Who ever looked at the inside of a raw egg and thought, "hey, I think I'll separate the yolk from the white and beat the white until stiff peaks form"? ???
It makes more sense when you're living in the 11th century and looking for easily-gathered products to make paint bases or glaze your illuminated manuscripts. You start experimenting, and soon you realize that it's more fun to whip the egg whites by themselves than to mix them with rabbit-hide-glue or powdered lead. Soon, you wonder if your wife couldn't bake this strange substance, and there you go.
