  • I noticed that there was quite a range of prices when buying eggs so today, I thought it'd be interesting to see the difference between some of the cheapest, and some of the most expensive ones out there. I got the cheap ones from Iceland, £1.50 for 10, and compared them to Mabel Pearman's Burford Browns, £4.10 for 10, so let's see what the result was...

    It's no yoke when it comes to a quality egg.
    I'd rather spend the eggstra coin on good eggs with a hard and healthy shell, than have a cheap thin shelled egg break in my hand.
    Did you notice the sounds of the eggs as you cracked them. The eggspensive egg had a deeper cracking sound!
    Also the dearer egg spooky face with the dark orange mouth @ 2:30.
    I love my eggs fried in ghee ssu, poached in the microwave, scrambled like 2 US fighter jets and pressure cooked medium soft, 2:30 minutes.
    What came first. The chicken or the egg?

    The only difference between a free range egg and a cage hen egg is the price there both fed exactly the same food. Those posh eggs the hens are given different food to make the egg that colour that's all if you get eggs with very fragile shells it's because they have been given cheap feed. I used to know someone who worked in the office doing all the costings for one of the major egg suppliers he had worked there since leaving school. It was a few years ago now but he also said it costs them 30p a bird to get rid of the old hens when they have finished there egg laying careers and the major food manufacturer's in this country didn't want them it was more cost effective for them to get chicken from South America
