How are the prices of eggs impacting your life?
-
The Rotisserie chicken I just bought was cheaper than a dozen eggs. This raises a bunch of questions in my mind, and, to answer my first question - yes, cooking the chicken does prevent the spread of bird flu...
-
I have a pregnant wife who eats eggs every morning and it sucks. That and a ton of foods being prepped with eggs at some point makes the rest of food go up in price as well, I’d assume.
-
I've moved on to tofu scramble. Not as good but cheap as still pretty tasty.
-
They are delicious, and super cheap. And turns out there's even subscriptions for them. We bought 72 a couple days back for 15 euros at a local farm.
Eggs are awesome, they're making my breakfast and lunch easier and better
-
The chickens are impacted by the price. The cheaper the eggs the more miserable their life is. And for all you people who obviously don’t care: The more miserable the chicken the worse is the egg quality, due to stress and health problems.

Wonder how is tofu shakshuka?
-
USD$4.50 for 30 large eggs.
for context, i live in hong kong.
-
I have not bought any eggs in about a year or so. The price of food keeps increasing and this is one of the more egregious examples. Sure there's the bird flu outbreak, but I wouldn't be surprised if prices are being increased far beyond the actual cost.
-
Either I did get the pricing wrong or u are lucky indeed. Are you from south eu?
-
They should last for at least 6 weeks in the fridge!
-
"Last". Yes. In practice, I found eggs in a fridge age by weeks. I would still call them "fresh" within a week. After that, they don't taste as well. Another week after that, visual changes happen on the shell. I can see as if the fluid inside is "breaching" the membrane thus dark spots on the outside. This is the last stage I would still be willing to consume them. After that I would throw them away.

Got a recipe?
-
It doesn't?
-
No I posted this because I hear a lot of complaints but I'm a vegetarian and allergic to eggs. Don't make assumptions that are not there.
-
Probably got a little bit lucky but prices seems to have gone down, maybe people just refuse to buy them otherwise. I'm in the far north of EU. Really can't get much further north than here.

I just wing it honestly. I use firm/extra firm tofu and press it (put paper towels on both sides of the tofu and something heavy on top like a bowl of water and leave it for 15 minutes or so). The just fry it in maybe a tablespoon of oil with some seasoning. A little turmeric gives it a nice color and flavor.
Hash browns, onions and bell peppers go a long ways too if you have them around.
