As for freshness - if you drop the eggs in a pot with water and they sink to the ground they are good. If they swim atop they are not good anymore. More gas, less egg white /yolk inside (shrank).

I didnt even think of doing that at the time, Eva. I now recall being aware of that from school lessons (or TV science programs) ... but , no, I just dumped the lot. Not sure if I would have risked it even if I had thought of it.
