    With the recent egg shortage, has anyone else noticed that eggs being imported from the UK are really substandard? Scrambled eggs are pure white and sick looking.

    Maybe just me.

    I suppose there is an egg shortage, with the chicken flu and the home baking. So small../weak eggs are being funnelled from other markets into the eggs on the shelf market.

    Just have a look next time you're in any shop (Tesco, Dunnes, Aldi, Lidl). Almost half of the eggs are now UK caged hens. Disgusting.

    Went out to the garden today and brought in 4 eggs. Will do the same tomorrow and the next day. Then one day I'll go out and bring in 8. All free range, all with nice yellow yokes.:)

    If a hen and a half, laid an egg and a half, in a day and a half. How long would it take one hen to lay one egg ten bob.

    Monaghan is by far the largest producer of eggs for ROI. It isn't in Northern Ireland or UK.

    As with alot of Irish food stuffs.
    Raw ingredients are imported.
    I e. beef brought in from Brazil or somewhere, = Brazilian beef.
    Cut in into steaks / mince / burgers etc = 100% Irish burgers etc.
    Bullsh1t labeling system.
