Visiting from Laurie’s linky today where we’re sitting together.

You’re most welcome to join me in a cuppa at Tea With Jennifer

Thank you for your comment. Yes, that is right that it is just air between the shell and membrane that makes them float.  Very good!  Now, how did the air get there?  The air isn’t atmospheric, but a byproduct of bacteria decomposing the egg itself.  So, no, it is not safe to eat these eggs.  Also, I am not sure how pioneer food storage is a good comparison.  I recommend doing more research on the diseases that many of the pioneers had to live with.  Those who didn’t die had to live with the worst cases of different issues as they traversed an American landscape.  Hence, the need to invent the refrigerator. I digress. I can’t in good conscience tell my readers to eat something that would most likely make them sick.
