I've never liked the taste of boiled eggs that much in Thailand, also not the taste of "free- range eggs" or the "cage-free eggs".

Is it the different food that's being given to the chickens here? 

Taste same as eggs always have to me.😉

Only difference for me is how small they are here. 

In case you don't know, some of the boiled eggs in Thailand are duck eggs. They look almost the same as chicken eggs.

Mostly the duck eggs are white outside, and the chicken eggs brown.

I prefer duck eggs. I am sure they have a different taste.

  You might want to buy your eggs elsewhere if you like the larger variety.  Thai GF buys ours at a local farmer's market - humongous eggs.  Can even buy them with double yolk in every egg (now that tastes a little too "eggy" for me, if that makes any sense.)

 

  But I'm with you.....eggs here generally don't taste any different than other eggs.  (Then again, I liberally salt my boiled eggs prior to consumption.)

We generally get from the supermarket as the wife doesn't trust the local market at all, she says "you don't know what they've done to them or how old they are" she's the same with local veg "don't trust what chemicals they've used" I don't argue with the Chef! 😉

  Mine goes to the market for the exact opposite reason - so she can purchase as much organic food as possible.

free range and cage free eggs are given the same diet ,,, mostly grains / soy    im some case given access to outdoor sunshine

very little natural diet ( insects )  just look at the yolk color  pale light yellow ?  or vibrant orange ..?

 try duck eggs , they are exceptionaly good and carry way more nutrition,,,  

eat 3-4 duck eggs vs 5-6 chicken eggs

Sadly, after a lot of other nonsense, now we are talking about the taste of 🥚 🥚😕(from 🐔 /🦆)

I agree, duck eggs are generally bigger and more tasty.

 

Normally I can tell the difference between chicken and duck eggs because the duck eggs has a blue tinge to the shell. ie... 

 

Boiled eggs from 7-11 are fine. 

Just keep an eye on the expiry date. 

I eat eggs every day in Thailand and I honestly say I cannot feel much difference. A little, yes, due to insects and feed NOT the same as in Europe. 

Haven't noticed any difference in eggs, worldwide.  Better here than USA, as yolks have more color, so read nutritionally better here.   

 

Eat 2 large (-0-) scrambled eggs almost every day, first meal, and possibly more later on.  Good source or protein, cholesterol along with cooked in olive oil & butter.  Lots of omelets when wanting a full meal.  Will add them to a salad.  

 

We go through about 30 eggs every 10 days, if not sooner,  2 different nutritional charts.

You will know the difference if you wake in the morning and start clucking but are you sure you are not quackers !

sorry could not resist no offence ment, but as has already been said Duck eggs are far richer, more nutritious and larger.

Nothing better than boiled eggs with homemade mayonnaise!
