A well-known song from South Pacific tells us "There is nothing like a dame". When I am feeling peckish, I find there is nothing like an egg to fill the gap, be it scrambled, poached, fried or boiled.

I have therefore been taken aback on a number of occasions recently to discover both large and small eggs in a box supposedly only containing one size - large.

I wonder if other readers have noticed this discrepancy in size and does anyone know the method used to size an egg?
