aha. cartons it is. often takes me a long time to get through a carton of 10 eggs (Europeans sell eggs in cartons of six, ten and sometimes eighteen, but I have almost never seen them sold by the dozen)

Same here in China. Always in tens, never in dozens. Some not even packed in cartons, but in little plastic bags. And in some busy markets, not even refrigerated, because where I used to live in Hunan, the eggs were locally produced. Took me a while to get used the idea of unrefrigerated eggs (other than the supermarket’s A/C).
