    people are just fussy

    But the consistency and flavour of the white and yolk are completely different. They just happen to be in the same shell.

    The silky smooth creamy luxurious flavoursome yolk and a blob of white rubbery nothingness.

    Did you call the Daily Mail?

    I was unemployed at the time. They probably would have turned the story into a hatchet job whereby I'm living in the lap of luxury on benefits.

    I get my eggs from the girl up the road who has free range chickens, we often get double yokers. Don't have boiled eggs very often so don't know what happens to them.

    Eggs are a bit revolting when you think about it, the white is a similar kind of membrane to what surrounds a human baby whilst it's in the womb.

    I still eat them though.. :)

    You can't have a tray of 36 Double Yolk eggs as an ordinary tray holds 30 and a tray for extra large Jumbos only holds 20. The extra
    large eggs are from older hens and the shell quality is poorer than the smaller eggs from pullets. The only way to guarantee Double Yolkers as opposed to Extra Large is to Candle them (Pass them Over a Light). and yes you can have a boiled Double Yolker. Doubles are no good for hatching, small or deformed chicks may result.
    I have seen a double yolk Goose Egg, now that is something for breakfast boiled or fried.

    this is why i got ungraded in maths.:blush:

    we all always had double yolked, you could tell them a mile off as they were massive but we just collected the eggs, someone else graded them i assume, i only saw the inside of the sheds and the docky room.
