Does anyone have any experience with this technique? A friend showed me on online article that says applying butter to the shells of warm, freshly laid eggs -- which it says is an ancient Irish method -- helps solidify the shell, protects the inside stuff and imparts a bit of buttery flavor.

The article goes on to say this method can preserve the eggs for six months and that buttered eggs are available at some Irish markets.

How interesting! Who knows some people in Ireland we could ask? @EmmaRainboe you have folks living there right?
