Off Topic Eggs

[ROKER PARK]

What do they feed hens on these days?
When I was a kid all the eggs were white. Now they all brown.
Even the ones I get off the lads over the allotments are brown & I know for a fact they're true free range cos I see them clucking about. Whatever happened to white eggs?

White eggs are as rare as hen's teeth. There used to be white eggs cos hens used to eat white dog ****...

**** off mate.

Stay off the eggs mate - you need to lower your chloresteral.

The LATEST from the Medics on eggs is that they are indeed full of chlorestoral.
However it's of the GOOD variety.

So NOW it's a good thing to eat eggs.

Till the next 'Study'

Not that "late" really - I've know for years that eggs are full of HDL cholesterol (the stuff that is good for you) as opposed to LDL. HDL helps the body break down LDL (from what I remember from my diabetes education I did when getting my insulin pump)

Well I never knew that Bri, thank you for answering my question.
I've often wondered as I eat a lot of eggs but I've never seen a white one for donkey's years.
I can get blue duck eggs off the allotment lads but it's quite an acquired taste.
They have a very strong flavoured yolk.

I get my occasional 'Duck Egg Fix' from either Sainsbury's or Tesco, but I've never heard of 'blue duck eggs'.
What are they ?
------------

Sometimes I make an omelette with mine and yes it's very nice with cheddar.
Many years ago, when Lambton Lion Park was open, I attracted the attention of some long legged bird that had evidently escaped.
It also had a very long pointed beak.
It followed me, ignoring everyone else, trying to get the odd peck but didn't do too much damage.
Eventually one of the staff came, collared it and took it back to wherever it came from.

A short while later the bloke found me and apologised on behalf of 'The Park'.
How could they make it up, he asked.
Then he asked if I liked omelettes. The answer was yes.
Follow me then.
Off we went to one of the little cafe's where the cook took an OSTRICH egg out of the cupboard and made an omelette.
Me and my friends got first pick, then he served it round.
Talk about feeding the five thousand.

That was even 'stronger' than duck egg.

I've never had the chance to try it again and, SADLY, the days when long legged birds chase after me is long gone

Fried onions, vine tomatoes and Mrs Kirkhams Chedder bought from the Court yard cheeses near Settle, Which is a cracking place to visit if you are over this way.

Was this pun intentional?

No but I wish it was

I know because I had loads of family living just off cockfield fell so used to help the chicken keepers when I was a kid, one of those quirky things i remember. I like blue eggs and a strong yoke. I like a duck egg too, fill you right up they do, again a rich yolk

so do i, Beardsley shimmy comes to mind, biggest duck egg on here
