Point is, it’s not necessary for them to be. It’s really easy to not eat them for breakfast every morning (which it seems people apparently do…this is not an experience I’ve had at any point in my life, so i don’t know. I usually have cereal or a bagel or nothing), and they are easily replaced in recipes, in many cases by things that are cheaper than eggs are now.
If eggs are a staple, that means they’re (or they have been) easy. I am saying it’s easy for them NOT to be a staple. I understand it’s a mindset thing. But people would rather complain about the price of eggs and insist that they need them rather than opening their minds and looking for alternatives/replacements. Human nature, I guess.
I tried the cool hand Luke 50 hard boiled eggs once as a wager (long time ago).
Got to 35. The 35th took longer to choke down than the previous 34 combined! There’s a limit to the solid material you can pack in there. And hard boiled eggs are solid!
I owed some money after that, but my friends did legit feel sorry for me.
Don’t try it… even if you can afford the eggs.
It’s to the point where I legitimately cannot tell if this is real or onion. I’m serious. The article is hilarious either way, so maybe it doesn’t even matter?
