Talking of eggs... I have recently taken to buying proper free range (as opposed to pretend free range) eggs. They are a bit pricey when compared to the caged and abused shite but I am willing to deal with that after seeing the Hugh Fearnly Eatsitall documentaries and shit like that about the whole chicken business and shit and so on.
The thing is -- they are really fucking so much nicer -- it is unbelievable how good they are soft boiled with yer toasted soldiers. Don't know how I managed to put up with the other shite for so long.
Just saying like.

Oh man, here my total fucking support stops. Them tree-huggers are doing headology on you. A few drops of Tabasco in your vodka will put you back together right as rain, I swear.
Soft boiled eggs? Next you know, they will get you a plastic green egg-holder.

I have a metal egg cup thank you very much. Forged from the kiln of the devil himself so it is.
Tree hugging has nowt to do with not liking chickens being tortured and shit like that.
Pennies are what we are talking about here. I buy the expensive shit (eggs) and cut back on the utter shite I would possibly consider buying (eg. shit like pre-washed salad bags or coleslaw and shit like that).
Chickens -- creatures too. They need loving and shit like that.

Totally and utterly and completely and fully right and proper position, Will, to which I would add that the constriction of empathy required by barbaric industrial-scale cruelty to animals is a harbinger of (or at least a kind of fellow-traveler to) cruelty to people, and the people are entitled to good food and drink. Which includes real eggs.
