Are Eggs Dairy? The Internet Debates Over Cake

Are Eggs Dairy? The Internet Debates Over Cake

So you made a cake to bring to a friend who was making you dinner. They asked if you could make it dairy-free, so you triple-checked your recipe. And then, seemingly out of nowhere, you're the dinner party villain because… it had eggs. That's the drama Reddit user Sea-Neighborhood6638 walked into when her thoughtful dessert sparked a meltdown over what, exactly, counts as dairy. In the now-viral post on r/AITAH, an unfortunate dinner guest recapped how she got into a milk-fueled debate, saying: "My friend invited me over for dinner. Our tradition is to bring food when invited to dinner. I asked if I should bring a dessert. She said that would be great, but it needs to be dairy-free because her daughter stopped eating dairy." She continued: "I know a great cake recipe with no dairy. I brought it to the dinner and it was a big hit. My friend asked for the recipe and I told her. When I got to the eggs, her daughter became upset and ran upstairs." "My friend asked why I put eggs in the cake. I said the eggs were responsible for the spongy texture. She said the cake wasn't dairy-free. I said it was. There is no milk or milk products in the cake, no cheese, no butter, etc..." "My friend said, 'Eggs are dairy.' I was confused. Dairy is milk and milk products, to my understanding. She said, 'Dairy is anything that comes from an animal.'" "I asked if honey is dairy, then. She said no, because bees are insects. I apologized, but I could tell she was still upset." So Sea-Neighborhood6638 turned to the Reddit community for judgement, "Am I the asshole? I've never heard of eggs being dairy before." Curious Redditers immediately swarmed to this story, because whether you or someone you love has dietary restrictions, you know the drama they can cause... and many people sided with the cake maker. User TarzanKitty shut down the OP's (original poster's) concerns quickly: 'Eggs are not dairy. If she wanted vegan, she needed to say vegan.' Candid-Solid-896 said plainly, "I think that mom is confused about the terminology." And Defiant_Ingenuity_55 brought the logic hammer: "When people can show you a cow laying an egg… I'm lactose intolerant, eggs are not included." Others speculated this wasn't a misunderstanding — it was misdirection. 'Yeah, it sounds like she didn't want to say her daughter is going through a vegan 'phase' and instead said no dairy, like to sound like an allergy almost?' wrote daydreamingofkittens. Yikes. According to some, this cake drama begs a question that goes beyond baking into something more existential... 'English is a language we share in common to communicate with each other,' said tha_4101, continuing: 'It boggles my mind how many people think they can just make stuff up.' But other folks sympathized with the friend's confusion and had their own explanations for where their lines got crossed: 'I bet it's because of the 'dairy aisle' at the grocery store,' noted cele311. 'I thought the same thing when I was a kid.' Others referenced the old-school food pyramid that lumped eggs and milk together, giving '80s kids a lifetime of nutritional gaslighting. Accurate-Arachnid-64 took that argument even further, taking the friend's sid, commenting: "You are the asshole. Dairy regularly refers to eggs and milk products, even if dairy is just milk and milk products. It's been that way since the 1870s." Even Redditors' spouses weighed in, with one user sharing: 'I just asked my husband if eggs are dairy... he said yes....... when I asked him how they are dairy he went 'derriere.'' So at least someone's getting laughs out of this. Johnniegirl1970 came to this wise conclusion: "The real issue wasn't the cake, but the communication." They elaborated: "While eggs are considered an animal product as far as vegetarians and vegans are concerned, they are not considered a dairy product, which are made from the milk of mammals, such as cheese, yogurt, sour cream, and those kinds of things. Your friend needs to understand that, and she needs to explain that to her daughter." For the next dinner party (if there is a next one), one commenter had a piece of advice for the OP: "I'd bring wine next time and ignore the kid." An adults-only peace offering might be just what this situation needs. But I want to know: how would you feel in the cake maker's shoes? What do you think qualifies as dairy?

Mom-to-Be Refuses to Agree to Husband's 'Unique' Baby Names from Favorite Fantasy Novel

A pregnant woman says she and her husband are at odds over what to name their baby In a post shared to Reddit, the woman writes that the couple has been "discussing (arguing about) a name for the last 8 months" The problem? She wants something classic, while her husband wants something "unique" from one of his favorite works of fictionA soon-to-be mom says she isn't interested in compromising on a baby name with her husband, who wants something "unique." In a post shared to Reddit, the anonymous 31-year-old writes that she and her husband still don't know the sex of their baby, but have been "discussing (arguing about) a name for the last 8 months." "Now I'm afraid there is going to be a tug of war at the hospital over the birth certificate," she writes. "Stylistically, we want very different things." "I like 'classic' names," she explains. "To give a few examples for a boy's name: Martin, Silas, Calvin. My husband prefers more unique names — he suggested both Artemis and Entrari from his favorite work of fiction." The woman writes that she is not interested in naming the child "after a fictional assassin and he doesn't want to name his child after 'an old man.'" "Combining one 'old man' name with one 'unique name/fictional reference' seems to create a really weird-sounding combination and we are both arguing over the first name anyway," she continues. While she would love for them to both be "happy with the child's name," her husband "hates every single name I suggest," and vice versa. "I do feel as though I should have a little more influence over the name, if only because he automatically gets the child's last name, no questions asked," she continues. After months of arguing, she presented her husband with a compromise, telling him "that the child could have whatever name he picked out, on the condition that they get my maiden last name." However, he "refused," which she knew would happen. "I don't actually expect them to have my last name. I was just trying to express that I understand how important the last name is and I would accept his first name suggestion if I had the privilege of automatically assuming the last name," she explains.

Now, the mom-to-be says she is "getting less and less excited about the arrival of the child, because it is surrounded by disagreement after disagreement." "I feel like I'm not getting to name the child something that means a lot to me, names that I have had in my notes app since I was in high school," she writes. "He said that he doesn't want to sigh (out of distaste) every time he has to call out this child's name." Fellow Reddit users weighed in on the baby-naming debacle, with many siding with the poster, emphasizing that they are "naming a person, not forcing the world to play 'guess the reference' with his favorite literary properties." One person suggested the couple each "create a list of baby names you think the other person would like." "Emphasize that you get he likes unique names, but he needs to consider your tastes as well," the person explains. "See if you can come up with a list of 'cool names' that you think he would like that aren't distasteful to you, and ask that he do the same." "Are there characters from books, comics, movies he likes that have more traditional names? Are there 'vintage' or 'classic' names that are more unique and don't sound so old-fashioned?" the commenter continued. "There is definitely room for compromise here if both of you agree that the other's opinions are important as well." Read the original article on People
