Chicken and the Egg - Which Comes First?

Ah, the age old question.
Well, which comes first in your heart anyway.
Anyone who has seen Jurassic Park will realize that eggs have been around a lot longer than chickens...

The real question is - what are you going to cook up this week?

Will you be doing a roast chicken for the family? A frittata for the one you love? Chicken or egg salad for your lunch box? Or maybe you are thinking fancy - a soufflé, or chicken liver paté.

Choose a chicken or egg dish from one of Jamie Oliver's recipes - in his books or online - cook it up and post on or by Sunday, April 24th.

Link your post up with Mr. Linky, below, and leave a comment after so we don't miss your delicious dish!
