History, tradition and origin
Eggs are the centre of breakfast in much of the world. The cooked breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage and beans is a British and Irish institution. Poached eggs with ham and butter sauce were created in New York in the late 1800s. The French made the omelette and the souffle tests of a cook's skill, and the egg and bacon tart comes from Lorraine.
Food economy and industry
The world produces well over a trillion eggs a year. Housing for hens is changing, with many countries and retailers moving from cages to cage-free systems. Outbreaks of bird flu periodically reduce flocks and push egg prices up. Bacon and breakfast sausage are major products of the pork industry.
