Egg Sizes in Europe and United States

[Shel_B]

This morning I was reading some recipes the origin of which was France.  These recipes called for large eggs.  Are large eggs in France and Europe the same size as large eggs here in the U.S?  I vaguely recall reading that the eggs in Great Britain are sized differently than eggs here.

While I applaud your searching prowess and general acumen, I like to post questions here rather than just looking them up on line because, if I have a question, others might have a similar question.  In addition, sometimes a discussion about the subject ensues, and interesting bits of information are brought forth.  What's the point of having this forum if not for discussion and to learn.

 

And then there's that clever and somewhat condescending response by Kerry Beal and your subsequent follow up.  My oh my, what smart and quick-witted people you are.  Definitely something to learn here and to emulate.
