I have a lot of panko, squid, oil, flour but no eggs :(

So the squid will be frozen until the panic bakers come to their senses and settle down. I just need 1. Seriously the egg section feels like the beginning of the rona.

I have 9 eggs bwahaha!

Shall we start the bidding at $15 each?

[–] SituationCake@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago

I have a whole dozen, and they’re free range! I guess I’m rich now! But I’m gonna eat my riches at breakfast so it won’t last long.

I have 2 dozen. Thanks IGA.

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago

I have 2 dozen plus two, about 4 frozen eggwhites and a container of dried egg powder. Thanks mostly to Gippsland Eggs who have a minimum purchase of 5 dozen to get free delivery. My last order was just before they started putting purchase limits on at Colesworth, so the timing was good.

Lots of eggs at my greengrocer. Try outside Colesworth?

[–] oztrin@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

I actually got some at Coles, though Aldi were out Tuesday.

mayo is a brilliant idea and sounds delicious

[–] SituationCake@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I think you can use mayo instead of eggs to stick breadcrumbs, I’ve never tried it for calamari though. I reckon it would be fine.

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

ooh that is a trick I haven't heard of!

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

You can use plain yogurt too.

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've used plain milk for breading chicken breast before. The crumbs didn't stick quite as well, and it came out a lighter consistency, but it was fine. I think I've heard of people using a mix of vegetable oil, milk, and water as well which supposedly works ok.

I also ate a brownie that had the egg substituted for banana. Apparently that's a thing. The banana was a little overwhelming, but it did work

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 5 points 4 months ago

While I like eating bananas I hate bananas used as an ingredient in anything unless it’s banana cake.

The banana taste is always overwhelming when it’s used as an ingredient and it’s yucky.

Next time you're in Kew try Toscanos, haven't seen egg shortages there so far.
