Anyone have picky egg eaters in their house that only eat store eggs?

[jvls1942]

as long as you do not have to buy the store bought eggs forget it..

take all of your fresh eggs and sell them to people who really want them..

I go to a restaurant regularly and take my eggs along. I just sit down and announce that I have eggs in the car.. It doesn't matter how many I have.. I sell them all immediately.. even the restaurant owner's wife buys my eggs for her own use at her home.. I have even had people give me more $ than I am asking for them ..

quit trying to pressure and trick your inlaws.. the more you push, the more they will resist..

I actually have the exact opposite problem...

when we go out for breakfast my kids wont eat the eggs..unless they know they are "moms eggs"...

i was at a friends place for the night (girls night out)..and i brought my DD the next morning we made a big breakfast and my DD refused to eat breakfast cause they were store bought eggs and she was not shy about tellin my friend about it either..

we went to a restaurant and the server asked how my DS would like his eggs he said he wont eat them so save 'em for someone who does not know the difference....


I thought it was in their head so one time i was at my moms and i made eggs and told them that i brought them to gramdmas house...my dd took one bite and said "mom you lied"

they have gotten a lot better about not being rude about it..they were not trying to be rude they didnt know how to express their feelings without sounding rude...i guess thats where the saying came from outta the mouths of babes...lol

She does know where all eggs come from. She just thinks it's creepy from our pets. I do not buy eggs. She just doesn't eat eggs. She will eat them cooked in other things

People can be so stupid. I say they don't DESERVE the good home-grown eggs.

That's funny! When I cook my four daughters their eggs in the morning I always say "from the chickens butt to your lips" as I put the plate down.

They usually grimace at me but then eat like there's no tomorrow...

Ditto........no one in my house wants to even touch a store bought egg. They all say that they don't have any flavor after eating home grown eggs.

I can not get past the denseness in some persons...personally, I am grateful to be able to have my hens, feed them well and enjoy the eggs they give me... there are so many on this earth who have nothing and who are hungry...we take an awful lot for granted sometimes...those picky eaters have never been truly hungry...shame on them...recently I asked a kid where milk comes from and he said Publix, a grocery chain in the SE...cow never entered his reality...shaking head, rolling eyes, and my ears are bleeding...gonna go have some scrambled...I got seven eggs yesterday, two white, two green and three brown...very attractive in their carton and will be even more so on my plate...and two of them will go in to the sugar cookies I am baking this afternoon...

Neither here nor there. just a funny story that happened to me.

about a year ago my wife got a free dozen eggs from the grocery store , for some coupon or whatever..

I decided to mix up some pancakes. my specialty..

anyhow I put the milk in the bowl and cracked in two eggs. then I began to whisk them. I kept whisking and plunging the whisk into the milk until my wife asked me what I was doing? I said I was trying to break the yolks.. she began laughing at me and said, you broke them five minutes ago !!

I was waiting for the milk to turn yellow from the yolks, but it was never going to happen with those pale yolked store bought eggs..

My FIL makes sure to tell me often how gross farm fresh eggs are. Someone at his office gave him a dozen once, and he tried to have some for breakfast, and he opened the carton and *gasp* the shells WERE NOT WHITE! There were some green ones, blue ones, and brown ones. He thought that was strange and abnormal. Then he cracked some eggs in his skillet, and they were thick with orange yolks, and they tasted so bad he couldn't eat them.

He also told me that gardening is a huge waste of money and time when you could just go to the store and purchase conventional veggies in half an hour probably for cheaper, and my DH has been totally brainwashed by his parents--it's taking me so much effort to slowly convince him of how wonderful it is to have your own fresh (orange yolked, green) eggs and fruits and veggies picked an hour before supper warm from the sun. He tried one of my blackberries from the bush last year, finally, and then it was like a lightbulb went off. Hah.
