There’s several variations due to varying languages, dialects, and such but I always heard what he’s referring to phrased like this:

> ”The chicken is involved but the pig is committed.”

That is, while both are needed to make breakfast, the pig has a bigger stake in the project.

The chicken may be providing the eggs but the pig is being eaten!

Bringing the egg....versus being the bacon.

It falls flat because people eat chicken for breakfast too..

when used rhetorically it's usually with an explicit context of "bacon & eggs" or "ham & eggs"

Wait but what if I’m eating oyakodon with some crumbled bacon on top?

/kidding, I know this is an absurd stretch of the terms, appreciate all the explanations.
