Not for vegetarians.
How much do you rely on these two foods source, daily?
I've just been asked to make Chicken Soup, again, this would be the third in a short time, as I did it twice while very recently having Covid.
And eggs, daily either for early breakfast (when I'm alone) or for Elevensies when wife makes oatmeal 1st thing in the morning, we have cheesy eggs (and Ham, another survival staple) on toast around 11 daily, no complaints. It's a massive McMuffin like protein puck, makes you feel good and able to work for quite a while.
But without the eggs, what would it be?
It's near impossible to imagine life without eggs, and chicken.
Other survival staples include milk, some raw, with which I make 4 quarts of yogurt at a time, flour, butter, coffee, sugar.
Vegetable and a lot of squash we grew and have a cellarful of, apples from orchard and walnuts/hazelnuts from well established trees.
Darn near silly not to be raising our own eggs and chickens, but the cost of buying/trading for them is probably less than the actual cost, as I trade mechanic labor for eggs year around, chickens I buy at store, free range, antibiotic free, etc.
If you ever get to thinking cooking is a drag, remember to be thankful for having a kitchen, food to cook, and that fast food is easily over $10 per person now, and it totally sucks flavorwise, tasteless or gross, and it's loaded with the worst of anything you can put in food.
