We stopped by a few hours ago ourselves to pick up some pasture-raised eggs and radishes. Haven't tried them yet, will report back. I'm really hoping to see some deep-orange egg-yolks when I crack these bad boys open.
Right after I typed that I had to just fry up some eggs and give them a taste test.
First I fried the one up from Tello Green Farms (Travers Park Green Market). These are advertised as grain fed, pasture raised, free range. Here's how it came out:
Then I fried up one brown egg I already had in the fridge, we'll call these generic brown eggs. Don't remember the brand, honestly. The first attempt broke in the pan. I tossed it and tried another. Here's how it came out:
Here they are side by side. They're seasoned with salt, pepper, and oregano. Can you tell which is which?
The Tello farms is on the right, generic brown on the left.
I think they look pretty much the same, they handled pretty much the same too. The yolk from the Tello farms egg felt sturdier and firmer, but this could be just my psychological bias here. I tasted both, starting with the Tello egg. I felt the Tello yolk tasted richer. I sampled them again in reverse order and came to the same conclusion.
Realizing I could be totally biased here I asked the wife to come in and taste them both. She was tasting these blind, she had no way of knowing which was which. She tasted the generic brown first and then tasted the Tello. I asked her which one she preferred and she pointed at the Tello. She tasted them both again. "Yes, this one, there's just no comparisen," she said out the side of her mouth, finishing the Tello egg. I revealed which one she picked and she said she wasn't surprised.
The radishes? I've been eating them like hand-fruit. They're big and plump and almost have a sweetness to their spicy bite.
