Eggs and Eggs

 Have fresh hens eggs been over commercialised?

Whether its grain fed, free range, cage laid, small or big size - it may be useful to hark back to basics. Some of us are still fortunate to get them from the chicken coop, while others only see them only im refrigerated displays.

What do we use the eggs for? We get them as omelettes or as runny add ons for burgers in cafes. We make Onsen eggs to accompany our Ramen or use them in making baked cakes. I love my soft boils to add to my savoury oats.

Eggs can be hard boiled and marinated to serve them inside steamed Baos or in South Indian curry puffs. Thai stir fries like Pad See Ew and Cantonese Wat Tan Hor Fun have yolk and whites lightly cooked over the noodles.

My photo shows 700 gram fresh eggs for a dozen costing AUD 3.33 per tray.
