I just bought what turned out to be a British cookbook on cakes. The recipes are calling for "size 3 egg" or "size 4 egg". I assume these are large or extra large eggs, as they are classified here in the US, but I would like to confirm this if anyone can help me out. Thanks!

sounds like you got an old cookbook

Brilliant, thanks much!

The cookbook is actually very new, published in the past couple of years - perhaps they weren't planning to export it?

I wonder if it has anything to do with the EU regulations. They seem to be changing everything. I just read that acres will now be hectares.
