The border between Mexico and America has a long history of bootleggers, drug traffickers and gun runners. Now egg smugglers can be added to that list.

I got down to my last egg like a month ago and keep thinking about when and how I should use it. Technically I could afford to buy more but it’s the principle of the thing; not so much about not being a Spoiled American but I really don’t want to support the companies price gouging these things. But I was also making a loaf of challah almost every week and I don’t think my flax meal substitute will work for that…
My solitary, lonely egg. Just chillin in the fridge.
Maybe I should start my morning with an egg sandwich tomorrow.
A very good and principled reason. I think you should have that egg sandwich in the morning!
A good egg replacement is fish. Canned fish can do if you can stomach it. Also artisanal cheeses like Brie or Camembert (I’m sure local American farmers make some). It’s hard to replace eggs properly, they are nature’s vitamin boosters.
A friend of mine has sworn by canned sardines for years.
They are great! I prefer canned herring, but sardine is a very close second.
Some of them are really good. The aversion to canned fish is largely very American and I don’t understand where it comes from. There are a wide variety of canned fishes out there; it’s not all Bumblebee tuna.
And they make a fantastic food for your emergency supplies if you are in a disaster-prone area.
We have cut back on our egg usage but I have a vegetarian daughter who doesn’t like beans, and eggs are a significant part of her diet. Obviously she doesn’t eat fish. I have a severe lactose intolerance so there aren’t many cheeses I eat, and even when I do eat something like Gouda or feta it is very small amounts. Also I’ve never seen local brie or Camembert, my wife would love if there was.
I could suggest buying quails and eating their eggs. My friend did this and the quails fit in a small wood cabin (as small as a dog house). She had fresh eggs everyday. They are low maintenance compared to chickens.
Most people don’t consider eggs to be vegetarian. Especially the ones who are vegetarian for animal welfare reasons.
You are wrong. I’ve met many vegetarians that ate eggs and fish. Vegetarians are not a monoliths.
At that point you’re basically vegan
