    This happened to me. My mother raises hens so when there were big egg shortages, we got some from her. The yolks were so rich that their color was practically orange and they would stain anything they got on. I’ve never had eggs so delicious and flavorful, plus anything I baked with them came out so rich and delicious. They really were almost overpowering and a little disconcerting to get used to. I’m amazed how bad even the best store bought eggs are now.

      Find pasture-raised eggs at your grocery store. Added bugs to the diet helps with the rich yolks.

      In the country they dine on fresh eggs from the hen-house, fresh tomatoes from the garden, fresh venison and foraged mushrooms. The food they eat is usually better tasting and better quality than the food billionaires eat.

        I’m from the country and while your words are nice they’re not factual in the least.

          My partner grew up in the mountains, and that’s very much how they ate. Home-grown, canned and cooked basically everything above flour. The kids got taught what they could wild forage themselves, and what to bring back to ask about.

          Now, they were so cash poor as to have to rub two pennies together to make three, but that’s a whole different point of conversation

            Yeah that’s how my mom grew up 70 years ago in Appalachia, those days are long gone.

            The other comment about hotdogs and mac & cheese is much more accurate to the 21st century IME.

      This was my exact experience as well! One benefit of a relatively small town is a lot of people have free range hens and you can get some really tasty eggs
