If you ate 10 bananas a day... what's that? about $2.50 a day?... what's that? about $75 a month usa.
170,000 Col pesos a month.
You wouldn't then become an egghead,
but might be considered as
one of the steps in primordial...
evolution.

Colombia; It's...another Banana Republic!

Why Not Colombia?..........Stay Tuned, for more.... utterly worthless, self-indulgent gobbets of nonsense.

I used to love eggs as a kid. I could eat 4 eggs for breakfast (fried, boiled, scrambled, omelete etc), never got fat or sick....Now I cant even touch them, I have this crazy idea in my head that eggs, as unfertilized as they come, are the chicken equivalent for menstruation...I cant even smell eggs now without gagging violently.

The recipe will probably have to be corrected for different altitudes. Barranquilla and Bogotá require very different cooking times.

My favorites Soft bold eges and Huevos pericos.

For soft bold eggs the trick is once the water is boiling, put the eggs in there plus a some salt and wait just 5 minutes, then you will have some nice tasting soft bold eggs.

I don´t eat them usually but when I do I would take at least 4 of them.

I used to love soft boiled eggs when growing up. It is a German staple food for breakfast. I even had my own little eggs holder and spoon to eat the egg. I had forgotten about that.

Colombian eggs I prefer the campesino eggs where I live in Colombia. They yolks are a deeper yellow and the taste is better IMO.

You are correct about altitude. It took me awhile to get use to the difference in cooking between where I was at about sea level in California and here North of Bogotá.

Salt in the water - The purpose of salt in the water is to make the water boil at a higher temperature. Rather meaning, things will cook faster. (I always enjoyed the high school science projects proving that)

However, I have heard that the age of the eggs has much to do also with how well the shell comes off. I have not facts to support that, only heard it. But can say that I have never had any problems with fresh eggs from the farm that I hard boiled immediately.

Deviled eggs - So very popular in the USA, yet I have yet to see or hear of anyone making them here in Colombia.

I made deviled eggs last week. It was the first time my llanera had seen them or eaten them. She thought they were ok ... nothing special.
