Where can I purchase white shelled eggs in London?

Question

This is for dyeing Easter eggs - I found them at ASDA a couple of years ago but haven't seen any since. Thanks.

Answer 1

ducks eggs are usually white. good supermarkets may sell them, or organic stores. in london may be more difficult.

Answer 2

I've finally cracked it!

After years of hunting for the elusive white eggs for my children to paint at Easter and being fobbed off with having to use Duck Eggs (which when boiled are not as edible), I have finally found a rich source for fresh hen laid white eggs in London. White eggs can be bought on a stall each market day - Monday to Saturday at Ridley Road Market (off Kingsland Road) in Dalston, E8.

The lovely lady who runs the stall explained that she has been there for over 30 years and her dad used to run the pub opposite when she was a child. She imports the eggs each day fresh from Holland and services a demand from catering companies and Americans - where white eggs are still the norm.

Happy painting!

Answer 3

is so funny, I love brown eggs and when i am in the US, they have white eggs and the brown cost alot.

now that i am in London, brown eggs everywhere and white is like golden eggs.......

Actually, brown eggs give you a darker color and white gives you a pastal color. I like richer and darker color better. White eggs, you have to have heavy dyes to maintain the colors.

Answer 4

Most likely that you'll find them in a proper butchers shop or if they haven't, ask and they'll probably be able to get them in time.

Answer 5

They have some in Holland and Barret, and some of the health shops

Answer 6

Try a farmers market
