Question Author
would'nt say its common, but i saw two cooks on telly use them like that in two weeks, plus other times as well, since they always say they use free range eggs i wonder if there is a connection with the way the chickens can run about, my mum always had a few chickens and she used to crack them in a bowl to look at them before she put them in anything, even thogh she knew they were fresh, so maybe thats what she was looking for, i know if she found a bloody one she would put in in the dogs bowl.
