Which came first, the chicken or the egg ?

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Eggs are amazing - who would have thought that something that comes out of a chickens bum would be so tasty and so versatile in the kitchen ? In fact, I often wonder who the first person was to actually EAT an egg, and why they did it. In Britain, we eat nearly 10 billion eggs a year; that's 26 million every day, so they're clearly a favourite food here! Chicken eggs are the most commonly eaten eggs in the uk , although there are many more edible eggs - duck, goose, quail and ostrich to name a few. Generally speaking though, most of us stick to the chicken eggs found in the supermarket - and generally fall into three categories - Battery or Caged eggs, Barn Eggs, or Free Range eggs . I'll briefly explain the categories for those who may now know them . Battery/Caged ------------------- Battery/Caged eggs are produced by chickens kept...

It's no yolk - Eggs = eggsellent value

Advantages: Cheap, fast, nutritious food
Disadvantages: None!!

... I INTRODUCE THE HUMBLE EGG I think that eggs are taken for granted too much. Let's face it they are the ultimate fast food!! All contained in it's perfect natural and biodegradable package are protein, vitamins and minerals - fairly low in saturated fat - they can make a meal in seconds and can be used in so many different ways. The humble egg is one of the most nutritious foods you can buy and at around 80 calories per egg they are great if you're on a diet or trying to eat a healthy diet. The poor old egg took a bit of a bashing in the 1980's with the Salmonella scare and there are still many people worry about using eggs, especially raw but they are really safe now. I am lucky enough to live near to a farm where I can go and buy my free range eggs virtually direct from the chicken - their rich yellow, almost orange...

Toilet Duck (toilet duck cleaner)

Advantages: Works well and smells good
Disadvantages: The neck of the bottle traps the last of the liquid cleaner.

...manufactures a vast range of household cleaning products, all of which appear on our supermarket shelves. Johnson`s produce furniture polish, air purifying products, oven cleaners, bathroom and toilet cleaners and insect repellents to name but a few.

Grobag Egg - Keeping a close eye on the temperature.

Advantages: Great device, funky lights, looks good in a nursery.
Disadvantages: None.

...The Grobag Egg is a night light that is designed to keep a close monitor on the temperature in your child's bedroom or nursery and it is easy to see because it lights up and this also means that you can peer in to your children's room without having to disturb their sleep or alert them to your presence. The device is egg shaped with a permanent back lit LCD readout and the actual temperature is display so you can be aware of whether the temperature is just a little too high or too cold and adjust things accordingly to ensure that your baby is kept warm at all times. The ideal temperature is 16-20 degrees and the temperature colour gauges are listed below: Cold - Blue - Under 16 degrees Ideal - Yellow - 16-20 degrees Warm - Orange - 20-24 degrees Hot - Red - Over 24 degrees I think that this is a fantastic safety feature...

Love a duck

Advantages: tasty, fairly healhty, fullfilling
Disadvantages: price (if bought individually), bland if you don't get any meat/sauce in your mouthfull

...Delicious Hoisin Duck Wrap Wanting something a little fulfilling for lunch and fed up with what is on offer at prêt, I decided to wander into boots in order to get lunch. After pondering and deliberating I decided to go for the Hoisin Duck Wrap in the delicious range. PACKAGING A strip of card that the wrap sits on covered in a see through wrapper. The cardboard inner could be recycled as long as it is not contaminated with food. There is a picture of a cooked duck and underneath with Hoisin Duck Wrap comments it states "Sticky duck with crunchy veg - a restaurant favourite wrapped up for lunch". It is free from hydrogenerated fats and artificial colours and flavourings. NUTRITION Using the "traffic" light system the nutrition values are: Amber 397 Calories 11g Fat 3.5g Saturates 2.2g salt Green 9...

Egg on your face

Advantages: Easy to cook and occasionally tasty
Disadvantages: Death, doom, gloom and smelly farts

...If you had asked me fifteen years ago if I ever thought I'd be sitting at a computer writing a review of eggs at any point in my life, I'd have probably jumped on your head, gotten chocolate smeared down your best dress and started crying when you told me off. Well, I was 6. Got to wonder what all you blokes were doing in that dress though eh? Each to their own I suppose! If you've never had an egg before then I firstly have to welcome you to the planet and implore you to try the Sambuca. Then I need to explain a little about where they come from (unless you are all oologists). Eggs are laid (aka generally plonked out of the down below area) by fish, birds, reptiles and very old TV presenters such as Anne Robinson.* You really don't want to know what goes into the making of a Fabergé egg. You may also be interested to find out...

To Egg or not to Egg?

Advantages: Good customer service, Discount Rewards
Disadvantages: Discounts change and other cards have better rewards

...INTRO I first decided to get an Egg Credit Card to take advantage of a 0% Interest Balance Transfer (BT) about 2-3 years ago. This was so that I could buy a £1,000 laptop (Samsung Q35). The interest free period was only 6 months but that's all I needed to pay off the balance. I think the BT fee was about 2.5% back then. It's a bit higher now, circa 3% in line with other credit card providers. They also have a 0% on purchases offer on the same card, at the same time alongside the balance transfer offer but this is usually shorter than the balance transfer so if you use both and you don't clear the balance before the end of the 0% interest on purchases period, you end up paying interest on the purchases spending unless you clear the entire balance as this is a sneaky tactic that most BT cards use.

The Fat Duck Restaurant, Bray

Advantages: Wild combinations and cuisine, an experience
Disadvantages: Very expensive, Not a place to take the kids

...The Fat Duck, Bray, Berkshire One of only a handful of 3* Michelin restaurants in the UK, Bray is blessed by having two such illustrious establishments. The Fat Duck is owned by chef Heston Bumenthal, a creative, and some might say, inspired genius who has built up the reputation of the Fat Duck since 1995, having bought it as a 450 year old pub. I decided to organise a once in a very-long-while treat for my wife and I in 2006 to celebrate, Birthday, Valentine's day and a love of good food and wine. The trip was to be a competition (or at least a comparison) - The Fat Duck versus The Waterside Inn (the other 3* Michelin establishment in Bray). You can see my other review of the Waterside Inn for the comparison. Booking ------------ All I can say with this is good luck. I called over Christmas to...

Egg go top for customer service

Advantages: customer service is great, upto date balances are available 24 hours a day, easy access
Disadvantages: none

...I have been a customer with Egg now for nearly a year and the service I have received from Egg has been worldclass from day 1. Egg is an internet bank where all your accounts are view and managed by you over the net. Egg is like any other bank and offers all types of accounts from credit cards, to loans and savings. The account opening is easy and you can apply online through their website at www.egg.com. You just select the account you want and apply for that account. Egg offer 24 hour banking and long hours of customer service. The waiting time is short and all operators are very helpful and friendly. The only thing I can complain about was an operator yesturday told me I was over my agreed limit on my card and said my balance was minus. When I checked my account on the website this means I am in credit on my credit...

More fun with Duck

Advantages: Simple rhymes keep young children interested
Disadvantages: none

...***The Background*** Jez Alborough is a master at not only writing, but also illustrating children's books. His clever but simple rhymes enthral children and his funny drawings keep them laughing as the story is told. He has published over 30 books to date with both Walker Books and Harper Collins, who delight us with this popular Duck series. His books are published in not only boardbook form like this one, but in paperback and hardback too. This gives a good range for different age groups. ***The Story*** The little rhyme on the back of the book goes like this, "Duck decides today he'll be the captain of a boat at sea. He takes a friend to lend a hand But nothing turns out quite as planned! The story inside starts of with duck in a delightful picture as we "Say hello to Mr Duck." He is sitting in his dressing...
