We fancied poached eggs for tea yesterday and I was idly reading the egg box whilst waiting for the water to boil.....
Wow! White eggs! I haven't seen any of those in a long while......
Wow! Who knew??
I wondered about the sudden change from the usual brown eggs to white ones and whether or not it's related to the recent bird flu outbreak. Perhaps the farmer has had to replace his flock with a new breed of hens? Anyway, they had lovely golden yolks and tasted delicious...
I hope you are all keeping warm in this very cold and icy spell. It was -4C last night, obviously nowhere near as cold as in Scotland, but I was glad of my dressing gown laid over the bed and my hot water bottle to cuddle up to.
Thanks for popping in. Stay warm and safe wherever you happen to be,
Angie 💗
Still not too cold over here in Suffolk - thank goodness
ReplyDeleteI remember brown eggs being special and all shop bought eggs being white!
ReplyDeleteIndeed they were, Kirsten, all my childhood eggs were white. That's why it was a shock to find these ones in the box. I haven't seen white eggs for years!
DeleteFreezing here in Derbyshire, have invested in windscreen covers for our cars. My Gran used to say if you had eggs and potatoes you had the makings of a few meals. Hugs Gill Xx
ReplyDeleteYour Gran was so right, Gill. Egg and chips, omelettes, jacket potatoes, scrambled eggs on toast, poached eggs on toast, boiled eggs, potato cakes with eggs....the list is endless isn't it :)
DeleteIt was always white eggs when I lived in the UK. Eggs are always brown here. We've had an egg shortage and of course the supermarkets have put the prices up!
