Something you can make with Eggs
Origin
Eggs have been consumed by humans for thousands of years and are believed to have originated from wild birds' nests. The exact origin of domesticated chicken eggs, which are the most commonly consumed eggs, can be traced back to the red junglefowl (Gallus gallus) in Southeast Asia. These birds were domesticated by humans around 5,000 years ago, and their eggs have been a valuable source of nutrition ever since. Over time, eggs from other bird species such as ducks, geese, and quails have also been domesticated and are consumed in various cultures around the world.
