And talking of EGGS -

[tim]

- do hope that people don't go for the dry, pale, powdery hard boiled things, rather than the lush, 'hard cooked' ones?

Especially if they are then to go into curry or similar.

[kitty]

hens anyone?

[tim]

70% rise in Italy!!

[kitty]

Just had omelette with home grown garlic and spring onions and a sprinkling of (Scottish) cheddar.

The eggs were free range organic and local. Peter said when he shopped in Tesco on Friday the free range egg stocks were very low.

[rosebud]

Tim, i am just going to get my spoon and some bread and butter , those eggs look ready to eat Yummmmm!!. ;D

[tim]

But NOT the top one, Mary - please??

[kitty]

she'll have to have the top one-i've 'baggsied' the bottom one!
oooh!
soldiers and salt.......

[tim]

Noooo, kitty - too hard for soldiers. Even though still MOIST!!

The top one was meant to be the powdery one, but still had a bit of 'give' in the middle!

[kitty]

but i'd still want soldiers tim,(please)just they'd have to be toast ones...even tho theres no 'dippy'.....

you cant beat free range organic eggs!

[tim]

Oh, alright!

And just to correct my '70% price rise' - that  should have been 'fall in demand'.

I was given a goose egg last week, for some reason I couldn't bear the thought of eating it while it still resembled an egg! (silly I know), so I put it in a cake. Only crumbs remain.  ;D ;D ;D

[tim]

10 mins - just perfect!!

And soldiers? Enough room for the regiment!!

[Emagggie]

I shudder at the very thought. :-\

That second egg looks lovely.
I went to the reduced chilled shelf in tesco on Friday and there was loads of chicken products on it. From free range corn fed portions to whole stufed chickens. SO I got one stuffed with pork, sage and onion and with butter and herbs looks great. If i had more room in freezer would have bought more.
Mum works for M and S and she sayds they had loads of chicken left over at end of day.
Don't know why people overreact and panic this way.

[kitty]

cos they're  daft as brushes thats why! ::)
demand is still high at Kitty Towers! ;D

[grawrc]

Even if there is a spate of cases of bird flu it would not yet have entered the "food chain".

[Emagggie]

I wish I did like boiled/fried/poached eggs.......I think it's the texture of the white that puts me off-and that stringy bit from the white to the yolk.
Heaving now.! :P

[tim]

Duck eggs are even nicer - denser & richer.
