Yes, you’re right. It’s definitely gross. Time to buy some eggs!
Dr Suez’s Green Eggs and Ham is one of my favorites, but I never dreamed it was possible to have edible green eggs.
Ewwy cool! My first thought was “oh my, what a waste of copper carbonate and chromium oxide!” Then I read how you got that effect, and now I’m dying to try and replicate it in a glaze!!
Beth,
If you use the pigment from red cabbage or another plant, expect a color change upon long exposure to sunlight or other sources of UV light. Most of the pigments eventually turn brownish or yellow, which is what you would expect (fallen leaf colors).
It is disgusting. But it would probably make for a fun breakfast for the kids on Halloween morning. Thanks!
We use LN2 to cool the our gamma detectors too.
