- Perhaps I shouldn't be responding since I don't know for sure, but
- I've always heard that the grades (AA, A, B) referred to how closely the
- yolk is centered in the egg. Thus, with AA eggs, the yolk is right in the
- center, while with grade B eggs, it can be pretty close to the shell.
- If this is true, then the grade of the egg shouldn't make any
- difference in taste (or so it seems to me).
- Can anyone confirm or deny this?
