I get that the point is inflation, but why eggs? If they went to $12/dozen, it would cost me like $4 extra dollars per week.
42 a week, or 6 a day.
However, 30 eggs is only $3 where I live.
Probably about 6 to 8. Poached eggs on toast drizzled with sriracha and baked beans with a dollop of chipotle paste is my go to lunch.
Zero because I don’t have chickens and fuck animal abuse.
You fuck animal abuse?
You eat another species’ menstruation? Byyyyye
chickens don’t menstruate
Lol what? I didn’t say that. Are you suggesting that you eat human menstruation? I hope it’s at least consensual.
I don’t really eat eggs. I have ducks that lay eggs and if I really want some, I eat what they produce. I might try selling their eggs as a side hustle but a lot of people are grossed out by the concept of eating duck eggs for some reason lol
How are they compared to chicken eggs?
Mostly yolk, a richer flavor, and GREAT for baked goods. My girls are a variety of breeds, so I get an assortment of different sizes. Used to get blue eggs from my mallard until she stopped laying when she hit duck menopause lol
Richer flavor, they have higher levels of fat and protein. I much prefer them to chicken eggs.
8 per day so 56 per week; please keep them cheap
you eat 8 eggs EVERYDAY?
lol yep, every day for breakfast; scrambled with some butter, sour cream, salt and pepper 😋
Feta and jalapenos
Yum!
You ever try throwing some green onions or mushrooms in there? I used to eat almost the same except for the sour cream
I’ve mixed in different stuff over the years though I usually don’t as I’m after a quick and filling breakfast to get me through the work day
8 eggs for breakfast alone? Daily?
Correct. I have a minimal lunch and moderate supper with no snacks or desserts. Breakfast is my primary meal of the day.
If it’s your primary meal, why the lack of variety?
Gaston just doxed himself
We are chatting with a dead person’s sentient cholesterol.
Fun fact: the main source of cholesterol in the human body is said body’s liver.
Yet there are nutritional and behavioral actions that significantly affect blood cholesterol level and proportions.
Eggs are a great example, my understanding:
- eggs have a lot of cholesterol
- cholesterol is mostly broken down when you eat eggs - however is also a significant source of saturated fat
- liver “balances” blood cholesterol by making it and digesting it
- saturated fats, such as from eggs, increase liver production of cholesterol
LOL
Almost none. Allergies.
That sucks. Do you have to do egg free vaccines?
I’m vegan BTW
Yeah, but how many eggs do you eat? /s
How do you know if someone is vegan?
I’m pretty sure that’s the joke they’re making.
It doesn’t match up with my personal experience, but it’s the common view.
Literally everyone else in this thread: “I’m not vegan! I think it’s fine to abuse animals.” But yeah, vegans are the ones who are always talking about it…
no one is fine with abusing animals
I eat 3 eggs every morning. 21 a week.
Eggs are too expensive.
I haven’t had eggs since they were $2/dozen, so zero in like 8+ months, but when I have eggs (starting chickens and quail) I’ll be eating probably 2-4/day. When they were cheap I was averaging 3/day, including baked goods and such.
I really don’t eat much meat (can’t afford that either, but my digestive system doesn’t do well with a lot of meat anyway), and my mushroom cultures are taking foooooooorrrrrreeeeeeevvvvvvveeeerrrrr, so… need protein somewhere.
Tends to be around 4 per week, I’m just one person and eggs are usually a weekend breakfast thing for me.
But… I also try to budget meals to be close to $1, so I might just stop buying eggs if a dozen get to $6+ (around me they have been in the $5-$8 range for now)
Six; 42 a week! Easy way to hit my protein goals everyday and maintain those gains :D
Zero. I used to have a fried egg for lunch every day but many years ago something switched in my brain and now the flavor of them really puts me off.
When I was younger about 14 eggs a week. Now about 9.
Where I am eggs have only gone up about $0.20 in the last few months. Still under $6 per dozen for cage free eggs. Maybe $3.50 for caged eggs?
Most weeks maybe just un oeuf. I think since I stopped eating breakfast and found out my body hates gluten (so heavily reducing baked goods, my other main use of eggs), my egg consumption went way down. The one weekly is generally from going to get sushi and there being some tamagoyaki in there. I guess the odd exception is throwing one (boiled or raw) into soup and the rare occasion that I knock out a fried rice.
Edit: I think 10 local eggs are around 500 yen, at least the last time I checked. More expensive than non-local, and the price has definitely gone up generally in the last few years.
It’s not just inflation. Eggs are experiencing a supply problem due to avian flu.
