Makes me think of how convenient life is these days.

Even a hundred years ago - society was more pastoral. It was
convenient to own your own chickens, goat or cow.

I always wondered the history of how "bacon and eggs" got paired
together for breakfast. I poked around the Internet - owning chickens
was pretty common in days of yore - but how and where did eggs get
associated with bacon for breakfast?

Inquiring minds, and all that. I'll have to check the OED again; it's
a common phrase.

An oldie: Bacon and Egg - a day's work for a chicken, a lifetime
commitment for a pig.
