In "Chronicle on the Sand" by Yoichi Funado, there is a conversation between an elderly Muslim warrior.

Though I don't have the book with me, so I don't remember exactly,

' Today, I put an egg in it.'

'No need for such hospitality.'

'I want to eat.'

The above scenes like this one appear.

I remember being shocked to learn that eggs are a luxury item in some (combat) areas.

The recent spike in egg prices reminds us of this scene.

-----

In the old days, we could eat eggs whenever and as much as we wanted. We could say that no food did not contain eggs.

Father! Please don't do it! You can't teach that kind of bullshit to a child!

I hope such a time never comes.
