We've got a store on the corner called Sprouts ... organic and all that and walked over there to get some eggs. I was amazed at how much better they were when they cooked up and the taste also was different. Maybe there is a difference.RoeHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00131723337404316867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374840862168255424.post-1227284786811770412010-07-02T14:58:34.512-07:002010-07-02T14:58:34.512-07:00Guess I've heard the same and they usually say...Guess I've heard the same and they usually say it's the yoke.

Much nicer to be out running in the fresh air and sunshine. Since I hardly ever eat eggs, I would have to say that I probably could see the difference but not taste it. <br /><br />Hre in Vancouver, the city has decided that folks can keep chickens in their gardens - with proper red tape applied, of course - so that they can have their farm fresh eggs. Even planning a 'retirement house' for older unwanted chickens.

I like deviled eggs, or egg salad sandwich or an omelet when i do eat them. my hubby eats eggs over easy 3 times a week, so 6 eggs a week is what we use. I could go the rest of my life without eggs and not miss them at all. I agree with DawnTreader, it is the care of the chickens they talk about but i have also heard people say they taste better, thanks for the test Ginny, now we know not to spend that 4.00. I have also heard them say the eggs from cage free are healthier for us, but then THEY said don't eat them it will kill you, then THEY said do eat them, they are good for you, so what THEY said is not what i will listen to but I WILL listen to YOU, Ginny.MadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374840862168255424.post-30616393054417801092010-07-02T05:10:59.364-07:002010-07-02T05:10:59.364-07:00I never really heard the argument that you should ...I never really heard the argument that you should buy those eggs because they taste so much better; only that those hens have a better life, not being treated as just 'machines' to produce our food. If there is a choice where I shop I do usually buy free range ones. I don't eat eggs every day. Sometimes I eat them hard boiled, or I make an omelette, or use them in pies or cakes.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956409908791716009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374840862168255424.post-90327080090370483262010-07-02T00:26:17.379-07:002010-07-02T00:26:17.379-07:00I Ginny..Well, I do enjoy eggs but we live here on...I Ginny..Well, I do enjoy eggs but we live here on the islands - supermarket eggs have to be shipped over (regular eggs cost close to about $4.00 but can be found cheaper. Besides, we've noticed they don't taste the same (good like they used to? Is this because of corn or the lack? Grain has really gone up and there is the issue with ethanol? I actually did a google search over a month ago but didn't get anywhere? I'm watching my neighbors chickens beginning tomorrow and she just dropped off a few dozen too..as you say, organic- semi free. Anyway, back in the day we'd go out for breakfast more..but enjoyed it so much! (And they used regular). So comparatively speaking-now, I think neighbors eggs taste way better but maybe that's us? Yours may be fresher?

Right now, we only have them on Saturday mornings --when George fixes his fabulous omelets. He fixes me a veggie omelet with cheese and he has a meat-lovers omelet.. SO SO GOOD. <br /><br />But--I love dippin' eggs also... I want them sunny-side up or over-light --with a runny yellow that my toast can soak up.... YUM!!!!! <br /><br />I also love scrambled eggs and toast and bacon or sausage. When we go to the IHOP or the Shoney's or to Cracker Barrel, I love getting breakfast sometimes other than mornings.<br /><br />I see no difference in the quality of eggs --and I buy large eggs from Kroger's or Walmart --or Dollar General (wherever I can get them cheaper). I would never pay for organic eggs... <br /><br />BUT--they say that brown eggs are wonderful... I don't buy them --but might, if they were available around here, and for a good price. <br /><br />Have a great 4th of July.

Very large. They really didn't taste any different for me but the size was great and the cost, even better :)<br /><br />The eggs on the table in the photo...resurrection eggs, aren't they? <br /><br />:)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04693495698843336789noreply@blogger.com
