people are especially sensitive to parasites and pathogens. In addition, geophagy is most common in tropical climates where foodborne microbes are abundant. People also eat earth during episodes of gastrointestinal stress. 

So if you crave mud from time to time, or eat it without telling anyway, don’t be embarrassed. You are not the only one! On a related note a biotechnology professor that I know of mentioned that eating food that has fallen on the floor can be good since it helps to strengthen the immune system.
