I've not observed that.

 

Time passes, I asked a friend and she wrote back:

 

I know we can make phone calls inside Costco because I've had to call Ron to see which aisle he's at.  Also, he's used the internet to see what Amazon is charging for a similar product.

One of the most unusual snack foods I've purchased from Costco, Quail eggs prepared 2 ways.   So far I've used them on ramen.  The flavors are really not too intense, the texture is a bit rubbery.   Each individual egg is packaged in something like a food service jam package.  Shelf stable.

 

No one else in the house is a fan.

Lots of varieties of shelf stable quail eggs at Lotte and H Mart. Some much better than others. I have found brands with jammy yolks and non-rubbery whites.

Very common here. The one labelled stewed doesn't look stewed. It very much looks like quail century egg.

These are sold in every mom 'n pop corner store as well as supermarkets. And, yes. Always rubbery. I never buy them. I buy fresh and D,I,M, (Do it Myself)

First visit in a long time to Costco today.  Mainly I go there for meat and parmigiano reggiano. 

 

Parm prices are about the same as I recall, but beef is no longer cheap. 15 or so inch beef tenderloins are over $150.  Spare ribs and oxtails are way high too. Our local Giant is less.  NY Strip steaks are higher than Wegman's and appear to be of lower quality.  They offer a whole flat iron steak for about $35 which isn't bad although I have no standard of comparison.  Pork isn't so pricey though, four hefty tenderloins are about $14.

 

So I'm down to parm as a reason to stand in line.
