Are Expensive Eggs Worth It?

- The variety of eggs you can buy in the UK is truly staggering, as are the different ranges and types. But what do all these things mean?
Inspired by Ethan Chlebowksi's recent video on the subject I decided to look into egg production. The US and UK/EU legislation around egg rearing and labelling has a lot of differences so I was keen to understand what the UK rules are. More importantly, how do any of these affect the taste?

Interesting video! Knowing a little more about organic eggs has me tempted to try them over our usual free range and see if we can notice a difference.
Add a box to your next shopping basket. See what you think. I really think there's almost no taste difference.
very informative thanks lad!
Glad you enjoyed - what eggs do you buy?
this is quite informative!
Glad you enjoyed it! What type of eggs do you buy?
@@BigSpud I'm neither British nor American and I usually buy the regular local market eggs. I generally avoid the fancy imported stuff as it is expensive.
@@RYN988 mind me asking which country? Always interesting to hear.
@@BigSpud Saudi Arabia :)
Oh Gary I so agree with you! It’s all nonsense! yes in an ideal world yes free range is a must. Have you indeed read and seen Michel Roux (Dad) his cookery book on eggs. Just eggs that’s all on how to work and use, cook with them. All vey interesting. It’s a good inch thick book!
I have a couple of his books and his 'Sauces' is outstanding. I will look out for the egg one.
PS. "Michel Roux Dad" gave me a big laugh, I enjoyed that!
Avian flu is going to play a big part in the availability of free range and organic eggs in the years to come. A number of farmers who had to move their free range flocks indoors during the avian flu outbreaks are not going back to free range because of the continuing risks posed by that disease.
We kept a few chickens to keep us in eggs (i live in the country) but due to new regulations we decided to get rid of them. We didnt keep enough to justify the costs.
I didn't imply to be flippant about avian flu being 'over' more that the supply chain has settled down, certainly as far as supermarkets are concerned.
All households in my part of Essex got a letter from the government saying any chickens had to be moved indoors indefinitely. We have a lot of foxes in my neighbourhood so it wouldn't be a good idea anyway.
@@BigSpud I'm pleased that the supply chain has settled down buddy as for the first time in 20 years I'm having to buy eggs from a shop.
@@Phil_Tutty I'm sure it will settle down soon and you can RULE the ROOST again.
