This is how Agatha's eggs arrived today: Each egg was tucked pointed side down under those little plugs you see. Under that 4 inch thick flat of foam was another layer of foam. Then the plugs went over the eggs and another layer of foam was on top. The box was packed very snuggly - it was hard to pull the foam out! Not a single crack in any of the 15 eggs. I was pleased as punch, never having ordered eggs before. The eggs were also very clean, and pretty uniform in size. I'm sorry your experience wasn't as good and you got scrambled eggs, Linda. I'll have to look up those OE Basques... never heard of those and they sound interesting!
