It MIGHT just be saying, because it makes no sense. It's too difficult. It's simpler to break the egg and beat it if you want it raw, but scrambled egg is edible with no teeth and as old as pita (flat bread), i.e. ancient.

Pizza pre-dates tomato. It's a corruption of pita, which originally was just flat bread, not "pocket bread".
