minus-square@CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglish195•2 months agoYeah, you hear that, PEASANTS? Shut the fuck up about the prices of things, and TAKE IT. Show some goddamn respect for your BETTERS. Billionaires need some peace and quiet while they divvy up the country’s spoils amongst each other. Spoils from YOUR hard labor, by the way.
minus-square@mercano@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink23•2 months agoWhy aren’t you wearing a suit to go grocery shopping? Show some respect!
minus-square@gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish9•2 months ago It can’t be that bad. What does one egg cost? Ten dollars? That’s nothing.
minus-square@CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglish14•edit-22 months agoSomeone needs to update this for eggs…
minus-square@klu9@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoAlso, Whoa, whoa, whoa! There’s still plenty of albumen on those eggshells! You take 'em home, throw 'em in a pot, add some broth, a potato…
minus-square@klu9@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoHopefully that ↑. But I suspect most will be like ↓
minus-square@CharlesDarwin@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoHAHAHAA. Perfect reference. 🤣

minus-squaregrumpslinkfedilinkEnglish25•edit-22 months agoThat was the “joke” from the first time around. The French version uses brioche which is just even more fancy bread. Maybe a parallel would be “the peasants have no eggs!” -> “let them eat omelettes!”
minus-square@floofloof@lemmy.calinkfedilink27•2 months agoHave they tried substituting smaller cakes for the eggs?
minus-square@ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkEnglish18•edit-22 months agoYes, but it turns out those smaller cakes need smaller eggs.
minus-squareFaceDeerlinkfedilink7•2 months agoGo through the cycle a few times and maybe they can use insect eggs? Peasants have plenty of insects, right?

Ew, gluten free cake
You need eggs to make cake
That was the “joke” from the first time around. The French version uses brioche which is just even more fancy bread.

Yes, but it turns out those smaller cakes need smaller eggs.
Pheasant eggs aren’t any cheaper.

It’s eggs all the way down.
