Eggs

 I don't consume a lot of eggs so I was pleasantly surprised, given recent publicity, to buy half-a-dozen eggs at the vegetable shop I am starting to frequent (Woodend) for less than $1 per egg.

I admit to a personal preference for "farm fresh" eggs. My preference is for all of the shells to stay in my fingers when the egg introduces itself to the frypan.

The eggs I bought were dark shelled, of various sizes but neither tiny nor massive and all had strong yellow yolks.

They went down well - I can't say the same about the bacon. Hellers = YUCK!

A day later I was in the supermarket and noticed eggs in 6s starting, for pigeon eggs by the look of them, at about $1.35 per egg. Most were at least $1.50. each.

My guess is because of this a significant number of people will be going without eggs.

They should shop in Woodend.
