Ok, today I had a craving for soft-boiled eggs and toast soldiers. Which I haven't had in about 15 years! So I made some, and they were delicious.
But is it just me, or is it more difficult these days than it used to be to tell which is the pointy end of the egg? I got it right with two of the eggs, but the third spilled yolk everywhere when I cut it - so it must have been 'upside-down'. But didn't look it.
Also, the yolks were more yellow than orange... why would that be? Looks more appetising when it's orange, IMO.

Genuine free range are easier to tell, also the yolks are a rich orange and far tastier, The eggs we get are various sizes and different shades of shells, the so called free range eggs most supermarkets sell are almost exactly the same size and shade plus the yolks are yellow, kinda makes me think they're far from free range!
I keep thousands of Free Rangers for the supermarkets, can't say I've noticed any prob's in identifying which end's which!
Although I believe there is a trend now for more sales of Medium Eggs instead of the traditional Large, this may be why the difference is not so clear.
Re the comment "super market so called free range being identical", they are graded out into similar sizes for sale and any dodgy looking ones removed. And as for the "so called" bit I know my birds have more space, better welfare and far better quality of life than those belonging to a neighbour of mine selling at the end of his road to passing trade! we have loads of folk driving past for a sunday run to see our fields full of birds.
