yummm! pictures look so amazing and that breakfast so easy to prepare, but can i substitute spec w something else? olive oil? butter? would that ruin the flavor too much?

I do understand exactly what you mean. I have recently moved house and I'm missing my chooks....buying eggs from the supermarket is not the same even if they are supposed to be free range. I will eventually get chooks again, not just for that lovely feeling of having your own 'real' eggs but also as a great way of recyling all the scraps from the kitchen.

Mother has 4 hens and giving there eggs away is so wonderful. People are really grateful. The difference between the fresh egg from a happy chicken and a battery farm is dramatic. I need to have a fresh poached egg for breakfast now...

"Spec" is probably derived from "Speck", as it's called here in Germany.

Ah, spring. Long way to go.

Asparagus is amazing. I'm not a huge egg person, but I might try this. I don't eat poached eggs often and I think I would like them in this dish.

2009-10-29T04:35:23.457+11:00

I live in the country and only eat farm fresh eggs. They are like jewels in contrast to factory eggs. Jewels of dark rich orange flavor. yum.
When you start to think about the way farm hens are treated in comparison with factory hens you have to wonder how you ever put a factory egg in your mouth. They are stuffed into the smallest of small cages their beaks cut off so they can't peck one another to death because they are all invading their own personal space. They can't roost or dig or relax their poor legs... and then you put that stress right into your mouth via an egg. yuk

to test the true freshness of an egg, crack it into a bowl. And pick up the yolk wt your fingers in a pinch style. fresh egg yolk wont tear but remain whole. Nice pics.

Hello from Vancouver BC....back yard hens that peck at wild things in the ground and eat what is traditional for a chicken gives you a taste of real! Our mayor has passed a bylaw where by each household can keep 2 hens for eggs. A sane idea!
Great combination your dish, what is spec?

2009-10-29T01:25:54.713+11:00

I can identify totally with what you're saying. I've been looking after 5 chickens for our neighbours and they let me keep the eggs. They taste wonderful. I love the fact that I know where they come from. I'd never tasted an egg laid on the same day before. I only eat organic eggs anyway. If only battery farming would/could stop altogether.

Which came first, the chef or the neg. ?
A cook who snaps or a snapper who cooks ?

Both top class.

Lynne's Somewhat Invented Life- spec is heavily smoked, cured pork belly. It is typically much less sweet than American bacon. If you cannot find any, get a few slices of bacon from the deli counter, and ask for them to be cut about 1/4 inch thick. You can then cut these into little "sticks" that are 1/4 inch thick x 1/4 inch wide x 1 inch tall (height of the bacon slice). These little "sticks" of bacon or pork or spec are called lardons.

I get my eggs from a small farm about 10 minutes from my house and you're right -- it's like it's a totally different food from the eggs one finds in the supermarket. Meanwhile, your egg photo is perfect...if ever there was a single photo to evoke the meaning of "food porn," this is it.
