For years when I go grocery shopping or to a resturant, I ask if they have square eggs, only
to be told: no. I was introduced to square eggs by watching the Green Acres TV Show.
See: Season 2, Episode 44, A Square is not Round. First aired on CBS, December 14, 1966.
Well with the advent of 3D printing, in the 21st century, I finally got some square eggs !!!
The picture to the left shows 3 uncracked square eggs, 1 jumbo square egg, and 3 cracked
square eggs, with the shells. The middle and square egg to the right, are shown as cooked
over easy, with the egg white, and yellow yolk, sqaure as they should be. It would not make any
sense to have a square yellow yolk from a round egg, as you would not eggsspect a square egg
to have round yellow yolk. This should be fundamentally taught in Egg Technology 101 class.
Now the egg to the left with the semi clear egg white, with the square yellow yolk, represents the
egg that has just come out of the square shell, uncooked. In the Green Acres episode they are trying
to figure out which chicken is laying the square eggs. Well Eb comes up with the idea that it should
not be too difficult... just look for a square chicken... Well I don't want to name any names, but the
square chicken in the picture looks like a well rounded square chicken to me. This is really Eggciting
to me !!! Although I can't eat the square eggs, I now have square eggs in my life. Just think... if they
can make edible square eggs someday, no more eggs rolling off the table or counter, and falling on the floor.
This could really be a revolution in the egg industry !!! This is an idea that it's all cracked up to be !
People that were afraid to eat round eggs, might start coming out of their shell. There might be square egg
conventions all across the Nation !!! Of course with anything that is valuable, there might be
brawls in saloons like in the old west of the 1800's, over square eggs. This would give new meaning to the term:
a good square meal ! Square Eggs could be used in business to square up a business deal ! Imagine that !
Of all the Imperial Russian Faberge Eggs made in the late 1800's to the early 20th century, I do not think that
there was a single Square Egg made !!! But then again, they did not have the advantage of watching Green Acres on TV.
Eggs Benedict is one of my favorite things to eat. Back in the late 1980's - early 1990's there was a resturant
that served the best variation of eggs benedict I ever had. It was called: The Great Reef. Best Hollandaise Sauce,
and instead of Canadian bacon or ham, crab meat was substituted. I am a big fan of eggs - though it might be hard
to tell. During baseball season, some stadiums have a Bark in the Park Day, where fans can bring their dogs to
baseball games. Maybe someday they will have a Bok in the Park Day, where you can bring your chickens square
or round to baseball games. Then again maybe not - I think one reason they do not allow chickens at baseball games,
is that it might make the pitchers BOK, and the batters hit FOWL balls.... ( Pun Intended )

over the years, and his work is always the very best... or should I say for this project: EGGCELLENT !!!
