amazing eggs - 06:52 PM
(filed under 'green living')
audrey's been getting me some fresh eggs from the chooks that live in the garden of one the houses they own & rent out. her tenants don't eat eggs, but have four chooks & get four eggs a day.
they're the most amazing eggs i've ever eaten. probably more so than the eggs we used to get from our own chooks way back when we used to live in jimboomba.
they roam the lush garden & eat as many bugs, snails & vegetable scraps as they like. no chook pellets for this lot!
when i've cooked with store-bought eggs—even organic ones—the eggs have usually had nice yellow yolks (most likely made to look yellow artificially, somehow), but i've never seen any like these. the yolks are almost a flourescent orange.
with store-bought eggs, once i'd mixed the egg into whatever i was making, i couldn't tell it was in there. it was almost like the yellow was a clear yellow. with these ones, if i make a batter with them, the batter is yellow. these yolks have real substance.
some store-bought eggs i'd used for plain fried or scrambled eggs on toast, i could hardly tell there was egg on there except for that fact that i could see it on top. they had no taste whatsoever. i'm not exaggerating, either. these ones you can taste the eggs & taste the richness of them.
they're awesome.
