Hmmmm. Most soufflees call for egg whites, and many don't call for yolks
at all. Angel food cake uses whites only. Meringues. Clearmeat for
consomme.
Period dishes calling for egg whites only would include sambuccade and
various other white torta-type dishes, several sauces (creme bastarde,
for example?) as well as various medieval industrial processes.
Yes, they freeze well, if anything, better than yolks.
