Dumb question of the week - getting raw eggs home when it's 45 degrees out there
Okay, maybe there is an obvious answer here, but I know that Delhi gets hot enough to fry eggs!
How it is possible to for people without AC cars to bring raw eggs home from the market? Are May and June declared omelette free months, or do people have little insulated egg boxes?

Really? I have seen someone fry an egg on the bonnet of a car in England in the summer. Literally. Hmm... Maybe the bonnet had got super-hot in the sun?

Gettting the eggs home is one thing --- and it isn't just getting them home, they will not necessarily even be in a cooler at the shop --- getting the milk home is quite another!
Make sure (if you don't have it delivered) that you buy it early, when it has not been long delivered, and take it from the back of the supermarket cold cabinet (but check the date!). |

Seriously, Haylo, do you not have one of those insulated cooler boxes? A few of those freezer packs stacked inside, and your eggs AND milk will be nicely chilled by the time you reach home. Oh, and they're also very handy for keeping the beer cold too.
