I must confess that in my formative years there was no way I would eat a brown egg. I like to entertain the notion that I am more open these days.

I never saw a brown egg in the house during my childhood. I remember my mother saying they cost more, which made no sense to her. Possibly people thought they were "natural" unbleached eggs or something, and were healthier.

Actually in my mid atlantic suburban WASP wildlife refuge brown eggs cost much less, if you could even find them. But nobody wanted to be seen buying them.

So someone explain to me, why exactly would you buy a brown egg? I'm not saying that's a bad thing...but surely since they are sold, people buy them. They must have a reason. When staring at white eggs vs brown eggs...what is going through their heads? Aside of whichever is cheaper.
If the price was the same, why would you pick the brown vs. the white, and vice versa?
Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Why has this question never occurred to me before?
I have bought brown eggs, but it seems in retrospect to have been either by mistake, or because the store was out of white eggs.
I have no prejudice against brown eggs--they taste exactly the same as white--but perhaps I've been unconsciously mimicking my mother's egg-shopping example.
They do cost the same, don't they? I haven't checked in ages.

I just figured that the genetic engineers had bred all of the inefficiency out of the egg laying chicken, so any melanoidins in the egg shell were just so much wasted energy.

There's absolutely no difference in taste. As a kid, I grew up on a farm in Arkansas and most of our hens laid brown eggs, but we'd get some white ones, as well. As an adult, I still tend to buy brown eggs only because it's what I'm used to. As I pointed out in the poll, white eggs just look naked to me.

Dipping is more thorough.

yeah I suppose you can add the various different colors like in the Paaz easter egg dye. That could be fun.

Crosspost of what I said in the egg poll:
I insist on cage free eggs, and these always seem to be brown. I think egg producers have decided on a once size fits all egg to cover all the niche preferences (brown, cage free, organic).

Stupid nigger eggs just sit there in the refrigerator waiting to be eaten. A nice white egg would have the dignity to try and escape.

Long ago, I worked on a small farm that had a mix of chicken breeds. We had white, brown, blue and green eggs. They were all the same on the inside.
Buy what's cheaper per ounce.
Size Mass per egg
Jumbo Greater than 2.5 oz. (71g)
Extra Large (XL) Greater than 2.25 oz. (64g)
Large (L) Greater than 2 oz. or (57g)
Medium (M) Greater than 1.75 oz. (50g)

Another factor to keep in mind is how often you refer to written recipes. As a rule, most cookbooks assume or specify large eggs. If you do a lot of cooking from published recipes, it's best to use the same size of egg.

Chickens also make good pets outside the house. Much more useful than a dog or cat. They keep the pests out of the garden and lawn, will eat the weeds from the lawn and leave the grass nicely fertilized and can wake you up in the morning and sing you to sleep at night.
And when they get too old, you can "retire" them to the stew pot. Now where did I leave that hatchet hanging???
