I have been eating supermarket eggs for years.

Last night, I stopped for gas at a country market, and they had brown eggs
for $3.25 a dozen. I fried two of them this morning.

I used to have chickens years ago, and I had forgotten what a real egg
tastes like.

Dark yellow, creamy yolk. Broke nicely, fried nicely. Tasted divine with
some sourdough toast.

Seriously, I had eliminated eggs from my diet because they had no taste.
REAL eggs do have taste, and need very little in the way of salt, pepper,
and other seasonings.

Buy real eggs if you can find them. And, they are much lower in cholesteral
than the mass produced variety.

I don't eat them as often (though Bob still does) because of the fat and
cholesterol. I've been using the EggBeaters, and only occasionally have
a fresh egg at breakfast. Which means that when I do have one, it's
quite the treat!

We have a particular egg producer that has the free range, organic eggs.
They cost us $5.50/doz. for jumbo brown eggs. We refuse to buy from
anyone else. You really can taste the difference.

Having been raised in the country and eating fresh eggs, I know what a
difference there is between the store bought white, Grade AA large and
what we had then and have now. That being said, I do buy the white eggs
at Easter for dying. Brown eggs look sort of weird, somewhat jaundiced
when you color them. Pastel "brown mustard" is not that appealing.
Unusual, yes -- but not appealing! ;-)

I know the difference too, but I'll eat store bought eggs before I'll pay
$5.50 a dozen! That's more than steak.

There's a local guy here who gives away his excess a couple of times a
month. I like those. They're free.

I was rather amazed when I moved out here (NorCal) how expensive things
like eggs, milk and bread are. The "cheap" eggs out here are expensive.
Safeway just had a coupon to buy a regular dozen eggs for $1.99! I was
used to paying .79¢-.99¢ per dozen in Oklahoma. It's not unusual to pay
$2.59-$3.59 for the plain old plain old here. If the box says "Cage
Free" or "Organic" it's definitely going to cost you more.

I don't mind paying extra to the little guy at our farmers market -- and
know that my product is good and the hens are being treated well.
Besides, with me not eating as many "real" eggs we barely go through a
dozen every week to 10 days.

Free is always good. ;-)

We used to keep Bantam's years ago and the taste of those little eggs
was wonderful. We also kept ducks, but gave most of the eggs away
because I was the only one in the family who liked them.

Now we buy free-range eggs from the supermarket. We pay a premium for
the privilege, but we know that the company that distributes them
(locally and internationally) has the highest standards and that the
eggs will be very fresh.

BTW - the "yellows" are more orange than yellow and the eggs taste
beautiful.

I am lucky to live in an area where I can buy farm fresh eggs. I rarely
buy them from the grocery store, and supermarket eggs never fail to
disappoint me.

I only eat 1 or 2 eggs per week, but I like to have them on hand for
baking and other dishes. My wife, OTOH, eats 2-3 eggs per day.

Brown eggs from the country market are the best, my mom would go WAY out
of her way to buy brown eggs from a farmer, always. I see the brown
eggs in the grocery, not sure they are the same, but boy, if you can
find them out in the country, they are worth the extra money.

That's not true. All chicken eggs contain the same cholesterol (and all
other nutritional values) relative to weight regardless how the chicken is
raised or fed. Egg flavor has only to do with freshnesss. Yolk color has to
do with colorant in their feed... yolk color has absolutely nothing to do
with nutritional value or taste. When you buy those expensive branded eggs
you are paying for advertizing, packaging, and ones own easily manipulated
mind. There is no way to make a chicken lay more or less nutritional eggs,
or have them taste differently... only the yolk color intensity can be
manipulated. The color of the egg shell indicates a different breed chicken
only, has no bearing on what's inside the egg. Oh, and egg shell
thickness/strength can also be manipulated to a slight degree.

Same here. A trip to the farm is worth the effort too. Most times they are
about $2.25 a dozen.

We do sometimes buy eggs at the supermarket of BJ's as some months we go
through quite a few. At the supermarket, eggs work out to be 18¢ each while
at BJ's they are 10¢ each.

If your wife was my wife, we'd have to own a chicken ranch.

4 days per dozen here just for me.

Maybe they just like eggs as much as I do.

3 fried eggs with toast or rice is a reasonable breakfast for me.
If I had a never-ending deviled egg machine, I could easily eat 6 for lunch
with a beer for extra fart power. <G>

After that many eggs, I'd shy away from them in the evening unless they were
boiled and sliced in a groovy salad.

Theoretically I could eat a dozen a day.

Realistically I eat 3.

Scrambled, poached, soft boiled, hard boiled or omelets. When you eat
that many eggs you have to vary to method.

I know for a _fact_ after years of raising and hatching poultry that
diet CAN affect egg nutrition! The hens diet is crucial to hatch rates.

Silkies are a good example. I used to breed japanese silkies in blue,
white, black and mixed colors. Most of my dead in shell fully developed
chicks were the black ones when I necropsied eggs that did not hatch.

