re: #276 Jadespring

Many food safety regulations are good things in my eyes too.

Not all though. I have a big peeve against the regs against selling eggs at markets. :)

The UK has some regulations on selling eggs that I have a problem with.

I always thought of eggs as cheap food— scrambled eggs, egg salad, eggs as a binding ingredient when you bread, quiche, whatever.
I’m used to buying a dozen eggs for a dollar or so (yes, factory hens, I know, etc)

I can’t buy a dozen eggs in scotland for under say 2.50 GBP. That’s almost 4 dollars USD.

I haven’t looked into this, but I think what Jimmah said was that they’ve jacked up the price on even factory farmed eggs to force people to buy the non-battery hens ones.
It’s very weird.
