Thread: Eggs

Always used to keep them in the fridge in America.
But we never do here. I guess it's a Thai thing.
Never had one go bad.
We just leave them out on the countertop in a basket.
Love the eggs here.

^ Apologies, I should have known you live in a studio flat/rabbit hutch.

All in one basket

Next dumb question?

Excuse me, but a "pantry" is a walk in room where food and ancillary supplies, including crockery and linen are stored. A "cupboard" was indeed a place were cups were stored.

Question was asked who the hell has a "pantry" - a walk in room. Not who has a pair of cupboards.

Perhaps reading was the problem. I HAVE TWO.

Rather your writing is the problem. No mortal, lesser or otherwise would confuse a "pantry" with a "cupboard".

I am pleased for you that you have two pantries, they indicate a sizable and solid older house, as few houses nowadays, if indeed any, are built with even one pantry.

Your guess on my accomodation is a bit off the mark, and not particularly germaine.

My rabbit lived in a hutch.
He didn't keep any eggs.
He's dead now.
Maybe there's a lesson there about not keeping eggs.

Is one of them called the scullery and do you have the required maid?

Almost everything goes in the fridge

I put a chicken in the fridge , Ahh it died ,

I balance them on my feet like an emperor penguin.

That's where Smeg puts his girfriends when they are dead.

Anyway your chicken might be OK. He might just be hibernating. Bung him in the microwave on low power for 30 seconds and see if he livens up.

in the fridge, but the 2 chickens at the bottom of the garden lay a couple a day, so sometimes straight in the poacher, especially sat mornings about 10 am when theyve just laid...........mmmmmmmmmmmmm

fuk me, why aint this been MKPed yet

^ because its an egg-citing thread.

Why would I call it a pantry if it was a scullery?

Selective reading again?

I do. It stays at a fairly even temperature whatever the season.
Great for storing rice, flour, smoked meat, salami and eggs.

Egg box???

You are lucky. My pantry is probably 35+ degrees right now. Canned goods, rice, pasta, potatoes, onions, and garlic. Roasted chili in bottles and other dry spices. But if salami or eggs were there we might have a Portuguese breakfast when we woke up. I am going to take the garlic butter for our dinner out of the fridge now. In 30 minutes only it will be back to a soft butter consistency. Will admit to having always kept eggs in the fridge. Its all I know.

From following more on the thread, the answer is pretty nearly every fucking body it seems.

Except you and me apparently!






... personally I am going down stairs now to give the Butler a right good clip round the ear....

best to keep eggs at room temp, eggs are porous, and any smells in fridge well effect the taste of egg. buy only what you need for a couple of days

40 baht for ten and I try and keep 'em in the fridge but my Thai relatives don't understand this concept. They think refrigerating things ruins the texture. Calls of "Just wait 5 fucking minutes" are never heeded.

There doesn't seem to be any real point to eggs.

Apart from diverting attention away from where one keeps ones milk.

Other than a fryup I agree.

Wife still coming to terms with the word "austerity", but I have been on ducks eggs for some weeks now, (cheaper than chickens) and apparently they live in the big tall metal box shaped appliance in the kitchen.
Ducks eggs, that is one heck of a big orange yolk!, and the taste of scrambled is strange too. Might have to look at what Gordon or Delia says.
