    We buy Columbus eggs - no white stringy bits in those. Shells are abit thin tho.
    Yep, agree with this, these eggs are delicious and worth the money for a real treat. Don't buy them to bake with, though!!

    Eggs are a natural food made by a chicken:) they vary according to the season and age of the egg. Stringy bits are not yukky but part of the egg.

    A really freshly laid egg is a revelation - the white does not spread at all when it is broken and the whole thing seems to stand up. It is like this for several days so goodness know how old commercial eggs are!
