CannyCat Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Yolk Colour, Shell Colour, Size, Wheight, Shape. It's a shame they don't consider taste (although it would be a pain to then have to cook all the eggs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Exactly, you can predict the taste from rich egg colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 They will probably crack one open to look at the yolk colour and to assess how fresh the egg is a s well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 While discussing the eggs has anyone else noticed that they now stock organic mixed corn in the Omlet shop and Organic Cotton TShirts for the humans! (had to order some didn't I)!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 There should be a warning attatched to the shop- "enter here at your own risk.... all wallets may be severely punished" I try not to check out the shop too often, I always find something that I want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckles Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 thanks to all who sent in messages of luck etc... actually there were about a dozen entries! (in upton-by-Chester!) we did not win or even get placed Actually our eggs were the smallest but we DID enter Ito the spirit of the show and it was a lovely afternoon. You can't judge an egg by its shell! our children love scrambled eggs, home made ice cream, fairy cakes, birthday cakes so we can't be doin' too bad!
