I went to wish Leah a happy birthday this morning and came home with a dozen fresh eggs from her chooks!
David and Leah have four beautiful chooks in the bottom of their garden and they're in fine laying spirits.
This photo is from the markets in Mondulkiri, Cambodia, black eggs were very popular there. In fact all sorts of eggs are very popular in Cambodia. People would put whole eggs with shell on skewers and smoke them or steam them. They would number the eggs 1-5 - referring to days. Apparently 3 days is very tasty, we didn't ever try - the number refers to the age of the chick in the shell.
Thanks Gabby for the beautiful birthday presents. They are just perfect.
ReplyDeleteOur chooks will be very excited to hear that they are mentioned on your blog. Now they have celebrity status they may even start laying two eggs a day. Glad you didn't eat those smoked unborn chicks.... Hard to get your head around, but culturally fine to them I'm sure.
