Eggs-traordinary facts about eggs
"Organic, premium, vegetarian ... the variety of eggs today in the market can baffle you. We ask the experts to show you the sunny Eggs-traordinary facts about eggs:
Regular eggs
Standard eggs, or those found at any regular shop are usually procured from hens kept in small cages, where often, there’s not enough room for them to exercise. The hens are fed a high-protein diet containing antibiotics, hormones and other chemicals. High output and minimum maintenance costs of these birds means the prices of these eggs are lower than all the other varieties.
Brown vs White
All eggs, sorted in the simplest manner, are either white or brown. The colour is derived from the breed of hens: hens with white feathers and ear lobes lay white eggs and those with red feathers and ear lobes lay brown eggs. It is commonly believed that the browns are healthier than the white ones, but there’s hardly any nutritional difference. Brown eggs may be more expensive, but only because hens which lay them are larger and therefore need more food.
Barn–Laid
These eggs come from hens kept in large, strawcovered barns, separated into pens rather than small cages. Thus, the hens have more room to move around, carry out natural activities such as spreading their wings, and even socialise with other hens. All this because of the belief that happier and healthier hens produce better quality eggs!
Organic
Organic eggs refer to those coming from hens fed with a wholly organic grain feed, not containing any pesticides, herbicides or fertilisers. The birds are not fed with any antibiotics, hormones or meat by-products to fatten them up. Once the eggs are laid, no artificial colouring or vitamins are added, which accounts for paler colour of the yolk. Organic eggs taste different than the regular variety, are more expensive and are healthier". (more)

At the New York World's Fair, 1964
Designed by Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen Associates, the pavilion created the effect of a covered garden, with all exhibits in the open beneath a grove of 10 m high, man-made steel trees. The pavilion was divided into six sections: The "Information Machine," a 27 m high main theater with multiple screen projection; pentagon theaters, where puppet-like devices explained the workings of data processing systems; computer applications area; probability machine; scholar's walk; and a 400 m2 administration building.
FROM a distance, it looks like the storage tank for the Festival of Gas. But as New York World’s Fair visitors draw nearer, they find themselves in a people trap-IBM’s wonderfully zany exhibit pavilion, featuring the Information Machine.

What Happens in China ?
The egg, found by chef Wang of at his restaurant in Anyang city, Henan province, China , is normal size, but has a tail that is 3 cm long. It is not known why the egg has the tail reports Dahe Daily. Wang sayed he wanted to hatch the egg and see what will come out. No news ...
The hen is owned by Huang Yazhou, a railway worker from Huaibei city, Anhui province, reports Chinanews.com.

When he checked, Huang found the hen had laid a spoon-shaped egg, 8.5 centimeters long and 35 grammes in weight. Huang said he had never seen an egg like it before in his life.

Gemas coloridas
En faisant cuire le blanc de l'œuf afin qu'il durcisse, et le jaune restant liquide il suffit de l'aspirer, pour ensuite le remplacer par autre chose.
Imaginez la surprise des invités lorsqu'ils couperont l'œuf et découvriront un goût ou une couleur différente. Sur les photos ce sont les jaunes d'œufs colorés, j'en ai fait avec du fromage et vais essayé aussi d'y incorporer du gâteau. (Ici et Video)
