If you are buying a 15NT sandwich, or a 60NT lunch box (便當), chances are very high that there are eggs in your food. Eggs are very cheap here. Why is that?
This is my theory, which may be true or may not be true. Although Taiwan is not in the 'epidemic' of 'bird-flue', Taiwan's neighbor, China is. Now, Taiwan has opened both arms to welcome Chinese tourists; Taiwan residents are afraid of Chinese tourists would carry 'bird-flue-virus' with them to enter Taiwan, like the case of SARS few years ago. Although the government authority has reassured the population that eggs and chickens are safe to eat, most Taiwanese stay away from food products related to bird food products. Farmers who produce chickens and eggs have to sell them very cheap to get rid of their products.
That is my explanation. What is yours?
