to think that eggs are a normal staple food to buy?

[annieapple2]

Random little question that keeps poping up: Is it normal to buy eggs in your normal shopping? I always have done but a number of my friends don't bother.

Eggs are healthy and often make a quick lunch for DS....scrambled, boiled, omelet and then they are all the things like cooking cakes etc.
Is it odd to normally buy eggs?

Not odd at all. We always have eggs in for cakes healthy quick meals.

I always have eggs in, loads of variety of things you can do with them, I like to have some in.

not odd, I always buy eggs too.

I get eggs delivered on a monday and a friday. Would feel lost if i didnt have any eggs in the house

Er, no! That is quite random. I buy eggs all the time.

I always have a dozen eggs or so in. For the exact same reasons as Gwendoline

always, if you've got eggs, you've got a meal!

Always got eggs.

If its odd to buy eggs I am odd too. They are very versitile :)

i've never considered them a staple no... we've never really eaten many eggs (except in cake)

but i wouldn't think it odd that other people do

Plese tell us more about your friends. In what way are eggs unusual?

Then again if I lived alone I would rarely buy bread, I have friends who rarely have milk, and these are standard (even cliched) 'staples'.

:o

Unfortunately, DH does insist on using eggs to actually eat so I am all too familiar with the sinking feeling of opening the empty egg box and realising that it'll have to be flapjacks again...

always have eggs in my house, and relace as they run out, a bit like other essentials. i dont always have bread however.

I usually have eggs in, and do use them in cakes etc, but don't often have them for a meal/snack as ds isn't very keen on them.

I've usually got eggs in as I do like baking.
But I can see why people don't. They're quite expensive now. I know most of us are aware about battery farming etc and will perhaps be put off buying the cheap eggs, the free range or organic eggs are quite pricey.

i dont eggs and never have but i buy them every week for the dcs.

french toast, omelette, scrambled, boiled, poached, fried, baking, the list goes on.

actually last night i fancied something really quick so made linguine and the most amazing sauce for it. 1 egg yolk bit of cream some lemon juice and cheese and just pored it over my pasta. Was amazing and so quick cos you dont cook the sauce (nigella recipe)

i dont eat eggs!

I get twitchy if I have no eggs in the house.

I was brought up in a house where there were always eggs in if anyone fancied some (or felt a sudden urge to bake) so i just automatically do it now I have a house of my own.

I eat a lot of eggsnow that I am on IPD (Idiot Proof Diet) but I always had some anyway, either from friends with hens/ducks or picked them up in local shop.

My DD and I love eggs and I bake too.

Now, I dont eat Cereal very often so I have to rely on the children to tell me when that is running low finished

I don't touch them as I can't condone the killing of day old chicks or the treatment of hens in the egg industry.

My children are lifelong lacto/ovo vegetarians but I no longer buy eggs for them either.

YANBU. I had an egg and bacon sandwich for lunch. T'was lovely.

We always have eggs in. I love them done anyway and DD2 is starting to like them more. They are so versatile as well.

DH and I don't like eggs so never buy them unless I feel like making a cake.

Have about 187 million in the fridge at the moment though because MIL ended up with loads for some reason. Have tried scrambled eggs with ds but he hated it. Will see if he will eat boiled eggs later on today.

I would never not have eggs, milk and bread in the house, I wouldn't wait till they run out to top up either. Just isn't right!
