SC - RE: Finally going to cook something period!!

[Marian Deborah Rosenberg]

Johann von Metten, poultrier, responds:
 I have been studing poultry, eggs and such for almost 10years, I've 
never heard this before the last year.  In nearly every period 
cookbook I've come across there is the greatest emphasis laid 
on the freshest eggs possible!! The only exceptions are for 
some pickled egg recipes, and some oriental recipes asking for 
embreyonic eggs. 
Supposedly some NUTS think that fertilized eggs are healthy/immoral/ 
etc... because they might contain embreyos!! Nonsense!! Even in ferile 
eggs, nature has evolved so that an embreyo will not even form unless 
the egg has been held at 100degrees F for 24 to 36 hours. This is what 
gives the hen the ability to lay a large clutch and still have them 
hatch all together.

In my book, Fresh is Best!! From my own birds, the best of all!!
