Everyone does eat eggs though.

Eggs? Did someone say eggs? Milk, eggs and strawberries are the 3 things I struggle with here.

Did you know that when you crack an egg in the pan if its fresh and of a high quality the yolk sits proudly (nice and round) in a central location surrounded by a thick egg white. A crap quality egg will have a flat yolk and the white is thinner resulting in a wider spread.

The difference in taste between egg qualities here is HUGE. Ho Hum…..

You can have chickens here in your garden and get fresh eggs. I did it for ages, feed them scraps and feed and they were great.

I had chickens in Scotland. Fun to have around, incredibly easy to keep and the eggs were brilliant. You need to have a patch of ground you don't care about looking good though.

and here you don't have to worry about badgers or foxes eating them, just the increase in rat populations and snakes, maybe

Eggs? Farmer Brown's are the best I've tried. Though never had a double yolker (unlike my mum who had 3 out of the same box and another woman who had 6 double yolkers out of the same box!)

anyone know where you can get fresh duck eggs here?

Burbage · Post by **Burbage** » 5th Feb, '10, 12:47

From a duck?

You can't. Vendors can no longer sell duck eggs because of bird flu - I asked several egg sellers in my local market.

(I just don't understand why chicken eggs are OK. Aren't they birds too?)

oh well no duck eggs unless I want to try those disgusting looking preserved ones

The salted duck eggs are very good, but a little too salty sometimes (but you wouldn't know until you gag from the saltiness. It's like egg-roulette)

I forgot to buy Greenfields and my buidling's cafeteria only has Magnolia milk. Bleurgh. They shouldn't call it milk at all. It's disgusting.

slinky · Post by **slinky** » 18th Nov, '11, 11:36

We went off Pura a while back -- noticed it had a rather manure-ish smell to it

So, Greenfields is the one and only choice now. Always a pain when there is no skim available though and if I'm in desperate need of milk in that case, I'll spend the $$$ on Horizon organic.

Tas · Post by **Tas** » 18th Nov, '11, 11:52

is that Magnolia the one that tasted like sugared plastic water with calcium based white dye?

Probably. A lot of the Asian milk brands add 'flavor' (i.e. sugar) to their milk

nev · Post by **nev** » 18th Nov, '11, 15:44

The carton I bought was labeled "fresh milk", and although it was not sugared, it tasted nothing like milk. Plastic water with dye is right.

Slinky, try Meiji if Greenfields is not available. It's a good substitute.

When I was in Japan, I bought Meiji because that's the only brand I recognized. Then my work colleague told me about Oishii Gyunyu (literally, delicious cow's milk)- it was indeed delicious, better than Meiji. I think Meidi-ya at Liang Court has it but it's stupidly priced, so perhaps not an option if you go through cartons and cartons a week.

Yep I am 100% Meiji supporter and Greenfields when I see it. Can drink both of those by the glass anything else just doesn't cut it for me
