taste like they used to?

Perhaps they're sense of taste has changed. Have you asked them?

chicken , eggs, lots of stuff doesnt taste as good as it used to does it,

Had some nice one's from a local farm shop, he also had double yolked ones!..

The fried eggs from my pastured chickens taste wonderful, just like their ancestors used to.

i know i was spoilt as a child,it was one of my jobs to collect the warm eggs every morning,so i can relate to wot baz is saying,although i realise,hes just saying that,hoping i will buy castle hugo. in the back of my mind,i can remember frying them with a little butter...could this be it? bryan.

Felicity, do you mean the eggs of the ancestors or did you eat the ancestors? Bob

I meant the ancestors of the eggs - I can't be eating the original ones again, now can I? :-)

Because no one frys stuff in good old lard now? Debs.

No Felicity, I mean't did you eat the birds!!! Bob :))

Oh, right, Bob, I see what you mean!! No, I didn't eat the birds. I tend to give names to them and can't bring myself to eat anything with a name. I did wonder if names like Sage or Onion or Stuffing would make a difference, but I haven't tried that yet!

Because your taste buds deteriorate over time? Because no one can do it like Mum? who knows? nell

I buy mine from a farm and I often have double yokers. They are much better than shop bought eggs.

I buy organic free range and they are GORGEOUS!!!! Worth every penny Maz. XX

I think chickens and eggs taste horrible these days due to the food that they receive in these mass farming facilities. we have our own chickens and eggs - they eat (the chickens) our home grown veg and other bits and pieces from the garden and they taste wonderful. I have heard of an hotel in England someplace that got quiet a name for itself for its home grown turkeys that were feed on amongst other stuff large portions of sage and onion

Because your taste buds die off as you get older Gwynne (to whom everything still tastes fine, honestly, really)

Also why don't you get cream on the top of your milk like you use to ? Steve.

I used to have some chickens. They were called Sweet 'n' Sour, Soup, Korma, Chasseur, and Kiev. The best eggs I've ever had. The cockerel was called Pox! Kxx

Free range eggs are definately much better, well worth paying a bit extra for. I have to agree that bacon is useless - I like mine to go crispy - almost impossible these days. Jack

Ahhh - you're not buying the right sort of bacon!!! You must get Dry Cure - it hasn't got that added water and it goes lovely and crispy. Again it is more expensive, but again worth every penny!!! Maz. XX
