Hah! I used to give away my surplus eggs when we had too many. Once I asked a co-worker if he wanted any more since I figured he had used up the last dozen I gave him. He laughed and said "no thanks. The wife complained that they were muddy and probably weren't pasteurized and how did we know they were safe to eat. I told her that they were from free range chickens that just went outside and got muddy feet when they were looking for food, but she wasn't having it." So that's my anecdote: give away delicious eggs (the taste really is night and day different from supermarket eggs) and people complain that they don't look like the ones in the supermarket! Right now I have a basket of eggs on my kitchen counter ranging from spotlessly clean to 40% mud covered and some with a fair amount of chickenshit on them. It's all good: having this many eggs is an excuse to come up with new uses for them. Made a batch of lemon bars (filling is mostly eggs and lemon juice/zest) and they were awesome.
