What is claimed is:
1. A simulated raw egg comprising: egg-white, the egg-white being liquid at room temperature; and
- a homogeneous shaped monolithic separate phase of a simulated, non-flowable, egg-yolk disposed in the egg-white, said egg-yolk comprising an edible liquid, a colorant, and a thixotropic viscosity modifier which modifier comprises a positive thermoreversible gel former, said gel former being in an effective amount to render the edible liquid
- non-flowable, as to substantially retain its monolithic status in, and be substantially immiscible with the liquid egg-white at room temperature after the egg-yolk has been chilled, and
- flowable at serving temperatures between cooking temperatures and room temperature for at least a finite period of time, after the egg-yolk has been brought to said serving temperatures from a higher temperature at which the egg-yolk becomes flowable.
