Warburton's medium is £1.09 today in Scotmid, and I've just done the unthinkable - bought eggs from caged hens. They are less than half the price of free-range I usually buy and they are delicious.

I'm sorry for their treatment, but today I'm eating cheap eggs and I'm loving it. I can't tell the difference by taste and, besides, I'm deeply, deeply cruel

I wonder if squeezing hens periodically makes them more productive.

Or would that just produce longer thinner eggs?

That is exactly why I hate animal rights protesters. We need answers to the important questions like this one!

I normally get my eggs from someone who has free range chooks in the village. They are so free range you sometimes get a good roadkill hen for sunday lunch. I have bought caged hen eggs before but personally i find the eggs to be smaller and less tasty but when you want an egg for brekkie any egg will do.

I am fortunate in that I don't like eggs; however I am curious as to the benefit of a tubular egg. Despite sounding like a Mike Oldfield-when-he's-too-stoned-to-care concept album, just how would you eat it and how thin would you have to slice your soldiers?

Think of the ease of slicing!

Oh no. Then we'll have the Orchestral Tubular Eggs, Tubular Eggs II, Tubular Eggs III, The Millennium Egg and of course, Amar-egg.

Yes, well what is the difference between an egg and a bell?

(I'm sure there's an obscene joke in there somewhere...)
