Commentary for Berakhot 88:8
א"ר ינאי א"ר כל שהוא כביצה ביצה טובה ממנו כי אתא רבין אמר טבא ביעתא מגולגלתא משיתא קייסי סולתא כי אתא רב דימי אמר טבא ביעתא מגולגלתא משיתא מטויתא מארבע מבושלתא כל שהוא כביצה ביצה טובה הימנו לבר מבשרא:
R. Jannai said in the name of Rab : Any food [whose minimum standard is the size of] an egg, the egg is superior to it [as nourishment]. When Rabin came he said : Better is a light-roasted egg than six measures of fine flour. When Rab Dimai came he said: Better is a light-roasted egg than six [measures of fine flour] and a hard-baked egg than four. Of a boiled egg [it is said], any food [whose minimum is the size of] an egg, the egg is superior to it [as nourishment] with the exception of meat.
