British Egg Week takes place from October 10-17 this year, with the theme ‘Put an Egg On It’ set to encourage consumers to experiment with eating eggs in more unusual ways.

As part of the celebrations, British Lion eggs is staging an egg themed street food takeover at leading venue Hawker House in London, where street food chef Seb Holmes, owner of Farang London, will be serving a collection of modern Thai street food inspired egg dishes from the Put An Egg On It stand.

Chef Seb Holmes will also be inspiring consumers to cook his collection of six Thai street food inspired egg recipes at home by publishing the recipes online at www.eggrecipes.co.uk(link is external).

Consumers can get involved by using the hashtag #PutAnEggOnIt which has been created to run in conjunction with the campaign and inspire interaction from consumers, caterers, food manufacturers and retailers on social media.
