stoice Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Glad my girls are looking after me on the egg front and that I bake my own cakes too. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12133402 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 It's beyond me why we need to import eggs anyway Exactly This has really hit the fan now. According to certain newspapers they are ditching food off the shelves. It appears to be in supermarket own brand items like party cakes and quiche.

The Dogmother Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 It's beyond me why we need to import eggs anyway Exactly! Same goes with meat, we export a lot of our own and then buy in meat from places like NZ - go figure.... But that's another rant entirely! Imported, battery produced, foreign eggs are cheaper as an ingredient than our UK eggs - so much for scruples then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 It appears to have been used by Samworth brothers in their cornwall factory. Tesco and Morrisons cakes and quiche mainly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Have to say it makes sense to me to have your own hens - I rarely buy cake except occ for birthday parties when sons want a Man U (boo hiss) cake which is beyond my capabilites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 This was the main reason i gave my family for getting my own chickens. My DD,SIL got their chickens a few weeks after me and they haven't bought eggs for months. DD even started baking before christmas using her own eggs. I just strongly objected to the drugs that are fed to the poultry whose eggs i was eating... .....as an arthritic OA/RA /FM,I take enough drugs..i don't want more in my food....... ......And my eggs are just fab...
