The yoke of an egg is perceived as white when cooked.
(otherwise its a clear gelatine substance which runs down the sink when you crack an egg and not pay attention)doh

Why would you write
the yoke of an egg.... when its so much easier to say

Egg yolk... with adding all the other words.? unless you are actually describing the 'the yoke of an egg' and finish it off with has properties etc..... dunno
But you had me thinking about it.... laugh
