White Eggs

EugenesAxe

Anyone noticed what was always brown eggs in the supermarket are now white?



Any transfer news…?

Don't be an egg racist.

Usually white ones went to catering places etc in bulk, brown to the public, but there's been a bit of shortage so it's been mixed up.

Had this last year, found out white eggs come from white hens, brown eggs from brown hens. The logic you’d expect a 5 year old to come up with, but seems it’s true.

I have a dream that my one day, we will live in a nation where eggs will not be judged by the color of their shell but by the taste of the yolk.

Waitrose do blue ones. They're nice.

Waitrose have stocked White eggs for years- We always buy them as they co-ordinate nicer with my kitchen unlike common old Brahn.

I tried finding out on some egg forums but they all go off at tangents with irrelevant arguments.

I vaguely remember something about Brits preferring brown eggs because they thought they were healthier.

Dark yolk is the holy grail, shell colour is irrelevant to me.
Although I prefer shells not covered in shite

I don't think it matters about the colour of the egg yolk. If it's a dark orange it just looks better than a light yellow yolk but taste wise I think they're about the same.

I beg to differ

Is that not actually the case?

Farmers use feed with various colouring agents (marigolds are one) to change the colour of the yolk.
