So for those of you who know me you all know that I am probably one of the most random people you know. And for those of you who don't know me it is time for you all to learn that I am one of the most random people. I love wacky trivia and facts, I only remember random pieces of information and for some weird reason I tend to remember facts that are related to animals...don't friggin know why. However, since I started this blog I have started to collect random food facts. Why you might ask...well to be honest I just find them interesting and hell you never know when you are looking for a good conversation starter with a stranger and seriously what better way to strike up a conversation than to say something like this....

"So did you know that an egg has 17,000 pores in it?" I am guessing that most people that I would be talking to would probably have to say,"no." Which will allow me to follow up with,"yes eggs have 17,000 pores and that is why they are sold in cartons. It is so that the eggs don't absorb the flavor and smell of whatever you have in your fridge." Yeah you are probably thinking hmmm where does a conversation go after that and I will be honest and say I don't fucking know...but hell its a good opening line, right?

Here are a few other random food facts that you probably never knew that you wanted to know:

• Worcestershire sauce (yeah I can't say that word either) is made from dissolved anchovies, including the bones, that have been soaked in vinegar.
• The first soup was made in 6000BC and it was made with hippo
• A row of corn always has an even number of kernels
• The worlds oldest recipe is for beer
