johnandkymberley Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I read on a post somewhere yesterday about going out and eating an egg somewhere else and having guilty feelings of betraying your own girls hard work and laying!!!! we went to wetherspoons after going to view our wedding venue and we had a breakfast, i looked at the eggs and i thought, NOOOO they dont look as good as our girls eggs! and the taste, obviously no where near as tasty as the first eggs our girls laid yesterday. i felt ashamed to be betraying our girls and i dont think i will be doing that again if i cannot help it!! we had one lay an egg earlier and kymberley wrapped it in a ribbon and it looked really cute and she gave it to a friend! our first egg given away and i reckon it will be a tasty one! anyone else feel like this? not to this extreme i presume but similiar feelings?

Chucky Mama Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I avoid eating eggs when I am out, particularly fried, they look so anaemic, even the free range ones compared to mine.I had a moment yesterday when I nicked a lovely crisp chicken wing from the chicken (obviously) that I had just taken out of the oven. I heard a noise and turned around to see Trudie on of our chucks looking at me - someone had left the back door open. I felt really bad Those accusing eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I don't feel guilty eating eggs when I go out, granted they don't taste as good. What does give me the hump is when my girls stop laying and I have to buy eggs from the supermarket. Even organic free range supermarket eggs taste inferior. In an attempt to combat this situation I've just bought myself seven new Araucanas. Hopefully plenty of eggs and a pretty blue colour to boot.

Olly Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 ooh lovely - you're pretty sure to get blue eggs out of at least some of them! I agree - over the winter I had no eggs AT ALL from about November, when the girls got their lovely new walk-in run, right through to February. Oh, the shame of buying eggs, and they are definitely not as nice. The good thing about Wetherspoons is that at least they use F/R eggs. I never eat chicken in restaurants or buy a chicken sandwich because I know it won't be free range, and yes I too have had that guilty moment as I poked the carcase I was boiling for stock, and turned round and saw a hen glaring at me from the back door!

whoopsie Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 You can eat at a LEON chain - they use all free range eggs and chicken! I think all chicken from M&S is free range too - including the sandwiches. Pret are doing free range chicken sandwiches too. Hurrah for customer power!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
