EGGS

I like buying my eggs from one of the suppliers in the village who keep hens. Apart from being cheaper than a supermarket, I like the fact that the hens have space to run around and pick at things; that the transaction is in cash (and probably not declared); and that there is a fair amount of trust involved (you simply go into someone's barn, take some eggs, and put the money in a pot). All very different from a modern supermarket's supply chain, but nicer for that.
