A while back we went to the mountains with a Moroccan engineer who kindly invited us to tour the countryside. It was a clear warm Sunday, and we all had an enjoyable time taking in the sights and discussing Morocco's future. He spotted a group of village women along the road and recognized immediately that they were there to sell their small bunches of herbs and eggs. We purchased a few eggs from a very gracious village woman who was there with children and relatives. Most of the eggs usually available to us are from factory farms; but these were true "Bayd Beldi" (eggs from free-range chickens). We love the way the woman packed them in straw for the journey home. Sure enough, they were very fresh, had bright orange yolks, and were noticeably tastier than the commercial ones.
