Local prices for imported eggs from Avian Flu infected countries like Tailand and China are reported to have doubled for a reported shortage of supply.
As if anyone were rushing to stock up on these eggs except for the importers and wholesalers who are in reality stuck with them.
The Lady was in Macau over the weekend. Her friends were telling her that there was a real shortage of eggs in Macau, and most shops only had a few dozens left in stock.
Not like anyone couldn’t just walk across to Zhuhai (10 minutes on the bus, 5 minutes’ walk) and bring some eggs back.
I wouldn’t mind giving up eggs for the duration as I find it much harder to fully cook an egg than a whole chicken and still taste good.
