I ate tofu sabji made by my pua, thinking that it is panner just had one bite then realising it was tofu, I'm just unsure whether the today she used had egg in it which is slightly bothering me because I know my pua ji is very careless when it comes to buying stuff and reading the ingredients, do I have to pesh for this I'm unsure whether the particular tofu she used is eggless.

Why don't we eat egg? When I'm in a situation where I need to tell someone I can't eat a cake or biscuits etc because they have egg in them and that I don't eat meat they usually turn around and say egg isn't meat!   So why don't we eat egg? From my experience apart from Hindus no one else understands and get confused about me not  being allowed to eat egg

You generally are allowed. Many Sikhs do eat eggs even if they are vegetarian. Nihangs, who are well known for consuming Jhatka, do not even classify eggs in the same category as meat.

Obviously this is all subjective, and a matter of opinion. I personally believe there is nothing wrong with eating them.

A lot of the justifications for and against are absolutely ridiculous. You'll be extremely hard pressed to find a Sikh who can make a decent argument on dietary rulings without being biased, having an agenda, or misusing Gurbani etc.

eggs are forbidden since they reproductive organs. Would you take out your mother's or sister's ovaries and consume the eggs????

A little common sense goes a long way. 

Thank you and goodbye.

Beere you habing tooo much corex!!

Firstly, eggs are basically chicken periods. Yum. Chakho chakho ji.

Secondly, the conditions in which chickens are kept. Free range caged organic whatever is pure marketing bs. Chickens in the egg industry live 1-2years. Chickens in nature live an average lifespan of 5-11years. Not to mention all the crap they're fed including minced chicken. 

Thirdly, male chicks are of no use for egg or meat production, and are killed almost immediately after hatching; either thrown into a grinder (‘macerator’) while still alive or gassed to death- the preferred method in the UK. All with in hours of being born. More than 100 million male chicks are killed by the egg industry every year in the states alone. Male chicks are no good for the meat industry since chickens in the egg industry are bred to produce high quality eggs; the focus is not the quality of the meat.

Fourthly, female chicks have the tips of their beaks sliced off with a hot blade without being sedated. This is done so the chickens don't hurt each other out of sheer frustration of their intense confinement. The beak is more sensitive than our finger tips loaded with pain receptors, nerve endings and blood vessels.

Fifthly, eggs are pure shet. Slight exaggeration but whatever. Extremely high in cholesterol containing over 180mg. Recommended daily intake is 100-300mg. An egg contains about 6g of protein. 2 tablespoons of peanut butter contains 8g. A handful of brocoli/beans/couliflower/seeds/nuts/oats contains more protein. So what's the actual benefit of eating egg?

Sixthly, chickens are smart, social, sensitive and blummin cute animals who deserve a better life. Animals are friends, not food.

No bias. No agenda. No gurbani. Just facts. I'm not for or against the consumption of meat/eggs but consumers should at the very least not be so willfully ignorant. Unfortunately we're all so far removed from our food and it's journey. Anyone with the knowledge and an ounce of compassion wouldn't go near mass produced eggs. If you own your own chickens and keep them in decent conditions, love and care for them, you may just get away with justifying consuming their periods.

In conclusion, don't be a d*ck. Eat a gajjar.

How did you learn all this?

