We watched Alien the other day and there is a shot of the egg just after it opens, inside is what is supposed to be pulsating alien bits, but I recognized (thanks to a segment on Marth Stewart where they make this recipe for country Duck Pate) them as caul fat (aka crepinette and Nottingham Lace (?)), stretched over a large chicken breast or something similar. Watching the special features revealed that I was right, and also that the bits of the face hugger they poked through were actually seafood and fish bits. I'm suddenly not so hungry.
