That's $3 for 15 eggs. Sadly not free-range, only cage-free.

Not sure if this is the best community for this post, does anyone have a better suggestion?

Ä is the swedish way of writing ae: "aegg". Basically identical to the english pronunciation, but the vowel is a little higher in the mouth.

Apparently the English pronunciation is actually adopted from the norse word, instead of the older "Ei" germanic etymology. If English hadn't adopted the Norse pronunciation, it would be closer to "Ey".
