Living near Westminster, California we passed by a place my wife was
convinced was some kinda new food joint. Two elderly Vietnamese men
sat outside in folding chairs chatting in the night air. We walked in
and it was nothing but counter. The man at the counter had that timid,
frightened look that said either "I don't speak English" or "Please
don't be the INS". On the wall was a sign with five items with prices.
One of the old guys from outside and sidled up to help with his very
crude English. We asked what they sold. Eggs, chicken. We looked
again at the list on the wall and realized there were all varieties of
that pork-cake/lunch meat stuff. Pork? We asked. Yes, he said, pork.
They had these wide cardboard egg cartons, no lids, that held 18 eggs.
They also had raw chicken. "Brown chicken" the old guy was quick to
point out. What the hell, we bought a carton of eggs and a chicken. I
roasted the chicken (almost six pounds) the following day and after
whittling off the head, footies and disemboweling it (all new to me),
it cooked up real pretty and tasted good too.
Particularly in the breat area this was some jaw-working bird though.
The two-bone section of the wing was about six inches long. This was a
working bird. He might have pulled a cart, I don't know.
But the eggs are gargantuan! We've never seen eggs so large. We tried
to put 12 in an empty egg carton. and they wouldn't quite fit. Huge!
So far we've eaten about 8 of them. 7 of them were double-yolks.
Seven! The one that wasn't a double-yoke had the largest single yolk
I've ever seen. I can tell by the odd somewhat stretched or longish
aspect to the egg, that the majority of the eggs remaining are most
likely twin-yolks.
Has anybody encountered so many twin yolks? I'm beginning to worry that
I'll develop breasts or grow a new appendage after eating these.
