What came first; the Chicken or the Egg? Personally I really don’t care about this dilemma and I am even more so puzzled that actually scientists where studying this for years! All I care from where the egg is coming from and from where my chicken and already there it starts for me; almost scientific research when asking for the origin in my local supermarket. As almost all food is imported in Dubai one wonders if the chicken we are eating is from China, India, Holland or Kenya. Not being a racist but since I know the food I eat is not grown/raised/ manufactured here in Dubai I would like to know from where all this stuff is coming from.

Now to the first question; came across this article in CNN; yup, CNN:

LONDON, England — It’s a question that has baffled scientists, academics and pub bores through the ages: What came first, the chicken or the egg?
Now a team made up of a geneticist, philosopher and chicken farmer claim to have found an answer. It was the egg.
Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal’s life.
Therefore the first bird that evolved into what we would call a chicken, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg.
Professor John Brookfield, a specialist in evolutionary genetics at the University of Nottingham, told the UK Press Association the pecking order was clear.
The living organism inside the eggshell would have had the same DNA as the chicken it would develop into, he said.
“Therefore, the first living thing which we could say unequivocally was a member of the species would be this first egg,” he added. “So, I would conclude that the egg came first.”
The same conclusion was reached by his fellow “eggsperts” Professor David Papineau, of King’s College London, and poultry farmer Charles Bourns.
Mr Papineau, an expert in the philosophy of science, agreed that the first chicken came from an egg and that proves there were chicken eggs before chickens.
He told PA people were mistaken if they argued that the mutant egg belonged to the “non-chicken” bird parents.
“I would argue it is a chicken egg if it has a chicken in it,” he said.
“If a kangaroo laid an egg from which an ostrich hatched, that would surely be an ostrich egg, not a kangaroo egg.”
Bourns, chairman of trade body Great British Chicken, said he was also firmly in the pro-egg camp.
He said: “Eggs were around long before the first chicken arrived. Of course, they may not have been chicken eggs as we see them today, but they were eggs.”
The debate, which may come as a relief to those with argumentative relatives, was organized by Disney to promote the release of the film “Chicken Little” on DVD

Egg, Chicken Muffin

Anyway, with all that rumble I got hungry and got myself a Egg with Chicken Muffin made for a breakfast snack; who cares about the egg ‘n the chicken or from where either is coming from!
