It's National Egg Day, which was a folksy, honorary "holiday" . . . but now that eggs have become one of our most precious, valuable commodities, maybe it should be a federal holiday where we all get the day off!
Here's some egg-related fun from our friends at . . . the internet.
1. A poll asked, "When you buy eggs, do you generally buy white or brown eggs?" 67% of people said white eggs . . . 20% said brown.
2. A poll asked, "How do you prefer your eggs cooked?" 46% of people said scrambled . . . 25% said fried . . . 7% said hard-boiled . . . 6% said poached . . . 4% said soft-boiled.
3. A poll asked, "How do you usually crack an egg?" 57% of people said they crack eggs "on the edge of a bowl or pan." 23% said "on a flat countertop." And 10% said "some other way."
4. A poll asked, "Which came first: the chicken or the egg?" 44% of people said the chicken . . . 32% said the egg . . . and 24% are not sure.
5. This is a dark: Did you know that a good egg substitute in baking is . . . BLOOD. Eggs and blood have similar protein compositions, particularly with the "albumin" that gives both their coagulant properties.
So yeah, if egg prices start surging again, hit up a reputable butcher. The conversion is: One egg equals 65 grams of animal blood . . . or roughly four tablespoons.
