These days it seems like there are all kinds of fancy stuff showing up in super markets. I guess it’s easier to ship around the world, and people are always curious about trying new things (or at least showing off their fanciness to other people, if nothing else).

Why not ostrich eggs?

One egg weighs about 3 1/2 pounds and can apparently create an omelette big enough to feed 15 adults. It takes an hour to boil them.

I would definitely give it a try, but that’s a big egg. Are there 14 other people willing to try an omelette with me?

The article also mentions these crazy potatoes:

Originally the world’s most expensive potato, selling for £400 a kilo in the UK and $300 a pound in the USA, they are now being grown in Jersey instead of France at the friendly price of £2.65 a kilo.

They used to be $300 a pound??? How good can a potato be?? And if they’re that good, and now they’re only about $2 a pound, why aren’t we all eating  La Bonnotte super-potatoes exclusively? Probably because they just taste like regular potatoes, and were artificially expensive to make them sound exclusive.

Even still, I’m dying to try them!
