That's $3 for 15 eggs. Sadly not free-range, only cage-free.

Not sure if this is the best community for this post, does anyone have a better suggestion?

Ägg is not what I expected the Swedish word for egg to be.

[–] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 3 points 5 months ago

Ä is the swedish way of writing ae: "aegg". Basically identical to the english pronunciation, but the vowel is a little higher in the mouth.

Apparently the English pronunciation is actually adopted from the norse word, instead of the older "Ei" germanic etymology. If English hadn't adopted the Norse pronunciation, it would be closer to "Ey".

Ohhh, siracha. My Edeka only has those really tiny scam-bottles, and only one type.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Do they have any vastly superior hot sauces for sale?

Sorry I'm being a dick but I really don't get the Sriracha love. Now crispy chili oil from the same company, hell yeah.

3 for 15 isn't bad

We are at $6 for 12 and that is for the cheap eggs

[–] M137@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

The idea of the post is that they aren't expensive here. The past few weeks, seeing all the price of eggs in the US memes and then I see this at my local store. It's right by the entrence and a weekly deal, it seems consciously done, haha. Like "those silly Americans, well show that we don't have any egg problems here."

Yea but we're talking American eggs here. They just cost more for some reason that we can't seem to find out why.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

American eggs are refrigerated so therefore they have a much shorter shelf life.
