據(jù)英國《每日郵報》報道，酒店廚師詹姆斯·徹奇日前發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個非常規(guī)則的圓形雞蛋，據(jù)悉，這種雞蛋的存在幾率僅為十億分之一。事情經(jīng)過是這樣的：詹姆斯正要打破蛋殼給位于英國紐基的比里斯托爾酒店的客人們做煎蛋，結果發(fā)現(xiàn)這枚蛋并不是他常見的橢圓形狀。“作為廚師我已經(jīng)打破了至少10萬個雞蛋了，但我從來沒見過這樣的，”他說。

After eight years preparing full English breakfasts, chef James Church knows an all-round good egg when he sees one.

Which is why he stopped himself consigning this remarkable specimen to the frying pan.

Mr Church, 27, spotted the spherical oddity among a box full of otherwise regularly-shaped free-range eggs delivered to the Hotel Bristol in Newquay, Cornwall by a local supplier.

"I've probably cracked at least 100,000 eggs in my time as a chef but I've never seen one like this,"  he said.

"I stood for a few moments in awe. I called everyone in the kitchen over and they stood around it too, because they had never seen anything like it either."

"I've put it in a protective case so I don't get it mixed up with any others by mistake."

"I managed to save it from the frying pan so I'm definitely going to keep it."

John Retson, chairman of the British Free Range Egg Producers' Association, said he was amazed by the round egg. The 58-year-old, who has 55,000 birds at his farm in Perthshire said: "I have never seen a completely round egg in my life."

Asked what might have caused the phenomenon, he added: "It might be that when the egg was forming it got held up in the Fallopian tubes."

"This can be caused by stress or a variety of other reasons. But if it gets held up it becomes misshapen."
