OK, eggs, cheese and butter. Just need some bread and a slice or two of bacon and you have a great breakfast sandwich.

Refrigerate eggs?

According to the Guinness Book of Records, the record for throwing a fresh egg without breaking it is 317 feet, 10 inches.

In 2003, an estimated 87.2 billion eggs were produced in the U.S., with about 85 percent of them destined for human consumption

USDA Economic Research Service.

U.S. per capital consumption of eggs in 2003 was the equivalent of 254 eggs, an increase of 19 eggs per person from 1990. (USDA Economic Research Service).

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) reports that something less than 1/2% of all foodborne illness is related to eggs. According to the USDA, only one egg in 20,000 might be contaminated with Salmonella. Based on the USDA statistics, that means that the average person might eat a contaminated egg once in 84 years.

When duck eggs are boiled, the white turns bluish and the yolk turns a reddish orange.

Emu eggs range from medium to very dark green in color and weigh about 3/4 pound. The eggs are mostly yolk, and are very mild in flavor.

Eggs will age more in one day at room temperature than in one week in the refrigerator.

The breed of hen determines the color of the shell. Breeds with white feathers and ear lobes lay white eggs; breeds with red feathers and ear lobes lay brown eggs.

USDA grading system for eggs:

Grade AA The shell is clean, normal-shaped and unbroken; when first broken, the eggs spread remains compact; has a clear, thick albumen with prominent chalazae and a firm, centered yolk.

Grade A The shell is clean, normal-shaped and unbroken; when first broken, the egg spreads slightly; has a clear, reasonably firm albumen with prominent chalazae and a firm, fairly high yolk.

Grade B The shell may be slightly stained or misshapened; when first broken the egg spreads over a wide area; has a clear, watery albumen and an enlarged, flattened yolk.
