Title: Eggs.
Post by: Amigo on 06 February 2010, 19:14:08
Most of us love 'em & you can do so much with them. Some friends keep layers & deliver 18 for £2.50. The quality is unbeatable. They hold together when poaching, turn out really yellow when scrambled, stay in a nice round shape when frying on a low heat without burning at the edges, great for egg fried rice & the cheesy mushroom omelettes or to die for!!! :P + they actually taste of egg :P (many don't).
    Makes me wonder why supermarket eggs are so small, lacking in flavour & are just harder to cook properly? ::)

Hi AmigoMV6 ;) I can't agree more about supermarket eggs (shudder). When you crack 'em, the yolks look like they're swimming in water more often than not & yes, you're right, they are usually tasteless. I wish I had a ready supply of the 'real thing' :'(

I was talking to a mate who introdused me to a farmer friend of his, he said I could pop in for hen or duck eggs anytime when passing.  Never had chance to pop back but I right fancy some duck eggs.

Last had a ducks egg more than twenty years ago Skruntie, & your post brought back the lovely creamy taste as clearly as if i'd just had it for my tea! Isn't the human brain amazing? :y

Some supermarket eggs are from caged birds & so they won't taste as good as say your free range from your local farmer who's chickens roam freely to pick up all the good stuff like insects & worms etc. You get out what you put in :)
My dad kept fowls, we used to sell the eggs from our chickens, duck & geese. Milk to from the goats, goats milk is good if you're asthmatic.

If you bake cakes, use duck eggs, they make the sponge really fluffy :y

I forgot eggs benedict although making the the hollandaise sauce is a faff, lovely though.

   Scrambled with smoked salmon or proper ham for brekky.

   Egg mayo for your sarnies (plenty of ground black pepper)

   Soft boiled eggs with toastie marmite dippy soldiers!!!

   Egg & bacon in a toasted muffin (cheese optional) mine are better than maccie d's.

    Scotch eggs. If you can be bothered vary the taste by adding herbs & garlic to the sausage meat for italian or coriander, cumin, turmeric & chilli for indian.  :P :P :P

Who remembers the TV advert for eggs? He is in cheap hotel/b&b and comes down for breakfast, the owner (woman with headscarf) shouts though how do youwant your eggs?  He sits back & thinks or loads of ways he could have eggs cooked, as she shouts back 'fried or boiled'
I assume it was to do with 'go to work on an egg'  ;)  ;)

I've Google it, & it appears I'm not the only one who can't find it elsewhere.  :y
