Which came first, Rik or the egg. A short story - Page 1

All my life, I have eaten eggs. I eat them fried. This morning in the waffle house, I saw people eating them scrambled. I can only think how little they know about eggs. I challenge them and explain that because of my lifetime experience, I am the only true authority on eggs.

They should be eaten fried and it is incorrect to eat scrambled.

Every once in a while, some stupid person wishes to challenge my knowledge of eggs. This is when I pull my trump card. "You dummy, do you not know that in 1926, all eggs are brown". You wish to correct me, yet you eat eggs from a white shell. You know nothing.

And the most pathetic person of all is the one who tries to tell me that what matters about the egg is on the inside. I just shake my head at this point and walk away, because I realize they lack the intelligence to recognize a true authority on the egg.

I like mine over-easy. Fried, of course. The brown eggs bring back fond memories, of the good old days when white eggs were not mentioned at all for eating, but where instead stepped on and crushed, never to know their destiny of the frying pan.

Ecstasy in a shell= a double yoker!!!

 I had twins yesterday, Bob, and I threw them in my Ghirardelli brownies!

Rik, LOL, but so true. 

Jenni:

 You know it,s proper edicate that when teasing the fat guy with brownies you must send him a batch of said brownies!...

 The fat chick ate them all. Sorry. Fat is an attitude;-)

Chances are the scrambled eggs in a restaraunt are powdered eggs to boot.  If not powdered, so watered down that they are only about 25% egg, the rest liquid.  Now, little brag here... I have access to range free eggs...brown, green, white, speckled some large some small.  I don't use these eggs for baking anything but cookies.  That's what store bought eggs are for...except for cookies.  Funny, I never have trouble eating raw cookie dough with farm fresh eggs, only the store bought.  And I like my eggs fried, in bacon grease, over easy and I like to dip my toast in the yolk.  That's the only way to eat eggs.  I agree with Bob.  Love that little thrill one gets when you hit the jackpot with the double yolker. 

RIK, you have incorrect facts about there were no white eggs prior to 1926 and if you meant in America that's incorrect too. Leghorns were imported in 1853 to the US. Here is a link that supports this claim.

Here are a few more white egg layers that hobby breeders get their white eggs from.

Brown vs. White no difference. If you open a brown shell egg, look at the inside and you'll notice the egg shell is light cream or white in color.

Here is a good website for those who are interested in egg color.

As for your claim about fried eggs you are correct. I recall reading about 15 years ago
that scrambling the egg changes it in some way but I can't find that statement at the moment.

I'm not really a chicken expert but was a one time 4-H leader who had 18 years of being a poultry leader for a lot of kids.
