Caterers use loads of them in the UK too.
I know that there are loads of terrible things happening out there in the wider world, Terrorism, Global warming, Famine, Full - blown AIDS, but this is the most revolting fact I have learned so far this year and I have not actually been able to eat egg at all since learning this fact amongst others (from Jamie Oliver on some Chicken and Egg - stravaganza marathon programme. I’m not proud of this fact but it’s the truth.)
Why has it taken my whole life to learn about these creations?
Anyway, I simply include the product information for this product straight out of Frankensteins freezer, and inform you that many of those cheap egg sandwiches you have been scoffing most likely have included long eggs.
