Don’t you mean eggscellent???

Here’s the “yolkfan” some companies apparently use to pick the color they are going for. When I traveled I was getting yolks at the extreme end of yellow-orange. DSM means something different to me!

I have to admit that though I could not taste the difference, when I saw a Perdue chicken next to a Giant Foods or a Safeway chicken, the golden Perdue bird looked a LOT BETTER than the grey’ish white generic bird.
Then a few years back my niece bought a half dozen of these hens and one rooster. When it came time to butcher the older birds I was kind of surprised to find that they were not grey’ish white like the Giant Foods birds, they were kind of purple.

My usual brown Jumbos went up to $6.99 today, but another brand was just $4.99.

It was all about the visuals, not the taste - and it was successful. Along with “it takes a tough man to make a tender chicken.” And, I think there used to be little label tags tied around the wings.

This morning, Costco had packs of 24 for $7.69 so I grabbed a carton. It seems both Costcos local to me put out a limited quantity of eggs every day, certainly not enough to last all day. In the last few months, it seems like they sell out by noon or earlier.

Just saw on TV last night that bodegas in NYC are now selling egg Lucys for about a buck per.

It’s “loosies.” Because they’re loose, not in a carton.
I know the origin.
They’re also doing layaways.

That’s a good one, ‘Layaways’!
Report from the front lines of the egg wars: there is a line of about 60 people to buy eggs at the Grand St. Trader Joe’s. A woman kept stealthily trying to cut in front of me and I kept waving her back. And then a security guard booted her for trying to get eggs a second time.
It’s brutal out there!

A NY Times article follows up on the idea that it’s not really only bird flu that’s causing the price spikes. Gift link:
