It’s the Little Things #6

I took this picture at a small neighborhood market near my apartment.

In Japan, eggs aren’t sold by the dozen, they’re sold in packs of ten.

They’re sometimes even sold in packs of four, though mainly at convenience stores. Also at many convenience stores, you can buy just one hard-boiled egg.

    In London I find them in packs of 6, 10, and 15.

    Fifteen eggs? That’s a lot of eggs, unless you’re feeding a large brood. I think six is pretty reasonable.

    That reminds me of the time a friend gave Yuko and me a flat of eggs, which I think was thirty eggs. (He works on a poultry farm near Matsuyama.) We were eating all the egg dishes we could think of for about two weeks. =)

    In Russia, they were in 10’s and 5’s.

    Shannon- how did they pack the group of five eggs in Russia? It seems like the odd number wouldn’t lend itself to efficient packing or stacking.
