Eggs

Eggs is a product of a Hen Farm. It can be sold on its own in a Grocery.
==History==
Hens were probably already bred by the very first primitive settlers. Soon, people realized that poultry not only provided chicken to eat and feathers as a filling material, but also eggs to enjoy. Of course, in prehistoric times they were predominantly eaten raw. Fried and boiled eggs are relatively recent gastronomic inventions. Even very poor people who could not afford cattle and horses at least had eggs, although they did not possess anything to slaughter or milk. In this way, they were able to survive long, fierce winters even if they had no meat or milk, as eggs are essential protein suppliers. Although, at that time, nobody really knew anything about their nutritional value.
==Did You Know That?==
Nutritional tables were first published at the beginning of the 20th century. The poorer classes were always able to afford eggs as a source of protein even if they couldn't afford meat or fish. Eggs were very popular with both city and country folk. Eggs were also the centrepiece of Easter festivities at that time and kids had great fun hunting for multi-coloured eggs.
