Good to see the debate still raging between the cebollistas and anti-cebollistas. (On the matter of onions)There has been a lot of discussion about the best styles of tortilla in another thread recently. I ate a lot of it - good, bad and just ok - in the last month myself! I just saw this article on the BBC website. I hadn't known that government guidelines for making it were quite so specific.

This was my exact experience a few years ago. It was so tragic I haven't attempted again.My first effort (in 1992) at making a 'simple' tortilla ended in tears of desperation
You,Betanzos, on the Camino Inglés, is famous for making tortillas just how I like them. With onions and wet, the only way to make them!
Very interesting and not surprising about salmonella. I would never eat a runny egg tortilla. Yucky and clearly a potential health hazard. For me, a solid (as a brick!) tortilla de patatas cooked with onion is the classic version. The runny version must be something “new.” In over 60 years spending time in Spain off and on, I don’t recall encountering runny tortillas.There has been a lot of discussion about the best styles of tortilla in another thread recently.

Life is hazardous, indeed it's been suggested that it is a terminal disease. Runny eggs never harmed anyone. Undercooked, salmonella infested egg mixtures - now that's another issueclearly a potential health hazard.
To begin with you need very fresh eggs from Spain, not the frozen since the last decade type that are sold as fresh eggs in the grocery stores in the US.
I've regularly frozen egg whites. I'm told it's also possible to freeze whole eggs by beating the eggs first, but I've never tried it.People freeze Eggs!
Is that even possible?
More likely they make egg powder if they do. Yes, the US govt does buy surplus food items as a form of price supports like milk, peanut butter, cheese, even honey at times. They used to distribute these commodities to low income individuals and families in communities once a month or so. I haven't seen that in several years though. Milk was turned into milk powder to preserve it so I would think eggs might be treated the same way.I am not sure if I am repeating an "urban myth" but I believe I have read that the USDA buys excess eggs production for from the large producers to support the market for eggs in the US and then puts them in large freezer facilities and sells in bulk to grocery chains during shortages. Not sure?
Yes it is possible. I buy eggs from a local farm cooperative and often freeze some. Just scramble an egg in a bowl and pour into an ice cube tray. I use a tray with just six large wells that can hold up to two eggs each. When they are frozen I pop them out and put them in a vacuum bag. You can add salt or sugar depending upon the final use of the egg. They work just fine in baking as well as scrambled eggs and tortilla etc.People freeze Eggs!

The noble art of chicken husbandry. Long may it last!If you want good eggs, buy hens. Let them range in the bits of the garden that don't have very young plants. Feed them your leftovers, as well as a good mix of cereals. I cook rice for mine as a special treat. They like it with tomato sauce.
