      Yes. We usually rather give people money to buy food locally than ship sacks of rice across the world. With the US simply having no eggs of their own, though, that’s of course not an option.

      Occasionally, we ship some to Ireland to cause a political ruckus there. Sadly couldn’t find any pictures of the famed EU cheese, but have some rice.

      Oh it’s real. There was a big fundraiser at my sons school, with each kid bringing about a dozen eggs.

      This was after a documentary on tv which moved a lot of people called “un oeuf is not enough” showing american families not able to afford eggs

        Here in the Midwest we generally have our family egg for lunch on Sunday. Ever since Grandad passed we’ve been able to make thicker slices, but Sissy’s little one is getting to the age that we’re going to have to go back to thinner slices soon. We’re just fortunate that we’re able to get our weekly egg, so we’re not complaining.
