ward.kate Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 This may sound a really silly question, but my chickens have had quite a bit of garlic recently, I am now cooking some in the oven and can smell garlic! Can eggs taste different depending on what they have been eating? I would be very interested on what people think. Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I think they can certainly be tainted if you over do the garlic or give them onions to eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weathercoc Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Could I take advantage of the tainted egg? Perhaps I could direct the girls towards the herb bed, let them nibble away and use the eggs for "omelette aux fine herbes"? [Thinks] Would they eat a truffle??

Think they would have to eat quite a lot! As for trufles - delia recommends you pop a truffle and 2 eggs in an airtight box, put in the fridge for a few days and they will absorb the flavour of the truffle!
