  2. karl Rangnarsson from toronto, Canada writes: Why must it be high end? Hard boiled eggs and lumpfish roe ("caviar") is regular Scandinavian fare. Eggs have been given an unfairly bad reputation. Humans have eaten them for millenia without harm. Sad that this food needs celebrity status for a comeback.

    Maybe not. If the celebrity status helps raise the availability of farm fresh eggs, then I'm all for it. I grew up on a farm and the chickens were free ranging and ate mostly bugs (and other chicken eggs). Very good. Last summer when visiting my dad (who still lives there) he picked us some eggs and we cooked them right away. Still warm from the hen. Just scrambled... THAT is high-end!

    But I love eggs. Store bought or farm fresh. We have eggs many times a week in my house. They always go into stir fries and soup and we had spaghetti carbonara Monday for dinner. My two girls both like eggs for breakfast. The boiled egg, smoked salmon and rye breakfast is always a hit too (like the Scandinavian fair you mentioned above). Plus you can/t bake anything without eggs.

    It's bad enough I'm writing this from work, but now I'm hungry and have to go home and make eggs.

  5. B to the A to the R to the T from a better world is possible, Canada writes: Grinding their beaks and keeping chickens in battery cages so that you can eat their menstrual deposit, it's chicken periods after all, is cruel. Karma comes in the form of bad cholesterol.
  6. Iain's Opinion from Canada writes: In the army we had the choice of eggs at every meal so whats so new?
