Somebody told me this once, and I've never forgotten it, because mostly I forget important stuff: the egg came first. Another critter, a not-quite-chicken, a chickensaurus, or something else laid an egg with a mutant embreyo in it, and that embreyo is what we know today as the chicken. Not the same chicken. |

26 Feb 06 - 08:45 PM (#1679860) Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: frogprince Little old lady, deperately poor, goes to little neighborhood grocery. They know her there, and always allow her to buy what she asks in whatever quantity. So it is that she sets out to return to her tiny apartment with a bag containing a bottle of ketchup and two eggs. As she passes an alley, a drunk staggers out, face turned downward, and bumps into her, knocking the bag from her hand. The bag and contents all shatter on the sidewalk. The drunk looks down at the remains, then up at the lady. "Don't cry, lady", he says; "It wouldn't have lived anyhow; it's eyes were too far apart." |

26 Feb 06 - 08:47 PM (#1679863) Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: bobad Peace It's (at least used to be - haven't been in a long time) on the corner of Mt. Royal and St. Urbain streets - a holdover from the days when the neighbourhood was a nexus of the Jewish community. Sunday mornings would see line-ups a block long for breakfast or brunch, the only meals served. On the menu - fresh squeezed orange juice, eggs (any way you like 'em) with a side of bacon or sausage and the best part - the world's best home fries. Also famous for their world renowned mishmash, which is an omelet filled with fried onions, peppers, salami and hot dogs. But the best was what I usually ordered, which was the Beauty's special - lox, cream cheese, sweet onion and tomato served on a toasted St. Viateur St. bagel - to die for. If you ever make it out this way I'll spring for a trip to Beauty's, you'll love it. |

27 Feb 06 - 08:34 AM (#1680166) Subject: RE: BS: Eggs From: Rapparee I had eggs scrambled with smoked salmon in a B&B outside of Dingle, County Kerry, Ireland (just before you turn off to Coliaste Ide, for those of you who might know the area). I try to have reindeer sausage whenever I'm North of 60 (or whenever it's available). REAL butter is the kind made on farms from fresh cream, not the sort made en masse in dairy factories -- salted or un, either one is good. Add to it a big pot of true Kona or Jamacia Blue Mountain, thich artery-clogging cream, fresh orange juice, some fresh fruit...perhaps freshly picked (and washed) blackberries with clotted cream.... |
