Eggs…

In Australia, if you find yourself wondering around a grocery store somewhere near the bakery or bread aisle, you might be surprised by what you find next to the bread. Well, maybe you wouldn’t but I sure was because in Australia eggs are kept at room temperature and they are often located next to the bread. I shake my head every time I’m in the local IGA and I see crates of eggs sitting at room temperature. It seems so strange to see hundreds of eggs sitting out … shouldn’t they be in a fridge? Who decided that it would be best to leave them out and why haven’t they shared their secret with any grocery store in Canada? It seems very odd to me.

After you have wrapped your head around this whole room temperature egg concept you also might begin to think that maybe these eggs are cheaper than eggs in North America. Possibly because these eggs don’t require refrigerated transport or storage. If you thought that then you’d be wrong because a dozen eggs, here in Perth, will cost you more than $6.00 AUD. I’m sure they can be found for cheaper but at present I do not have a vehicle so my local IGA is where I shop.
Enjoy your eggs!
