The humble egg.
A fine natural product of nature, capable of many things.

But many seem to be programmed into putting "eggs" on a shopping list, and of course just buy hens eggs.

I have a resident duck, who produces many fine eggs, which are appreciated, and the kids have taken to a soft-boiled one, or a duck ommelette etc.

On my travels, I have had turtle eggs, goose eggs, fish eggs, and some odd ones that may of been snake or reptilian.

But no.
We are stuck with supermarket hens jobbies, as they are the only ones that sell, and a huge industry as providers.
Fed on stuff that turns the yolk bright yellow.

Have you sourced and tried different eggs ?
Like meat, the flavours are totally different, and often better, depending on the critter that produced them.

Caviar, anyone ?

Chicken eggs are the least expensive eggs to produce in quantity.
The fast rate at which the chickens grow and begin to produce eggs also helps. The fact that we eat a lot of chicken helps in the fact that the males can be raised for food and the females raised for eggs.
Since most people do not raise their own poultry for meat or eggs leaves us purchasing what is most widely available.
Also for some reason there is a "mystique" about brown eggs, since they are not widely available and if they are available some people think they are healthier. They are no healthier than white eggs. They just come from a different breed of chicken. The reason they are not as available is they are harder to candle and some people think they appear dirtier than white eggs.
