Boiled Yam and Egg Sauce by market

Every market that stocks the whole list, cheapest first. Units differ between markets, so these are comparable baskets rather than identical ones.

Markets that can't supply the whole list

Ingredient quantities for this dish are our own estimate of what feeds 6 people and haven't been confirmed by a cook yet. Prices are real; portions are a starting point.

Costs are built from the latest recorded price for each ingredient at each market, in the units that market actually sells. Where a larger pack works out cheaper for the quantity needed, it is used instead, the list says which.
