We are officially a nation of egg lovers. We eat 10 billion a year – that’s 26 million every single day. Our top three favourite ways to eat our eggs are boiled, scrambled and then fried.
Eggs have also inspired some rather strange behaviour around the world. Just have a look at these crazy facts…
- According to the Guinness Book of Records, the Lung Association of Brockville, Canada made an omelette that weighed an unbelievable 2.95 tonnes (6,510 lb) at the Brockville Memorial Centre, Ontario, Canada on May 11, 2002.
- Howard Helmer is a genuine egg-centric. He holds the world record for being the fastest omelette maker, rustling up 427 omelettes in 30 minutes.
- The world record for throwing and catching a raw unbroken egg was set in 1978 in Texas, when Johnny Dell Foley threw a fresh egg 323ft 2ins (98.51m) to his cousin Keith Thomas.
Why not meet some of our Natures Nest egg farmers? All of Morrisons own brand eggs are now 100% British free range.
