I think Americans should stop buying eggs
At minimum, knowing how to substitute eggs in baking is a basic life skill if you like feeding yourself.
In baked goods, each = 1 egg:
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup mashed banana
3 tbsp nut butter
1/4 cup yogurt
1 tbsp ground flax seed + 3 tbsp water
Even when bird flu isn’t going on, sometimes you just don’t have an egg. Know your options!
I use a shelf-stable egg replacer in my baking, mostly because I hardly ever have eggs on hand. (Bob's Red Mill is the brand I see, but I'm sure there's other brands out there)
I guess I'm big on shelf-stable substitutes for stuff that goes bad fast: I also have powdered milk for baking/sauces, and textured vegetable protein to add protein and texture to things I'd usually use ground meat for, where the meat's flavor would be overpowered by the sauce anyway.
You underestimate the power of laziness. That's a lot of steps to approximate an egg.
It's far easier to bake less and eat fewer eggs. Trust a lazy person. Either that or I'll wait until eggplants can grow real eggs.
Adding 1/4 cup applesauce isn’t that much of a bother, I promise! (Each item equals an egg, not mix all together to equal an egg)
Ohhhhh that makes much more sense. I was going to complain about the volume of those things too, but I figured I had already complained about enough. Turns out my complaint was crazy.
TIL
I did. Months ago. I like eggs, but these people are fucking silly. I don't know how anybody could care so much about egg prices that they helped this criminal idiot be a dictator, and they're still whining instead of just refusing to buy eggs. How do these losers care this much about eggs but they don't breathe a word about the cost of healthcare and prescription drugs?
I might be close to this upset if it were cheese that this were happening to. But eggs? Get a life.
I've never liked eggs. Never bought an egg in my life. Though I admit I do eat things with eggs in them. If they disappeared completely, I'd miss cake, cookies, ranch dressing, and breaded chicken. Still, I'd rather do without those things than vote for Donald Trump. Having never used eggs for cooking and eaten many delicious meals without them, I'm baffled that so many people find it so hard to just do without them.
None of those things need eggs.
