Thankfully we have a very short season that most candy can be shipped to us down here in hot Florida or I would be a lot heavier than I am.

Well, I'm still reconnoitering while you guys are goofing off philosophizing, eating chocolates and trying to figure out how to stuff your big, fat eggs into a small box. Come on troops, I gave you the heads up on the chicken trucks! And speaking of "comb overs", check out the Travel Channel. Andrew Zimmer was noshing cocks combs this very a.m.. It's all in the sauce. Now I'm dreaming of a dim sum with cock's combs and chicken feet. I have not had feet in five years. Why can't we engineer chickens that lay feet and combs along with eggs? That's the real question. Those of us who exist as part of the poultry underground can't depend on normative fare.

Hello Maypop hows the weather up in cleveland? Did you say feet and combs heard of eating feet but not combs?
Philosophizing LOL!

Cleveland,GA/Atlanta, GA(Zone 7b)

Hi, Harmony, I'm freezing my feathers off in Atlanta. Will be back in Cleveland this weekend. This is just not normal...twenties nights on and off for weeks with forties days. Ice pellets on the decks after four days of gloom and rain. If I had chickens in the midwest, we'd be talking frozen, starved poultry. I ask DH, "Is it Spring yet?" multiple times a day (and night). lol

Combs are awesome and less work than feet. I think the only edible part I've not had is testicles. Since I'm underground, if anyone has access to product or recipes, I'm "game" for the cause.

Daddy talked of haveing feet and heads at the church home comeings back in the day. Never seen a recipe for those and don't think i want to try them (Wimp)
Yea the Weather here is strange it's been cold since oct and we really didn't have the long fall like i love.
The frost was so thick this mornin it looked like it had snowed.

I love comein to the mountains when it snows it looks like a winter wonderland up there.

Apparently the British have recently changed their egg size designations so that they are more similar in name to the US. But not the sizes. The weights are in grams. Voila:

British Small is 53g and under/US Small is 42.5g (The US gives the weight in ounces by the dozen, so I converted)

British Medium is 53-63g/US Medium is 49.6g.

British Large is 63-73g/US Large is 56.7g.

British Very Large is 73g and up/US Extra Large is 63.8g.

The US also has two additional sizes: Jumbo--70.9g and Peewee--35.4g.

So a British Medium egg may be nearly as large as a US Extra Large. Shocking!

Edited to add EU regulations--same as Brits: http://www.foodlaw.rdg.ac.uk/news/eu-96-6.htm

Rosie says she needs her own egg category please. She laughs in the general direction of so called "jumbo" eggs.

US Rosie Size: 80 to 95 grams.

Rosie, like her human sponsor, is a bit of an overachiever:0)

Here the the response I got from the British feeder supplier "Good morning, I’m sorry we don’t have that kind of information. You would be better to contact a breeder of hens. A list of breeders is usually available in poultry magazines." I will now rush right out and pick up a local copy of a British poultry magazine (snort).



Oxford, NS(Zone 5b)

It is quite clearly a conspiracy.

Contact Battery Hen Welfare Trust in England. They ought to know. They rescue battery hens all the time, which are the ones laying eggs for the UK consumer market.

MayPopLaurel, gotta love that Andrew Zimmer and Anthony Bourdain (my personal fave)! By the way, how in the world did I miss the official unofficial title hand outs? I think I originally thought it was reserved only for those with an interest in hatching. That's what I get for being busy. Hippies aren't interested in titles anyways (laughing at own hipocrisy)! ; 0 )
