you ever get a fishy egg?
― frederik b. godt (jim in vancouver), Friday, 31 January 2020 18:26 (four years ago) link
I regularly eat eggs past the sell by date, since I don’t go through them fast enough, and I think this has happened to me maybe once.
― o. nate, Friday, 31 January 2020 18:31 (four years ago) link
I never even look at the sell by date.

i finish my eggs fairly quickly so i never have any that are past their sell by date but i do just get the occasional fishy one anyway

theory: eggs in canada are not as good as they are in dear old blighty
i feel like my mom would have the same carton of eggs in the fridge for over a month. It was always fine. I go through eggs pretty fast though. I think I had an egg problem at one point where I was eating like 5 a day.

what does fishy mean? it smells?
― Yerac, Friday, 31 January 2020 18:34 (four years ago) link
I've googled the phenomenon to confirm I'm not crazy:
Interestingly, in some hens that lay brown eggs, eating too much canola or rapeseed meal can cause a fishy smell in the eggs . Not all hens are affected by the process that causes the smell. The smell is caused by the accumulation of trimethylamine (TMA) in the yolk.
it'll be the canola meal

oh weird. i have never noticed this and I am usually really annoyingly sensitive to smells. I usually just get surprised by the super pale yolks of eggs in the US.

yeah you would notice if you had one of these things. the smell is noticeable, but the taste is stronger. had a bad bite of shakshuka a couple weeks ago, ruined my whole dinner

I eat eggs 4/5 days out of 7 I think. I don't always cook them myself - there's nothing quite like a quick hungover egg mayo on the way to work. But I do cook them a lot and I've never really seen a bad one. Sometimes there's a bit of red, but that's not what we're talking about, right?
Eggs is good. I think we've rolled back into eggs are healthy again in the UK at least.

yeah even when i was eating 5 eggs a day my cholesterol/bloodwork was insanely good. eggs are such a perfect food.

I grew up in the country and when I was very young we had some chickens so occasionally there would be a bad egg (I'm guessing we sometimes waited too long before collecting them). I also have a childhood memory of my mom cracking open an egg and there being a dead chick in it, which seems gross in retrospect, but I guess when you're 6 years old or whatever nothing really seems that weird or abnormal.

some weird pedestrian inclusions on the list (spam, marmite, tartar?)
My mom used to make chicken feet a lot. I would come downstairs for breakfast and open the pot on the stove and see a bunch of chicken feet sticking up. I would go back to bed.

this has now happened to me, 2020 continues to deliver
― mark s, Tuesday, 21 July 2020 09:04 (three years ago) link
I get my eggs/milk from a local dairy farm now delivered to the doorstep by a nightcreep milkman, he usually turns up at 2-3 am. But the eggs are consistently a+ I'm not joking they are like the ones you see on cooking programs that always seem impossibly golden compared to supermarket ones.
