Currabinny cooks: How to make a classic club sandwich that's better than any hotel
Must Egg Include Sandwich Club Fried Picture: Bríd A O'donovan Crispy Ultimate The
In the last few weeks and months we have been getting regular gifts of lovely little eggs from James’s parents. They have a chicken coop in a clearing to the back of their house. James’s father built the whole operation from scratch around a year and a half ago. They got chickens and one cockerel from a nearby organic farmer. The chicken enclosure is nice and big, allowing the chickens to roam freely, they are in effect free-range chickens laying organic eggs.
There is much confusion over what all this terminology actually means. When buying eggs there will be three determining pieces of information you need to look out for.
* The first is class, with ‘class A’ simply meaning that they are suitable for human consumption, therefore you will never see ‘class B’ eggs for sale in a supermarket as these types of eggs just go to non-human use in industries.
* The second is size which is determined by weight.
* And the third and most important is how the hens who laid the eggs were reared. The terms free-range and organic are two ones that responsible consumers should look out for. For various reasons, these two terms cannot both be displayed on a box of eggs, even though organic eggs are almost always also free-range. Free-range eggs are not usually organic as the organic label is usually more sought after. You will often see eggs labelled as organic, laid by ‘free to roam’ hens.
Labelling on food can often be misleading or confusing, so doing a little research on what different terms mean is important when making decisions on what food you buy.
If you have the resources and space to ethically raise your own organic hens, I am both jealous and supportive. You don’t need acres of land or live in the countryside to raise chickens but you do of course need enough backyard space to accommodate a spacious chicken pen.
To have a happy healthy organic chicken flock the ideal space is about 1.2m2 per chicken if they have some outdoor space to scratch around in. If they don’t have any outdoor scratching space, then you will need closer to 10m2. Source chickens or chicks from a good reputable source: there are specific types ideally suited to egg-laying. When you have your chickens then you will need to brush up on how to keep the chicken healthy, happy and safe from predators.
With this sudden inundation of beautiful eggs we have been coming up with some delicious ways of incorporating them into our meals.
