Brace yourself for...CHICKEN WING SHORTAGE...

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

As for sheep ... there are places (W Virginny?) where they're considered ... you know ... family.

Around here, eggs in the store run from $1.29 to $1.99/dozen. (regular, non-hippie free-range organic eggs)

Eggs from local farmers/ranchers average around $4.00/dozen.

I was curious so checked my grocery app. Store brand cage-free eggs are $3/dozen. The fanciest "small farm organic" ones are $6.30/dozen! (The cheapest "tortured-bird" ones are $1.70). Farm stand ones are usually pretty pricey too, but also taste way better.

Why is there like an animal rights thing laced through this thread? I get not wanting to mistreat living things, no point in being unnecessarily cruel to random animals you encounter in day to day life, but there are definitely others that are culturally defined as food.

I don't know if you're actually asking a question? But it for me at least it has nothing to do with "being defined as food". I have no issue eating animals, if they are treated properly, game from hunting for example. But some people have an ethical issue with torturing animals for food. Who live short lives of constant suffering, pecked out eyes, open sores, crippled limbs, abuse, all pretty much the norm in modern meat farming. All so we can save a few bucks per pound. If you have no issue with that then go ahead! You asked, but otherwise I never try to convince anyone of anything.
edit: my 2nd reason is the wildly disporpotionate resrouces required to raise large animals for meat. Also the reason I eat fish, though I try to find the sustainably caught ones. Even in fish farms they also generally don't have the same issues of abuse (someone asked about ethics of vegetarian vs pescetarianism earlier)
Just one of many videos of animal treatment in meat plants:

Got sent ZERO wings with today's order, things are looking grim for wing lovers, most probably being kept by the likes of Tyson for their own product lines.

oh wow, look at Mr Fancy Pants over here! You get some more stimmy checks or something?

There's something comical about people who find eating plants is okay but eating something just because it moves is against the moral code.

Just because you don't see it moving doesn't mean it isn't something that is... Well.. alive.

I can only guess it comes from those with weak minds that can't wrap their heads around plants being alive - simply because they can't see emotions and crying faces and thus are limited to only what their eyes perceive.

I can see and feel your deep identification with plants. Your posts often remind me, in depth and tone, of something a turnip would post.

That leaves the questions: "Are brown eggs really better? Or are free-range eggs better?"

All I can give you is my subjective personal experience. I generally just get the store bought carton, when I buy eggs at all. But my g/f (yeah, that's right, I'm 70 and have a g/f!) buys the elite farmer's market ones for probably around $4 a dozen, and, damn, but they sure taste better to me.

Home made chicken soup rocks though. I'd happily pay double for what a carton costs for a good bowl of homemade chicken soup!

You got THAT right. Home made chicken soup, or from a premium purveyor, is def the shiznit! Expensive, though. I just got a quart carton for a sick friend and it cost $15. Worth it if you willing to ante up, though. Always and ever, you get what you pay for.

We dont get no stimulus checks ... or wait maybe we do? Functioning welfare state and all that.

Yah Mon. It's always great to stop in Chinatown and get some roast BBQ duck and pork cut up over some rice and usually a bit of something green.

I would buy a whole duck, cook some rice vermicelli and throw together a soup with the duck and that is a quick meal.

I did my part and had wings and shrimp yesterday for lunch.....and don't regret it one bit.

You inspired me. As long as this second shot I got today doesn't knock me out, I'm riding to the city tomorrow and stopping in Chinatown for some of that roast BBQ pork and ducks they hang in the windows

Canned stock suck.

They are also loaded with salt/sodium.

 

[Viper1j]

Kroger has whole chickens, legs, and thighs all for $0.97/lb. on sale this week.

Eggs are lower too, about $1.29/dz large size.

Wings are the ones that are still high.

I'm buying the packages of chicken thighs, and dressing and seasoning them like I would wings. More meat , same taste, more fun.

 

[purbeast0]

Paid $15 for 18 full wings yesterday, which turned into 36 "wings" to eat.

They were the bomb. My wing game is on point.
