Raw native chicken's egg and hot rice

Back then, when what's on the table wasn't in tune to my moody taste buds, I am simply served raw native chicken's egg mixed with hot rice and seasoned with salt. That makes my childhood food memories as fresh as the "Bisaya nga manok" eggs. And I haven't tried one in decades so good thing there were some " itlog sang BIsaya nga manok " in the fridge and just some leftover rice (the magic of microwave oven) - the childhood gastronomy was relived. But I also take these native eggs, directly  - from the fridge, crack it open and drink. Others mixed native chicken's eggs with hot milk making a liquid leche flan! Anymore egg memories you can share?

It's a meat-lovers dream come true - assorted wurst  (sausages), fried pork knuckles, schnitzel ( meat, thinned by pounding with a  meat tenderizer, coated with flour, beaten eggs and bread crumbs, and then fried), a basket of home-made German breads, vegetable side dish and  Kartoffelsalat (German potato salad) It's megacombo of their assorted platters (Sausage, Butcher's, etc ) given a more festive look which attracted me in the first place. A perfect "to be shared" meal with
