Bummer... Ever tried duck eggs?
My sister could not eat chicken eggs but did ok with duck. I saved them
for her when I had India Runners that laid a LOT of eggs.

And a special treat for her was Turkey eggs when I had a couple of
turkey hens. :-)

She could not stand emu eggs but mom and I liked to make breakfast tacos
out of those.

But I guess it's all moot due to the iron content eh? <sigh>

What about caviar? <G>

Right!

And if boiled, they get easier to peel the older they are.

i don't know that they get any easier after a week or so. but few of
us have to worry about getting eggs right out of the chicken.

Age those at room temp for about 3 days or so.

Or steam them instead of boiling.

I found that worked for me. :-)

Of course, that is the proper procedure. Works with soft boiled too! Goes
great with fresh rye bread. The real rye from a bakery, not the packaged
stuff.

Drool....

I still have some free range eggs in the 'frige from the place we spent
New Years at.

Now I've got a craving, and we need to use those eggs up. We got 8 dozen
and there are still 4 dozen left.

Now honestly, that is one item I've not tried deep frying are whole
eggs. :-)

I _will_ baste them in bacon fat however, but in the skillet.

Holy crow (so to speak) ... I didn't know what I'd do with
3 dozen eggs, so time ago. That is a lot of eggs.

Hm...

Sounds kinda like that chicken fried bacon we were talking about a bit
ago. Some things are too greasy even for me. <shudder>

But thanks anyway. ;-D

Well, it's taken us, what, 6 weeks to use up 4 dozen? :-) We got them on
January 1st from Paul. He has chickens. I don't any more.

Funny, we used to eat a lot of eggs! We'd go easily thru a dozen a week.

We love them but lately we just have not wanted as many. A 30 count flat
has been lasting a good 2 months most of the time but we've not wanted
these to go to waste.

When I really need to use up eggs, I'll hard boil about 2 dozen. Those
can easily get used up in a week. I'll take 3 with me to work for dinner
(and that's ALL that I will eat if I do that!) and dad will take 1/2 of
them and make deviled eggs. :-d

Eggs are 80 calories each and 5 grams of fat if you eat the yolk. 3 hard
boiled eggs equal one meal and for some reason, hard cooked eggs stuff
me for hours.

Quiche? Frittata? That's how I'd use 'em up.

Dad loves Omelets and fritattas. :-)
I just have to cook them more often!

Deviled eggs too.

Fresh laid eggs really do keep for a very long time and they are out in
the Hobart at a solid 40 degrees.

If you ever see them on a menu in a nice restaurant, try them. You
won't be sorry and you won't think "greasy".

When I was a teenager traveling through Spain I was served Scotch eggs
as a tapa and I wondered for years what they were called and where I
could find them again.

They're good! They serve them here in the "English" pubs. They
are great with cold dark ale.

Ok, I will if I ever see them. :-)

Guess I should try the chicken fried bacon too. <g> So long as I could
dip it in gravy...

Around here, they sell a breaded, deep fried dill pickle chips and
served them with ranch dressing. They are delicious but I only get them
once every few years when we eat at "Pat's Place" in New Braufels. <G>

I'll have to look for an English Pub in Austin.
They just opened an Irish Pub in San Marcos. :-)

It's called "Irish Pub and Texas Grub".
Haven't been there yet.

small club there wayyy long ago.

And was once the only one clothed at Hippy Hollow
on a Saturday afternoon.

Hee! I've heard/read of Hippie Hollow, but have never been there yet.
The county finally banned children from there. :-(

To the best of my knowledge, even for people with cholesterol issues, eggs
are no longer considered a cholesterol hazard. AFAIK, an egg a day is no
problem.

This info is a couple of years old and unevenly spread, I think.

Really. The first time I went, there was this couple in their 80s walking'
hand-in-hand, naked as the day they were born. The site is lovely, a
lake with huge hills all around, and expensive houses. Willie used to
live there. (He may still, he and I are not tight, lol!)

Austin is special. I liked it better when it was smaller, but that's how it
goes!

Is it eighth street? That is the street where the bars are? It has been a
longgg time.
