Reply to comment by JibJabJake in Asda limits egg sales to two boxes a customer by VORTXS

Who has palettes so discerning that they complain about an eggs richness? Eggs are eggs.

No. If the hens are fed the wrong stuff they just taste bad.

Granted, I'm not out visiting local farms to try an assortment, but I've never had eggs that I could describe as "too rich"

It's like skim milk vs whole milk. I know people who only drink skim milk because whole milk is too rich.

Yup I've had eggs that somehow tasted of fishmeal. That's one good thing about the UK, the eggs are generally pretty decent.

No, they taste different. They most definitely have a richer taste to them.

I'm struggling to imagine what that tastes like. Rich is a word I associate with milk, cream, or butter

You're on the right track. They're more creamy, thicker, and I guess you could say a more buttery taste to them. Even the meat tastes different sometimes depending on the year if they're eating more grass and bugs versus more supplemented grains.
