Trip to in-laws

[Anonymous]

I recently had scrambled egg sandwiches at my in-laws. They use eggland’s best or some other standard brand sold at Walmart… You know, white egg with a thin shell. The eggs were pale and looked and tasted watery. Is this a recent thing? I grew up on regular Safeway eggs and never felt this way. Have eggs changed?

Happy hens healthy eggs.
If they are free range and live in a good farmhouse you will get good eggs.
If they live in crowded spaces in huge farmhouse you get the kind of eggs you ate.

This question is so confusing to me.

Why is the subject line about a trip to the inlaws? Aren't you just asking about whether eggs have gotten worse? Do you not use eggs at home? What kind to you use?

The color of an egg yolk is impacted by pigments in a chicken's feed. Many companies put additives into the feed to make a more orange yolk. True free range chickens produce orange yolks due to the pigments in plants, flowers, and insects. At the end of the day, the color of the yolk has no impact on the nutritional value of the egg. I suspect that the method of cooking produced the "watery" eggs, NOT the fact that they came from Walmart.

Those are really sad eggs laid by sad, sickly hens. I only ever buy organic, free range eggs, and mostly try to buy from local farms. If I don't know where the eggs are coming from (restaurants/family/friends houses) I do not eat the eggs.

Why the f* did you feel the need to mention that this was at your in-laws? Are you judging your in-laws eggs? They're from Walmart and that's just sooooo low class? WTF is wrong with you, OP??? GROW UP.

It's the first thing I thought of because I was telling the story and that was the first line. I thought about changing it, but figured that title would draw people in to reply.

I eat vegetables and other food from Walmart. I haven't noticed a difference in those foods. The eggs were weird and watery and I have noticed this more than once.

It’s how they cooked them, not the type of egg.

Why mention your ails? Do you want us to say they are cheap or trashy or something?

If yo want nice eggs when you visit your in-laws, why don’t you take them some nice eggs or buy them when you get there. It’s rude to criticize someone who is generously hosting you.

This sounds like it was stolen from the sitcom Portlandia.
