An inside-out egg image first appeared on food blogger Michael Natkin's Herbivoracious blog as a troll-like piece of content back in 2009 (yeah, we're late). Natkin led with the image and followed with a story on how he found the egg at a local Farmer's Market where a farmer supposedly told him an "heirloom breed of chicken" that he was in the process of establishing as a breeding flock had produced just a few sample eggs to sell.

A week or so later Natkin put up a new blog post, a confession that his inside-out egg was in fact not a savory find but a dessert recipe that was made from mango set with agar-agar, coconut cream and molded in a plastic easter egg. Apparently the resulting oozing recipe shot looked too realistic for him not to prank his readership.

As a piece offering, he provided the recipe in his reveal.
