More than an egg a day?

[Archie_tect]

I think one egg's ample, it's an oeuf.

Old riddle


Which came first the chicken or the egg

Hence the cartoon in reply

Ah ha, I was using *our* in a very literal sense for the 4 that live in the garden. 2-3 eggs a day and they can still be warm when we collect them and pop 'em in a pan.

I probably go through a box of 6 a week, by myself. 3 omelettes a week, sounds about right to me. I've not dropped dead of eggcessive omelette making yet.

You need eggs to make most cakes

I'd hate to be a hen- what a life, 2-3 eggs a day.... ouch.

Haha, that'd be harsh, it's 2-3 between all 4, it takes them just over a day to brew a new one. We get them as rescues from battery/barns once they're no longer laying enough to suit commercial ends, I don't like to think how intensively they get pushed in that environment, at least with us they get to retire wirh no pressure to perform.

Makes your eyes water just thinking about even 1 a day...

I knew a bloke that ate 2 eggs every day..........doctors reckon thats what killed him
.
He was 147 yrs old when he died

I had two scrambled for lunch with ketchup so they didn't taste of egg

Eating them cold however will kill you, and cold with mayonnaise will kill not only you, but everyone within a 5 mile radius too...disgusting

I've no idea why anyone would add mayonnaise. You've got eggs and butter and you add eggs and oil????? Best to make the scrambled eggs lush in the first place and eat it fresh. There's nothing to stop you gently - very gently - frying a finely chopped clove of garlic with some herbs in a generous - very generous - pan of butter before cracking a couple of eggs into the butter pool. Heat at lowest. Stir. Stop when it's still just that little bit undercooked. There's enough heat left in the pan to finish the cooking off. You want to get the opposite texture to a slice of crunchy toast. You don't really need ketchup to add to this. Fried mushrooms would be good though. (Health alert: because of kidney disease, my doctor want to treat my cholesterol level as that of a diabetes risk. So, from a respectable 4.27 he wants me down to 3. I think, therefore, that until my next cholesterol test, I better abstain. But when I hit 3, I have a breakfast planned....)

One or maybe two a week.

Pickled eggs, food of the gods.
Two with a bag of chips and I'm a very happy bunny.
