It can be pretty, but I find it best used for hiding 
under a loose floorboard or in a safety deposit box, or 
for people with metal allergies.  Then again a friend of 
mine formed an allergy to his 14k wedding band.  He 
reacts a lot less to sterling, so we posit he's actually 
allergic to copper.

I'm not fond of it in either context. Snarkiness however 
can be a distinct pleasure.

Good idea.  I'd imagine the yolks go into something else; 
Chinese cooks don't waste stuff like "healthy" modern 
Americans sometimes.

Boiled chicken - could be delicious or nasty depending.
It can't hurt boneless breasts either way.
