Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

So Nanny disapproves of the resurrection of an old advert for eggs, with Tony Hancock and Patricia Hayes. Nanny says too many eggs is a bad idea.

"It's not part of a balanced diet dear," says Nanny, "One egg good, two eggs bad, dear." Nanny consigns the eggs to the bin along with the full-cream milk, a nice fatty chop and a large glass of wine.

I remember the advert the first time round and I don't think it made people eat too many eggs, just appreciate the nutritional value - or have a laugh at Hancock.

So, sorry Nanny, I think you're a very silly old woman and..................OK Nanny, I'll go and stand in the corner......... :(

I was really reckless the other day and had 2; poached,on toast ! Even better with marmite on the toast but has run out !:eek:

I eat about 7 or 8 a week - my blood pressure is normal (doc tested)
In winter I have Readybrek breakfasts but at other times a scrambled egg(sometimes with parmesan added) together with a slice of homemade wholemeal bread with real butter is a delicious brunch that keeps me going 'til an (early) teatime. I bake my own cookies (which is the 1 over the7)
I have seen that ad on tv today- hilarious - I dont remember seeing it at the time it was being used. Hancock -comic genius -tragically taken from us by depression.

Brunch does sound good ... trade you for some Bambiburgers.

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

i love eggs mainley duck eggs got a new supplier now 50p for half dozen there great

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

Lovely ---I used to make them -I had an eccentric (mental health unstable) husband who would not eat meat other than wild meat. Three times a year I got a deer carcass delivered into the garage (head off and guts out), got a butcher to quarter it for me (for a small fee) so that the pieces were small enough for me to bone out in the kitchen, and pack for freezer. I minced the scrapings off the bones to make venison burgers - lovely with creamed mushroom sauce. I also needed an extra 10cuft freezer to stock up on wild fowl in season - mallard duck, pheasant and the occasional woodcock (hard to get). Quail I could get all year round.
I enjoyed the 'wild meat' too but it was hard work since I had a full time job besides.
The things I did for love !!! - learnt my lesson - won't slave over a hot stove for any man ever again :D

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

over the decades those "Who Know Best" have told us not to eat eggs,bacon,n allsorts of differant goodies we love, can i just say 1 sentance to Nanny? - GO SUCK AN EGG.:D

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

I didn't think it would be possible to get deer in England ... duck and pheasant perhaps ... but deer? Ah well, we live and learn. Locally, the deer population is on the increase; they are a pest and a danger to motorists at night. Especially in the mating season. Well if you only get it once a year, a car isn't going to stop you from .... well you get the picture. But I also have Elk and Moose in my freezer, courtesy of a friend in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory. But for now, I think I may just have an egg for breakfast ... and take an extra lipitor.

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

Some deer are farmed - some are culled in the wild (still some wild places left in UK) In the last few years some OSTRICH farms have started. Their eggs arent available - too much of a gobful I would think :D

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

Deer farms ... neat. If there is ever a shortage we could ship a few thousand over there. A buddy of mine had to haul one out of his swimming pool the other day! They can be a pain in the butt. And I do realize that there are still wild places in England. Ossy is one of them. My gran was from Ossy, and she got really wild, especially when I ate her cheese ration in one mouthful!

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

The biggest wild place in Ossy is the moor leading to Haslingden (no deer there - too bleak and windy) - it is going to be a windfarm. The nearest wild deer are in the Trough of Bowland near Clitheroe.

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

got to disagree the wildest is/was the Bay Horse n Tinker n Budget.:D deer though was quite a few down the Dunkenhalgh a couple of years ago, probably still the case.

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

I do believe I remember the Tinker n Budget ... I vaguely recall being tossed out of there ... and it wasn't for eating too many pickled eggs.:D

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

You didn't take part in the infamous incident on the pool table Eric?:rofl38:

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

Actually I have seen wild deer, several times, up our very own Coppice. I used to take the dog for early walks (about 5am) up there and never failed to see deer at that time of the morning.:D

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

I don't think so ... but I was in walking black out at the time ... and I haven't heard about it. Remember the scene in Dirty Harry, the guy on the ground looks into the muzzle of the 457 magnum and says: "I gots to know"? So what was it?:confused: I gots to know.

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

I eat too many eggs.... exactly how bad are they for you.... :(
I have at least one a day.... even for a snack.... I'm so ashamed!!!

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

is it supposed to be only 3 a week??
i use 4 in a omelete alone

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

as its a family forum,would not be the best of ideas to elabourate.;)

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

I think they say 3 or 4 a week, it's because of the cholesterol. I don't know how we managed to live past middle age, 50 years ago. All those eggs, it's a wonder people weren't dropping like flies. :rolleyes:

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

Thread wander back to deer; my dad saw one on the pitch at Accy CC just a few weeks ago.- not a huge one but big enough;it ran off towards the phone mast and disappeared in the direction of the railway.

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

Not even the young lady's name:confused:

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

i love an egg in the morning, feel so full of energy - it wont be stopping me

Re: Do NOT Go To Work On An Egg
 

Whilst we argue amongst ourselves over one issue or another (currently eggs) the government is inexorably enmeshing us into the EU by stealth. I wonder what bad news is being buried whilst the egg debate rages?

I had my annual coronary check-up recently that included taking at least an armful of blood after starving and going thirsty except for water - ugh! (they call it fasting) for 16 hours and my cholesterol reading was 3.4. No doubt down to my daily intake of Simvastatin.

I eat between 4 and 6 eggs every week, fried (with fried dry cure bacon butties), scrambled (on toast buttered with real butter) or soft boiled.

So nanny can bleat all she likes because I will continue to ignore her and eat everything in moderation. Including strawberries and double cream, a selection of cream cakes plus red meat, home made chips done in beef dripping etc.
