To be classed as fresh, eggs need to be eaten less than three weeks after being layed; your dad would have struggled to have kept a hen coop complete with cluckers on board any ship that did not see land for weeks on end, unless of course he used powdered egg.Where the powdered chickens that gave birth to the powdered eggs came from has always baffled me but I thought that your mum may have heard of it because Scouseland was and in my opinion still is in the County Palatine of Lancashire.
