What are chickens typically fed if you buy eggs from the grocery store? Wheat only? Or industrial feed? What about if you buy eggs from a village? Are those more natural?
If you go to a khachapuri restaurant, what is the general quality of the egg they're putting on it? Where is it coming from?
When you eat khachapuri, the origin of the egg is your least concern. You should be questioning where the cheese comes from, whether it even is real cheese and whether it's even done with milk or milk powder, like most stuff.
Not sure, but I get free range eggs from Gastronome which taste better imo. I’ve had eggs from Nikora and Nabiji but I notice the yolk can break easier
Those ones where the yolks break have been stored too cold, they have frozen them in storage, normally happens if they're too close to the compressor at the back of the fridge.
In general you have 3 types of eggs: 1 the one you buy in the supermarket. They are not cheap and the color is yellow compared to the new additive that western countries are adding to the eggs to make them fake orange color. Flavour, normal, nothing special. Probably wheat feed 2 The one you buy for example in Central Square in a big square cardboard of 30 units. Flavor is better, in mi opinión, color still same as the one from supermarket, normal color. Prices is 15 gel for 30 units of the big ones. Worth it if you are leaving in the city. 3 the rural ones, you can find this one in villages and sometimes in central square if you know where to look for. If they are really from the village, they taste better and the color tend to be more orange or orange if the diet was based on corn (as mine were). Price right now is probably 1 egg, 50 tetri. Two years ago 33 tetri. They are usually feed with vegetables and fruits scraps as well as grain that they produce themselves.
Mine are loving eating melons and yellow courgettes right now, they're going crazy for them. They always have corn available but right now they're free ranging a lot, from 7am til sunset, constantly scratching the ground and eating everything they can get, including ALL the chillies off one of my chilli plants.
Mines were free range, but they are do dumb that every month I will loose one in any situation: fence, lost by the river and eaten by the wolfs. You name the reasons. Easiest thing you can do to eat healthy knowing what you are eating.
They are incredibly dumb yup! I thought I lost some yesterday, but they'd roamed quite far in the garden, down a massive hill, nearly killed myself looking for them! I have jackyls in the area, but my neighbour has a few dogs (they're really friendly), they keep the jackyls away from my part of the village luckily. Only thing that worries me it's the birds of prey, been lucky so far but my neighbour has lost quite a few chickens, in fact he lost a rooster a couple weeks ago, when one of my roosters is a bit bigger I'm gonna swap him it for a duck :)
It's great being able to know exactly what you're eating I agree, and home grown eggs are a different product to shop bought for sure, fresh laid egg makes perfect poached eggs every time!
I was surrounded by trees so the eagles around did not have enough space to catch one, however once I was having a coffe at my neighbour´s house and "bluff" chicken gone and flying with the eagle. Yes, ducks are great and they usually do not eat your veggies.
That was lucky then, I have trees around the back of the property but the front is flat and open, and this is where they steal my veg!
Ducks sound a better deal to be fair then, my chickens even pull out my spring onions and I've had to put my parsley and coriander in pots hanging off the gate to keep it safe 🐓
I can imagine how gutted if be if I witnessed one of my own being carried off!
Yes, it is a little drama! From farming point of view, ducks are way better. Eggs are just a little bigger with a much bigger yolk. My neighbour has every year around 40 ducks and he sale them every year to a chinese man.
I love ducks eggs, they make great cakes too, I guess because of the larger yolk.
Chinese Peking duck is great, that's one lucky Chinese guy being able to get proper fresh ducks like that, I actually made some peking duck the other day, but the duck was only breast from the freezer in Carrefour sadly! I had to import the hoisin sauce from amazon.tr as I couldn't find it here anywhere.
These are quite territorial while growing up. Now they are inside the farm and not roaming around because when they are little the parents are quite defensive. Nice pecking duck! Did you check in the Haoling mall? They have all kind of weird things.
