Update :
Seems that rejected or deformed eggs are classified as E and F.
E for Egg? and F for Fail !
Just kidding.
Eggs meant for households are classified AA,A,B,C,D.
That makes most Penang egg sellers out to be a whole bunch of crooks.
Cos they buy the E's and the F's,regrade or totally mix the lot up together with the genuine AA,A,B,C,D's and sort them out according to size.
In todays press statement, the person in charge of disseminating info to the media,has unwittingly dented consumer confidence when he reveals that these E and F grade eggs are sold cheaper to bakeries and manufacturers that produce pastries,biscuits and eggssociated stuff.
Wow.Whoopee.We feel iller already.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
So finally the results are in.
Two tests were conducted,the last being a DNA one.
That's the official test.
Millions of Malaysian households conducted their own unofficial ones.
We eyeballed the eggs,we broke the shells,we sniffed the contents and we even tried to check how easily the white and the yolk blended together.
Some wore disposable gloves while handling them.Others washed their hands once too many afterwards.
We strained to see the difference between the REAL egg and the FAKE egg.It looked the same yet we reprogrammed our brains to register otherwise.
We even checked out the colour.
Deep yellow was out.
That meant the Omega and DHA eggs were...were.....
We were convinced that the eggs we had in our possession were tasteless.
Those that partook of the Macdee $5 for two big breakfastses had their heads in vomit bags.
They were convinced that the fast food giant's eggs did not taste like eggs until the giant itself had to trawl forums and blogs to refute the claims.
That the eggs are confirmed and certified not fake will see to it that red faces abound from the dusty halls of the CAP through the many hi tech editors desks that approved related articles creating an eggs-traordinary mess.
CAP tsk tsk tsk...how on earth are we to take them seriously anymore after this fiasco?
I thought they sent everything to labs and backed it up with chemical breakdowns?
Not just rely on two year old round the circuit chain emails,misinformed 'informants' or their eyes,ears and noses to investigate.
Just what were we getting so worked up about?
Oh,one ministry now reassures us that those eggs are genuine,just REJECTED,DEFORMED or UNFIT for the consumer market.
Apparently approved ones have a V stamped on them.
Frankly I haven't noticed any printed on eggs sold in the wet markets.
How reasssuring.Yall can sleep easy tonight.Yea right.....
Thanks to the temporary hysteria,we now know that odd shaped eggs and egg shells that are rough to the touch come from old hens.
That's downright cruel.
Like making your mom reproduce your 35th sibling before she hits menopause.
We now also know that the texture of eggs also depend on what ANTIBIOTICS and chicken feeds the birds consume.Thanks alot.
Geez.Brilliant.
Next time you have a flu,don't go to the doctor.... just pop in an egg for the next 5 days,every 4 hours.
Some emboldened egg sellers now even dare to say that the Pulau Tikus squealer bought STALE eggs.
Who the heck asked them to sell us stale eggs?
Therefore,before you put all your eggs in a basket,make sure they are not Reject Shop,Factory Outlet Store,Closing Down Chickencoop Sales or Ayam-ayam Pencen Old Fowl Homes ones.
Ensure that you select smooth shelled,not too large and perfectly shaped ones.
Actually that is a marketing tip that good homeministers would have instilled into their kids from young.
Good homeministers that actually know how to cook,not just order their maid around,or stuff their Twiddledum bratwurst kids while they diet like a mouse,mind you.
On another note,the night time koay kak seller in Burma Road was overheard retorting to a customer that had insisted on eggless koay kak.
He furiously knocked 3 eggs into the pan and DARED her to take it or leave it cos there are others that will buy it if she doesn't.
She took it but walked back to her car with heavy stooped shoulders,heart full of grief and head so heavily downcast with guilty burden.
I felt for her.
Everyone is just so eggxasperated over the whole sickening to the gut eggpisode,don't you think?
