Here I am in the US having a hard time selling eggs for $3/dozen when they’re $4-5 dozen at the local Walmart and Publix. “They’re too rich tasting for me” is the main pushback I get from people not wanting free range farm eggs.

Which state are you in?

Asking for my partner who lives on eggs and loves them so much I've considered telling them to marry one because I'm a 12yr old at heart.

Alabama. Folks rather "rather go down to the wall-marts" and get them while they're stocking up on mt dew and little Debbies.

SC here. We used to get duck eggs from a friend but he had to get out of the game cause his relationship imploded.

I hate Walmart. 😒

And MtD and I've never had a Little Debbie so I can't comment on that... I have had a Nutty Buddy tho, so guilty as charged there I guess... 😅

I have heard ducks are terrible at relationships, so I’m not surprised your friend broke it off with his duck.

I don't eat sweets much but it's hard to pass up a Swiss roll and definitely can't pass up a nutty buddy

I'm Canadian...I fixed it. Lol

So Little Debbie makes them all I take it? It's not it's own thing like a Twinkie? Lol.

I never grew up with that stuff in Canada. I tell you what though, after my seventeenth package of Nutty buddy's I knew I needed to stay far away from anything closely resembling that packaging so when I see them in the grocery store my eyes glaze over and I flit right past them! Lol There's a lot of different iterations!

If you're feeling squirrely buy a box of their christmas tree cakes. They should be out in stores by now. Good for a treat with coffee once a month or two. Absolutely nothing healthy in it whatsoever.

I absolutely refuse.

Lol, I'm off excess sugar. I mean, it's in all our food now, I don't need to add to it. 😅

That’s just so wrong. I love pasture raised eggs and can’t imagine someone picking other eggs at a higher price

Huh? Are they crazy!? I would buy from you every week, if I could. Those “rich tasting” eggs make everything taste better.

Who has palettes so discerning that they complain about an eggs richness? Eggs are eggs.

No. If the hens are fed the wrong stuff they just taste bad.

Granted, I'm not out visiting local farms to try an assortment, but I've never had eggs that I could describe as "too rich"

It's like skim milk vs whole milk. I know people who only drink skim milk because whole milk is too rich.

Yup I've had eggs that somehow tasted of fishmeal. That's one good thing about the UK, the eggs are generally pretty decent.

No, they taste different. They most definitely have a richer taste to them.

aqlu t1_iwl0k2f wrote

I'm struggling to imagine what that tastes like. Rich is a word I associate with milk, cream, or butter

JibJabJake t1_iwl0zkr wrote

You're on the right track. They're more creamy, thicker, and I guess you could say a more buttery taste to them. Even the meat tastes different sometimes depending on the year if they're eating more grass and bugs versus more supplemented grains.
