Yum yum. I love offal - even knowing what lamb's fries are.
I generally buy my eggs at Sainsburys. I buy free-range and either large or very large. Medium look very small compared to them and I don't know what "ordinary" must be like but I guess they're tiny.
When I was growing up we kept hens. For a while one of my brothers kept hens in battery cages but it didn't last long as it was too cruel and he hated it so they went back to their free-range life. We had a big hen-run and my dad kept a pile of rotting wood in one corner of the run. Every couple of weeks he turned the pile over and the hens used to run like the clappers to eat the creepy-crawlies, worms, spiders etc. We had quite a lot of customers for the eggs but, for a number of years, I could
not be persuaded to eat them.
We never ate the hens either. How can you eat something that has run over your feet and clucked at you when you dished out the hen-food?
