1. Eggy Bread (despite being very very English my mum clearly had delusions of grandeur hence the French Toast nonsense)
2. Scrambled
3. Fried
4. Omelette
5. Soft boiled with soldiers but NO MARMITE.
6. Poached
7. Hard boiled. Yuck. Specially if the bit round the yolk is going black.
8. Coddled as I don't know what this involves but it sounds suspicious.

Devilled eggs are also yummy. Scotch eggs, however, are not.

this headline would describe on eday in my high school time when I was at the Seitz's house. A tiny chicken in the egg. Its an asian delicacy apparently.

(There was a photo in the last-but-one issue of the Fortean Times, of a McN*gget which contained a whole golden-battered chicken- HEAD, inc. comb. The lucky little purchaser was offered a whole free Happy Meal in generous recompense, but had unaccountably, and very suddenly, lost her appetite...)

Medium eggs are kinder eggs
I never thought about egg size in connection with animal welfare before.

This guy is representing free-range producers and I'm guessing that the largest sizes of egg can only be reliably produced through more intensive, battery-type farming, so it's a bit of jockeying for position with those guys and just boils down to marketing crap. The 'kinder' argument is totally bogus. I suppose it *is* kinder relatively speaking, but free-range chickens are still routinely debeaked with no pain relief, they're still bred to produce up to an egg a day (wild hens would ovulate only about 20 times a year) and they're all still shipped off to slaughter once the overall productivity of the flock falls. It's not really an industry where kindness is of much consequence.

Plus don't forget the baby male chicks.

If it's kinder relatively speaking, that's worth taking into account, isn't it?

I just made the best scrambled eggs I've ever made. Cracking them straight into the pan is definitely the way to go. Also absolutely shitloads of butter doesn't hurt.

Yeah, but you're talking about a little marketable ripple of kindness on an ocean of couldn't-care-less.
