Comment on Farm Fresh Eggs vs Conventional Factory Farm Eggs – a Photographic Comparison by Katie

Katie — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:13:38 +0000

It is a really informative posting and has nice photos making easy to understand. I haven’t been eating farm fresh eggs, but it looks healthier and more delicious than conventional eggs. However, I’m still wondering what is the difference between farm fresh eggs and conventional ones except color, thickness, and size? How about the health aspect?

Comment on Farm Fresh Eggs vs Conventional Factory Farm Eggs – a Photographic Comparison by Jeff

Interesting article and nice photos. I’ve been buying Farmhouse brand eggs at HEB which have words like “cage-free” and “natural” on the packaging. But I suspect there’s still a big difference btwn these more fancy factory eggs and the eggs from small, local farms. I’ll get some farmers market eggs soon and make a comparison. Thanks for the info!

It is a great post and has lots of imformation! I heard Japanese in Hawaii are one of the major and most influential ethnic groups in Hawaii. So, I think there are Japanese influenced foods in Hawaii, and Origini is the one of it. I like Origini, and there are various kinds of flavors Also, interestingly there are spam menus in McDonald’s! I haven’t been in Hawaii, but I will try all of things that you mentioned

Nice to see Okinawa Sweet Potato in this blog entry! I like it and this tastes not as like normal sweet potato. I also found it at Central Market (it is a little bit expensive…)but did not know it is also available in Hong Kong Market. I did not find it at Korean Market, but I saw japanese sweet potato and it is also savory Anyway, I like this blog!! It is nice to know about food in Austin!

I’ve been to Franklin BBQ once and I can’t wait to get back!! My brisket sandwich was wonderful, but my husband swears that his pulled pork sandwich was better than my brisket. Next up will be the ribs!

Comment on Random Wine of the Week – Marques de Gelida Cava by Yvonne

We are celebrating our 50th and just had this wine with our entire 3 course meal which included French onion soup, salad, veges and Chateau Briand at Bern’s Steak House in Tampa. It was excellent and smooth. Of course it was more expensive there, but less than others. We do like wines from Spain and are really delighted with this refreshing Cava. We hope to find it around Orlando. We will definitely buy this again, especially for the summers in Florida!.

Comment on Mantis Prawn – You Ate What? / Overseas Bizarre Fooding by Max Vanderheyden

Great Picture! I only had my iphone on me when I ate Mantis Shrimp in Hong Kong so it is certainly not my best food photo, but before I leave here I intend to get it again and take some photos which do it justice. One of the great things about ordering sea food in Hong Kong is that they often bring the fish or crustacean to your table for you to see and approve of before they cook it. Check out my blog to see more about eating in Hong Kong and the crazy foods I am making it my missions to find.

I love Franklin BBQ. And I love the Tipsy Texan sandwich. Oh yeah… that’s my sandwich! Originally it came garnished with a rib, but they only do ribs by the rack or half rack right now to keep them from drying out. Some day…

Beautiful pics and glad you enjoyed. I went a bit later in the day and dined on some lovely brisket (especially enjoyed the crispy ends) along with their sides and banana pudding. The only item I wasn’t so into was the sausage…too crumbly. I love the staff, the atmosphere, everything about Franklin!
