Eggs

Posted by LuchAAA on Wed Nov 20 01:45:10 2024

Eggs usually have a bright orange yolk.

They were yellow when I was a kid.

According to and old Irishman I know who was raised on a farm in Ireland, the yolks on eggs laid by the chickens on his family farm (free range) had a richer more orangey color than yolks on eggs laid by chickens in “factory” farms.

Ireland is known for high quality dairy. I notice a lot of Swiss Cheese is now made there too. Saw it at Wegman's and Whole Foods.

The butter in my refrigerator is from Ireland. I bought Organic Valley. One day I checked the expiration date and noticed it's from Ireland.

Regardless of country of origin, I'm starting to think all farmers, organic, conventional, free-range, cage-free, pasture-raised, etc.....load the feed with carotenoids to achieve the orange color.

Some admit to it on the carton.

That's how the yolks are with home-owned chickens too (orange). It's okay buying the chicks from Tractor Supply, in case anyone's wondering.

I'm boycotting Ireland. I'm sick of hearing about their psycho leaders.

The whole thing is strange as I liked the Irish growing up. But now, they went back to full nazi.

Ireland is a stunningly beautiful country. Too bad I can't ever go there, because Ireland is one of the most anti-Semitic countries in Europe.

Their leaders are all EU stooges now.

Former deputy prime minister Micheál Martin actually said a few years ago (he might have been prime minister at the time:
"Let me be perfectly clear on where Ireland stands: We want nothing to do with a backward-looking notion of sovereignty. We are fully committed to the principles of the European Union."
Bought and paid for by Deutschland.

I used to wonder why Ireland fought for sovereignty and then dumped now. Now they're just annoying as being nazi's too. Something that stupid people are.

If Ireland is so anti - Semitic, then explain Robert Briscoe and his son Ben, who achieved quite a noble status in Irish politics? Also recall the character of Leopold Bloom the protagonist in James Joyce’s novel “Ulysses."

Well the farm that my friend was referring to was more like a small homestead than a full fledged farm.

Equating Irish with nazis is beyond stupid.

I've never heard about the intense antisemitism that you describe In Ireland before.
That said, I'd like to go back to Ireland to where my ancestors grew up in Derry. Ireland is indeed beautiful as they say it is. Get a glimpse of its beauty every time I watch "The Quiet Man'

Not these days. And I say that as a former resident.
