I am a total egg addict. Seriously. This morning I skipped breakfast (deadline fog) and so for lunch I needed my fix. But when I pulled one of the two remaining eggs out of the carton, it felt furry. And when I turned it over I discovered it had a giant feather stuck to it. My eggs often have tiny feather remnants stuck to them, but nothing like this. It was a little bizarre. Who really needs to be reminded that their egg came out of a chicken’s butt?
So I crack open the egg and it has two yolks in it and that just freaked me out to no end. I didn’t know if could eat a set of twins. I cracked open my last egg – my only hope – and it also had two yolks in it. So now I’m convinced this poor overworked Sainsbury’s hen was trying to send me a message. Help me! How very upsetting.

Twins? The yolk doesn’t become a chicken. It’s the food the developing chick eats as it grows inside the egg!

I recall a few years ago when I was in Santorini, Greece I ordered an omelette for lunch. Whilst waiting patiently in the sunshine outside the taverna, out from the kitchen burst the chef, and then the waiter. Seemingly two of the eggs that had been broken for my omelette were double-yolkers. This caused untold excitement all round. A minor celebration ensued which I didn’t quite understand but was happy to be part of

David: Due to the limitations of this blogging platform, you cannot see the face I’m making at you right now.
Carol: Eggs on toast is pure bliss! And I actually wondered if a double-yoke was good luck. And I had two in a row! That must be good.
