How do you like your eggs in the morning?

I like mine with a kiss.

Bird Flu has been found in Egypt and, as expected, the locals are in a panic. The little farmyard fowl is having his throat cut as I speak, as are the turkey, duck and pigeon cousins. There are rumours that KFC will be out of business within a week. Supermarkets are girding up their loins for an attack on their frozen chickens and eggs. Will their stocks be dumped on the street like Danish butter?

I am sorry but I have always been a risk-taker. I shall have my KFC (if ithey stay open long enough), and my frozen supermarket chicken, and my fried eggs on a Saturday morning! This bird flu is a serious thing, I have no doubt, but I am not going to be put off my food by ridiculous hyped-up media reports that extol doom and gloom. There are people who panic if the toilet doesn't flush properly. This flu thing is bad for the economy and bad for my Saturday breakfasts! (If we get to the mask-wearing stage I shall clean my eggs thoroughly in vinegar and burn my chicken all the way through).
The larger poultry producers have checks and measures, I'm sure, so I shall put my trust in them.

By the way, if I'm going to die I am going to have to put a tick next to cigarette smoker, imbiber of alcohol, bad driver and consumer of eggs (I won't even go into bacon at this stage in history). Where would I tick? Couldn't give a damn. I could be road-kill tomorrow. Prejudice is an incredibly powerful habit and I won't bow to it.

From what I have heard and read about Cairo traffic, I think the roadkill option is more likely than any of the others! LOL

The bird flu is a serious thing? Sorry, but I tend to disagree, as there have been ZERO cases of human to human transmission, and all cases thus far have been confined, not to those who eat poultry, but to those who handle live poultry as a matter of course.

I think the avian flu epidemic will one day be looked back on as one of the biggest non stories in our history.

Over-easy, runny. When I boil or poach them I leave them soft as well. I also eat my steaks rare, even in restaurants. Given the number of people who die of related diseases as opposed to traffic accidents, I have a lot better chance of getting killed on the way home than I do of getting sick.
