guess some people don't realize that eggs don't come from a dairy animal - cow or goat (either does breast milk)

You buy 'em in the dairy section of the supermarket, don't ya? I imagine that's the extent of how far some people follow the food chain... I was a little surprised to see no bacon...

Eggs are frequently combined with dairy products as well (e.g. French Toast, cheese souffle) and are primary sources of animal proteins, fats, and calcium, as are dairy products.

I'm sorry, but what the HECK are you talking about? "...so many..."

Barely 1% of the challenge entries fall into the category you mention. Do the math, you'll find that's NOT very many eggs. Must be one that looks too good to you...you know, maybe like a winner? ;^)

...and no, my entry does not have an egg in it. Just found this to be an unusual callout.

The Duck-Billed Platypus lays eggs AND suckles its young.

I for one keep a herd of these beautiful creatures in my back garden for the sole purpose of supplying milk for my breakfast cereal. Their eggs are delicious fried and accompany platypus steak wonderfully. Their beaks are a rich source of vitamin C. Hence, if I was shipwrecked on a desert island I could think of no better companion.

Eggs is dairy. QED.

where are all these eggs you speak of?

"where the subject relates to milk or milk products"

Definition of Dairy:

1 : a room, building, or establishment where milk is kept and butter or cheese is made

2 : the department of farming or of a farm that is concerned with the production of milk, butter, and cheese b : a farm devoted to such production

3 : an establishment for the sale or distribution chiefly of milk and milk products

Dont see any chickens there... Maybe the Oxford English dictionary people arent thinking outside the box enough ;)

Here's the food Pyramid. You decide whether eggs are Dairy
I edited my original post because I was wrong. I thought eggs were Dairy too. Turns out they are meat? Must be the protein content.

milk is a nutritious secretion a female mammal produces to sustain her offspring.

eggs (food wise) are an unfertalised ovum that could have potentially have been offspring if inseminated.

This is why eggs are nutritionally considered a meat and not a diary product.
Bear is right though, in some countries eggs are found in the dairy section of the supermarket (in some they are not) and back in the day of the milkman, eggs were one of the things you purchased from his truck.

Yah - until he jabbed you with the poisonous spurr on his elbow and killed your arse lol

This is VERY strange. How can there be any debate about this? By definition, "dairy" products are milk plus anything made from milk. Period. Any kind of milk will do, but if it isn't milk and it didn't start with milk, it isn't "dairy".

Pre-meat? LOL. If you say so. Also fish lay eggs and fish isn't meat and if it was, Catholics would starve during lent.

The Protestants, who apparently had a hand in placing the little blue fishies on the above pyramid, have never had difficulty identifying fish as meat. Animal Flesh = meat. And I'll only add that the OP wasn't referring to fish eggs as being under question in the dairy challenge.

Eggs are just liquid chicken.
