Eggs Were Affordable
Eggs are a breakfast staple in all parts of the world. Venezuelans love to eat Perico, a traditional meal made of scrambled eggs, onion, tomatoes, and peppers accompanied by bread or arepas. A dozen eggs used to cost about $1.46 in the ’40s, which today would amount to $6.12, (adjusted with inflation) which is what we’d expect to pay for a dozen organic eggs in 2020.
