EGGS FOR BRITAIN

Sir,—Mr G. C. Warren says that in every instance known to him both fat and eggs arrived in England in had condition. I have packed eggs in dripping and both have arrived in perfect condition, giving great joy to the recipient. I sent my method, which was and is a great success, to “Consumer Time” and I hope many persons will have the same success. It takes time to prepare, lots of fat and few eggs. My limit is eight eggs in 71b of dripping. It is rather difficult to get them out, but well worth the trouble. — Yours, etc.,

(Mrs) LILIAN EDMONDS. July 24, 1947.

Sir,—l see by “The Press” this morning that Mr Warren says eggs packed in fat have been arriving in bad condition. From my own experience I can assure those who wish to send eggs that all 1 have sent have arrived in perfect condition. When the fat is cool but still soft I press one egg into it and allow the fat to close over it, adding a little more. Then another egg, and so on. I fill the tin to the top, cover it with the lid. and p&ste linen over the top and well down the sides. I am told the eggs are exactly like fresh ones.—Yours, etc., WELL TRIED. July 24, 1947.
