THE PRICE OF EGGS

Tariffs will impact a very large percentage of the goods that everyone buys, and as you would expect not everyone is looking forward to that. Fortunately I have enough sambals and chili sauce to last until well after the harvest season. But today I think I will invest in a few other condimental substances. Particularly oyster sauce (蠔油 'ho yau'), shrimp sauce (鹹蝦醬 'haam haa jeung'), and abalone sauce (鮑魚汁 'baau yü jap').
As well as various curry pastes.

All I can say is that my favourite stockists picked a lousy time to go on break.
Not their fault; ching ming (清明節) waits for no man.

Fortunately, Chinese American klugheit & innovativität will probably start production of all those things in the States sometime this year, and just like with soy sauce we won't have to rely on international trade. Which has been torpedoed by the stupidest administration ever in any case. I just hope that America's shitty and deteriorating food safety doesn't sabotage us like it did, briefly, about two decades ago when the damned Texans would have happily given everyone an incurable disease as long as the money for those ridiculous ten gallon hats kept rolling in. Fortunately the FDA (still extant at that time) and the health authorities (still extant at that time) stepped in and put a stop to that.

THOSE RICE FIELDS IN TEXAS WHERE REDNECK
PEASANTS SWEAT UNDER THE HOT TROPIC SUN

Sadly, when it comes to rice we're hosed. We'll have to depend on California, Texas, and the Carolinas for that. Where Uncle Ben holds sway. Most Americans know beans about rice.

Considerable less than about cuisine and acceptable headgear.

Fortunately the price of eggs will eventually go down. When the Red States get hit with the next pandemic, it will be several months before they panic because information will first not be divulged by RFK's henchmen, but then reassuringly incorrect in any case, and television hucksters will tell them to just take vitamin supplements, apple cider vinegar, fluoxetine and mebendazole. Buy the family pack, now conveniently priced. While supplies last.

[Very minor side effects at levels which are likely to supress virus-borne diseases: diarrhea, head aches, nausea, trouble sleeping, xerostomia, plus bone marrow suppression, vomiting, and sexual dysfunction. All of which are GOOD, and prove that they work better than masks.]

Then they will not be able to afford eggs, nor will they have an appetite.
And there will be a Jesus-man telling them eggs are evil.
All in all, you're better off not eating eggs.
They are the devil's food.
