What food or drink are you craving currently?

It's not unusual in the USA for farmers to be paid to NOT grow crops or raise livestock to prevent price deflation and farmers going out of business or being forced to sell their land when they can't get a decent price for their products due to overproduction. I don't doubt there are some lousy farmers who make more money from the government by not growing crops, etc. than they would make if they did bring their products to market. There was a glut of dairy milk here a few years ago, and the images of farmers dumping fresh milk was sad.

We had that in the EU some years ago, the farmers had a quta on how much milk they were allowed to sell, so they complained loudly about it and the quta was removed, which resulted in the prices dropping, what did the farmers do,? They started complaining about the low prices...

I saw an ad for eggs now on a site where people buy and sell stuff. 600 kroner for 12 eggs. That's around 60 US dollars... It's cheaper to buy drugs.

Fly out here and I will help smuggle eggs into your country. We can both become billionaires this way.

Do you have eggs in Denmark? We are now running out of milk, eggs and potatoes here. Our genius politicians did something.

Great idea. Soon I will see shady people on street corners here selling eggs for 100 dollars a dozen.

McDonald's!!!

I didn't experience any shortage here... I guess Norway have some import restrictions to protect the local farmers?

I'm coming to Denmark for eggs. You guys will soon be overrun with desperate Norwegians on an egg hunt.

Oh, we already get them by the busloads here but might be an idea to stock up before the main invasion

Back to the thread topic, waffles. I would like to have some waffles now. With blueberry jam.

That sounds like price gouging which likely would be illegal here.

Sometimes they send excess to global south and all their local farmers go out of business

I am craving organic tart cherry juice.

For the gout in my knee.

I could go for about a 1L of ice-cold ginger ale in a frosted glass.

Same! Or a super tart and sweet and rich raspberry pop. Or some sort of upscale and very acidic carbonated gourmet lemonade.

Technically, I do have an excuse to have soft drinks. One of my concomitant disorders along with ASD is achlorydia (low stomach acid) and low intrinsic factor that causes pernicious anaemia, so my stomach & digestive enzymes need a bit of a boost with carbonation, bitters and biotics.

Sadly, what those drinks aren’t good for are teeth, weight and blood sugar! So it’s a fine balance. I try to stick to either plain sugar free Pellegrino/perrier, organic soft drinks or tonic water rather than coke and the like, but it’s hard.

I am craving a blended margarita, virgin. That sweet lime flavor.

 

[Jonn]

With BBQ sauce...yum...

Pud see ew with pork.

With a bottle of Mountain Dew on the side.

And some gyozas.
