Put it in the microwave and see what happens. You won’t regret it.

Want me to send an emergency egg delivery? No-one can survive on a single egg - the minimum one should have in is half a dozen.

Assume that's for single people. We get nervous if we're on our last fifteen.

Fifteen? It's always highly questionable if people have odd numbers of eggs in.

Lidl and Aldi sell eggs in fifteens.

And Asda and Morrisons and Tesco and Sainsbury’s

Dunno. Can't afford posh shops.

That's just full of wrongness.

For some reason I'd feel really uncomfortable having an odd number of eggs in. Don't know why.

I always buy 15. It’s usually 15 assorted sizes vs 12 large/medium/small. I can never decide which size is best value, and the 15 is normally cheaper per egg anyway because they don’t have to sort them.

Yes please. I don't know how it got so bad.

Get two packs then

 

[StoneRoad]

Been gradually stocking up over the past few months.

We now have a reasonable stockpile of most things, just in case we can't get either our normal deliveries or to the shops ourselves.
Weather is also a factor, given how relatively isolated / high up / far north where we are living.
Currently on deliveries until a) after we've all been jabbed twice plus four weeks ; and b) our local case rate drops back to well below the national average.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Yes please. I don't know how it got so bad.

PM me your address. I'll try and package them to prevent breakages.

There was an egg shortage in our local Coop, in desperation went around to the farm shop, got a tray of 2 dozen for only a few pence more than would have been in Coop. Excellent result in that many of the farm eggs have been double-yoked.

Do you eat your eggs 2 at a time? Otherwise you'll have an odd number each time you eat one.

Half a dozen at a time like any normal.

Chocolate buttons? Chocolate buttons are running out? Fuck.

I don’t eat them really, but I’d hate to not be able to. I’d better stock up!!!

Forget bitcoin, chocolate buttons will become the post-pandemic everyday means of exchange. Get hoarding.

Yeah, Bitcoin is no good to me. I’m not a paedophile or a drug dealer.

Yes bitcoin is sleazy, you wouldn't give your nephews and nieces bitcoin on their birthdays.

I don't think I'd be any good at hoarding chocolate buttons.

There would need to be a way of turning fat back into chocolate buttons for the currency to really take off.

Chocolate is shit so I'm sure you could manage that.

I read a trifle recipe the other day and it went: "put the pieces of leftover cake in a bowl and pour over the jelly mix." Leftover cake?

Interestingly, egg production and supply appears to have been totally unaffected by the pandemic last year:

Quarterly UK statistics about eggs.

I think the Co-op are just shit.

I like the fact that they collect stats on this.

Likewise, the existence of the National Egg Council is lovely. I also like the National Bee Unit.

But the British Potato Council has closed.

Stop it. Why would anywhere sell eggs that weren't in dozens or half dozens? Absolute madness!!
