Helen CzerskiEggs used to have a round end and a pointy end. I have been noticing, over the past few months, that increasingly I have to really look hard to see which is which. Is someone doing something weird to chickens that increases the symmetry?
Mick Mildenhall@helenczerski why do you need to know ?
⁂ Fish Id Wardrobe@Mickmildenhall @helenczerski For one thing, when peeling a hardboiled egg it's a lot easier if you start at the end with the gap (the round end).
@fishidwardrobe @helenczerski And, if you pierce the round end with a pin, the shell will not crack when put in boiling water !
@Mickmildenhall @helenczerski well, it reduces the chances, certainly...
@fishidwardrobe @helenczerski And, if you do have trouble identifying the rounded end, pop it in cold water and it will point upwardsish ! ( it's all in the air sack you see )
