你见过圆形的鸡蛋吗?
[ 2010-10-15 15:44 ]

据英国《每日邮报》报道,酒店厨师詹姆斯·彻奇日前发现了一个非常规则的圆形鸡蛋,据悉,这种鸡蛋的存在几率仅为十亿分之一。事情经过是这样的:詹姆斯正要打破蛋壳给位于英国纽基的比里斯托尔酒店的客人们做煎蛋,结果发现这枚蛋并不是他常见的椭圆形状。“作为厨师我已经打破了至少10万个鸡蛋了,但我从来没见过这样的,”他说。

After eight years preparing full English breakfasts, chef James Church knows an all-round good egg when he sees one.

Which is why he stopped himself consigning this remarkable specimen to the frying pan.

Mr Church, 27, spotted the spherical oddity among a box full of otherwise regularly-shaped free-range eggs delivered to the Hotel Bristol in Newquay, Cornwall by a local supplier.

"I've probably cracked at least 100,000 eggs in my time as a chef but I've never seen one like this,"  he said.

"I stood for a few moments in awe. I called everyone in the kitchen over and they stood around it too, because they had never seen anything like it either."

"I've put it in a protective case so I don't get it mixed up with any others by mistake."

"I managed to save it from the frying pan so I'm definitely going to keep it."

John Retson, chairman of the British Free Range Egg Producers' Association, said he was amazed by the round egg. The 58-year-old, who has 55,000 birds at his farm in Perthshire said: "I have never seen a completely round egg in my life."

Asked what might have caused the phenomenon, he added: "It might be that when the egg was forming it got held up in the Fallopian tubes."

"This can be caused by stress or a variety of other reasons. But if it gets held up it becomes misshapen."