    • Ik i'm a few (13) years late but basically: Get a single Mal-mal dastar (around 3-5 metres) and starch it. You just whisk 2 ladles of starch (Kershaw's, cornstarch or maida) with around 5 cups of water until it's completely smooth and mix it on low heat flame for around 20 mins until it goes clear and think like water. When this cools off, take a clean but damp turban and soak it into the starch and make sure you coat the whole dastar evenly You leave it out to hang dry in the sun/air. Once dry u can store it in a cool, dry place until you wanna tie it (for about 4 months) Take the dastar, sprinkle some water all throughout the turban to make it slightly wet and just soft enough to tie. Then you and another person hold the dastar at each end to make a stretched rectangle (two people holding one corner in each of their hands). Fold it in half width-wise 3 times. Tie the turban like this quite loosely. The starch will make it tighter as it dries BUT TIE IT STAIGHT ONTO YOUR HEAD. NO MINi-TURBAN BENEATH IT. JUST TIE YOUR FLATTENED JOORA ON TOP OF YOUR HEAD AND THE DASTAR DIRECTLY ON TOP Secure it with pins and wear it on your head until it has dried from the water you sprinkled before the pooni. After it has completely dried (give it around 3-4 hours just to make sure) you take it off your head DO NOT UNWRAP IT TAKE IT OFF IN IT'S SHAPE and the next time you need to wear you can just place it on your head over your flattened joora instead of tying this. You can do this for around 5 months after you first tied it until you have to ever tie it again.
    • I tie a Punjabi style dastar with starch. Why do people hate this so much? Once when I was tying my dastar my neck seized up and the apna doctor said staying in that position daily for more than 5 mins is dangerous. He recommended a starched pagg like his dad. And I respect my pagg more than my life. I put it on the top shelf of my cupboard whenever it isn't on my head, recite Waheguruji da naam whenever I am tying my joora, fifty and when i place the Dastar on my head and I mata thek and kiss  it before I do. And when I do tie it (every 4 months when the starch starts to weaken) I make sure that I pooni and tie it with much love and whilst reciting paath. I get that if someone treats their turban like a hat (eg: throwing it on the floor, cramping it or just disrespecting it) then this is unacceptable but just cos one puts their pagg on their head rather than tying it each time doesn't mean they treat it as such. (and let's be honest, starched or not we've all put our dad's pagg on our head like a hat when we were kids as a joke and meant no disrespect. Intention is everything). Ik Singhs who get angry tying their pagg and start doing maa/phen di gaaliyan, and when they take it off they just throw to the side and wait to tie it again next time. (Also, I'm from a Jat Sikh family so pls don't try to make this about "starched paggs are tarkhan/caste based" or anything stupid like that). PS: I do remember that stupidness in the 90s/early 2000s UK when Sikh men used to have a tiny starched paggs and were completely clean shaven or had a little goatee like Herbie Sahara/ Vijay from achanak. Now THAT was stupid and deserves all the hate but I just mean the concept of a starched dastar whether it's Punjabi Style, Kenyan style or whatever
    • Anyone know how to tie this turban? My Nani's dad tied it, it was starched but i can't work out whether the pooni was kenyan orpunjabi (like folded or an actual pooni). This was very common before partition, and uses a single dastar (not double stitched). Is it js Kenyan pagg with a higher larr?
    • It doesn't matter. What the nihangs did 100 years ago has no relevance today. Because people fight differently now. As a karate black belt, 90% of what we learn is useless, cos it revolves around how people fought 100 years ago. Today, most teenage boys likely to cause fights (at least in the uk) do boxing. But when boxing was really popular, people used to throw punches, hence why the "man to man fist fight" image was there. But now that UFC is popular, people do all sorts like grappling, knees and all (even with no training).  And also, I highly doubt anyone ever attacked a nihang Singh unarmed back then, just by seeing their saroop with shastaraan. What they did do, however, was Loh Mushti but that was more of a sport than a combat system. They definitely would have trained in basic fighting like wrestling and strikes but not a system. Because any good fighter knows that trying to find a "code" to fight by is stupid. But in terms of unarmed fighting, it was rare and probably revolved around disarming an armed attacker (do NOT even attemp to learn that, you will get killed and there's no point even trying to learn).   If you're interested for historical/ preservation purposed then great, but if you want to learn it for self defense or fighting tactics then pls don't, because what worked then won't work now and Nihangs were probably quite limited in hand to hand combat training cos they're armed to the teeth, deterring any unarmed attacker and killing one if they tried to fight
