that I would enjoy my English fry up breakfast,
with black eggs! photos and
videos of the black eggs were posted on Sina Weibo last week by a man surnamed
Zhu from Hangzhou City, in China’s Zhejiang Province, He claimed that the eggs
came from a friend of his who kept many grey geese on his farm, Zhu explained
that the eggs had all been laid by the same goose, and that, except for the
yolk color, they smelled and looked like ordinary goose eggs, someone
suggested that the goose must have eaten a lot of black mulberries, which are
known for their high melanin content. Zhu then confirmed that there were indeed
many mulberry trees planted at the back of the farm where the geese were
raised, but he was skeptical about this possible explanation,
“These
geese are all raised freely. When mulberries fall to the ground, they run to
eat them. They contain melanin, so it may also be caused by eating too much
mulberry, but this explanation is not particularly reasonable, so I am not
sure, in short, it is quite strange,” the man wrote,
a poultry
expert asked by a Chinese news outlet to provide a potential reason for the
black yolk said that the only thing he can think of is environmental pollution,
adding that “scientifically speaking, such a phenomenon should not occur”, you can read more of the story here on Ettoday, so black eggs or not? I think I will stick to the normal ones, it just looks so strange seeing a black egg.

Stan perhaps the owner should collect and sell these as lucky eggs. I could see a high price on black scrambled eggs with white cheddar cheese laced in. It could be featured as a fortune meal that will bring luck in the future to those who dine on these special eggs. How about 250 pounds a serving? Seems the more it cost the more it would be desired and believed. A great special feature for an upscale restaurant. And very limited in quantity as only one goose! Instead of the goose having golden eggs this one is the goose with the black fortune eggs. Must be very lucky. Given that let’s move the price to 450 pounds and bet there would be some takers plus big free advertising…what a deal!

Dear John O, a great idea, but for myself melted cheese is a no no, but I am sure in the right area there would be so many that would pay the price, I just hope the restaurant, if asked for a goose dinner does not kill the golden one! best regards, Stan and Diana.