Silkies are odd. They have a black pigment thru both their skin and
their bones, and that black pigment required Tyrosine. Due to black
feathering, most eggs were deficient in Tyrosine unless you SUPPLEMENTED
it in the hens diet. Chicks developed but died before hatching if you
did not supplement mixed colored or black hens with that amino acid.

Emus that were fed cattle feed instead of a proper layer feed also had a
high percentage of in shell chick deaths due to lack of nutrients.

I'd suggest you study animal husbandry instead of bogus studies
published by morons with an agenda.

Reasoning is that the yolk contains the bad stuff that raises your
cholesterol ergo, egg whites instead. I've been eating fake eggs for
more than 20 years now but, like Michael, I eat real eggs on occasion,
about twice a week to be exact.

It all depends upon which scientist is publishing this week as to
whether eggs harm you or not. I was diagnosed with coronary artery
disease and atherosclerosis more than twenty years ago and, after two
major heart attacks, a coronary bypass and multiple strokes I tend not
to listen too much to what the scientific types have to say, I just eat
what I think is better for me.

Eggbeaters are disgusting, a hundred times more TIAD than kosher shrimp.
It's cheaper to simply buy eggs, separate them, and throw the yolks away,
taste better too... If ya gotta have something yellow in the middle use a
melon baller to make a yolk outa cornmeal mush, I just made that up but I
bet it's good... hey, yoose hillybillys eat grits n' eggs alla time. If I
couldn't eat eggs I just wouldn't eat eggs, no biggie. Lotsa folks rave
about cilantro, but I can't eat it, may as well eat a bar of soap... I don't
miss cilantro, I eat parsley instead, there are plenty of other herbs.
There are plenty of other foods besides eggs... I mean you can eat a ham
sandwich without eggs.. a grilled hamsteak on a crusty roll can't be a bad
breakie. I've made pancakes without eggs, the way folks load em with syrup
no one will notice... and there are plenty of brands of butter flavored
oleo, and if you don't say no one notices. Anyways, unless you're actually
alergic to egg yolk I don't see any problem with having a couple whole eggs
once or twice a week... not eating eggs at all won't save you any
cholesterol, the body makes its own and the folks that don't eat eggs to
save on cholesterol ain't saving anything when they eat all those meats,
dairy and other everyday foods that contain cholesterol... a chicken/turkey
sammiche contains as much if not more cholesterol than an egg yolk. I think
folks take this cholesterol thing way too far. And that said I'm having a
big juicy porterhouse for dinner tonight... hey, I haven't had any eggs this
week.

I have some of the same genetic problems Michael. Father, grandfather,
great grandfather, two uncles, all died of heart disease, could have
been CAD, could have just been heart. I have one uncle left, he's 95
years old, the oldest man in my family in nine generations. I think
every artery and major vein has either been bypassed or stented on him
but he's still kicking. My Dad died at 71, grandfather at 58, ggfather
at 24, one uncle at 33, other made it to 76 and had so many surgeries on
his circulatory system he didn't survive the last one. My daughter has
had heart problems since she was in her thirties. Yeah, it runs in
families but I'm the only one in mine to ever have diabetes. Guess I'm
starting a new trend.

I still eat ice cream, no sugar added, fat-free, still tastes good but
only a few tablespoons at a time. I, too, used to eat a half gallon of
Blue Bell at a time, never more, never more quoth the raven.

All i have to say is: I love eggs.

I really do. Ever since I was a boy and we had Bantam chickens....
fresh eggs for breakfast every morning, just about. Or dinner,
whatever. I just love eggs.

Eventually I'll buy a house that will let me have chickens.

phaeton,

I couldn't stand eggs until I was in my early twenties.

The only way I would knowingly eat eggs was if they were hidden away in
pancake batter.

I'd collect eggs on the farm in summer but have nothing else to do with
them except for Halloweens.

Too bad for you. I love eggs, but I a allergic to them and can only eat
them in small doses. Scrambled, fried, poached, devilled, hard boiled,
soft boiled... I love them all, but due to discomfort from eating them,
I limit them to one at a time, only once or twice a week.

Dave,

That's a shame!!!

Food allergies are a cruel curse.

One of my 1st cousins was allergic to lots of foods from birth. He had a
miserable time as an infant until they tested him for food allergies.

I always wondered how aunt and uncle couldn't piece the puzzle together
sooner!

I'm allergic to most foods. They all make me shit.

But seriously, it would suck to have such an allergy. Luckily I have none
other than shellfish.

Good God! You used to eat like I did when I was 18.

TFM®,

Well, I think most of us remember you're not allergic to bologna
sandwiches!

I don't know, since I don't buy supermarket eggs. I can check the brands
next time I'm in the supermarket, though.

So, basically, they are ok if you can't taste them? <g>

Most egg allergies are allergies to egg whites. Many folks with mild
egg allergies can eat well separated yolks with no problems. Have you
tried yolks only?

Perhaps you could develop a platonic Jack Spratt relationship with one
of the seemingly ubiquitous yolkophobes.

That explains why you don't eat eggs. What is the appeal of the
artificially flavored and colored egg whites? I'm not giving you
crap. I really am curious.
