Not Americans that are used to eating farm fresh eggs from the local farmers market. I lived in downtown Austin until recently and getting freshly picked produce from local and urban farms every Saturday was one of my favorite parts of my week.
Hello I'm from the FBI and I'm on my way to disappear your local farmers thank you
Pwease mista FBI guy, weave my farmews awone UwU
They probably think they grow out of the ground rather than come from an animal.
Yeah, there are no farms or individuals with chicken coops in the US, how could we possibly know where eggs come from?
/s (In case it wasn't obvious)
No matter how hard you try.
Bits of that unwashed shell are getting in your food.
As an American, I cannot legally touch any egg that hasn't been ultra-pasteurized followed by continuous cold chain refrigeration and served in either a Styrofoam or pulped paper cardboard egg carton.
I think you have been misinformed. As an American, I can harvest eggs just like the pictured ones from my own backyard on a regular basis.
They don't even cost any money, they come out of chicken asses for free.
What a noob. Ours come from shops. That way, our entire fuckin garden doesn't smell like a crashed ammonia tanker
As a side note, if your chicken coop smells like a crashed ammonia tanker you need to add more carbon in the coop. Dead leaves, cardboard, shredded wood or wood chips are working well.
This is pulped paper cardboard, is it not?
Your pulped paper cardboard.
It's so nice of you to gift it to them!
I just noticed the mistake and I knew one of you smart asses was going to call me out before I message to fix it :(
Can confirm. We (in US) have chickens and whenever we gift eggs to people they're astounded that they don't need to be refrigerated but also sometimes horrified that they aren't washed.
Granted, I keep the eggs that get poopy for myself so they don't get tossed out by an overly cautious person. I just rinse them immediately before use if they're very dirty. Occasionally one of the hens will have an "accident" and lay an egg in the dirt outside or on the coop floor. Otherwise they look generally like the pic above.
I've yet to have a rotten egg and at times we've gotten behind by over a month... Still good, sitting on the counter for a month.
Fun info, I'm currently eating through some "water glassed" eggs that I stored in May of 2023. Still good.
I have looked up "water glassed eggs" and while it does look interesting as a scientific experiment, I'm reasonably certain that you're a psychopath
I know right, why are we so uptight? Who wouldn't want their eggs covered in crusty vaginal residue and dirty feathers? THAT'S WHAT REALLY SEALS IN THE FLAVOR!!! 🤢🤢🤢🤮
Are you eating the shell?
Never! I always crack eggs PERFECTLY so that it splits cleanly in half with no shards and the egg inside never touches the outside of the shell... 😰
He's eating the shells, guys
I mean, you can just wash the egg before cooking with it, like you do with potatoes or other vegetables.
I'm not overly bothered by the need to refrigerate my eggs, but also it wouldn't bother me to rinse crap off one more ingredient before cooking.
Most of us in Europe don't eat the shells, actually.
Then again, who wouldn't want their eggs washed off with god knows what kind of chemicals that remove the natural protective membrane from the shells, so now you have to store the eggs in the fridge rather than just the shelf?
You have to lick your fingers after handling them like it's cheeto dust.
Am American. Used to have to get those eggs out from under the chickens who wanted to sit on them and get the shit pecked out of me before school everyday.
Am American
You could've shot the chickens first then, duh
They're chicken, not fish. They obviously weren't in a school.
Or a barrel
can confirm, am shook
I have a picture of my receipt for an incredibly reasonably-priced ECG scan I had the other day if you like? I think it was €9
DOES NOT COMPUTE
I know right?
I thought it'd be free fucksake
It doesn't scare us, we want this. I'd love to see you win vs the chicken industry. They would stomp your ass to the ground like they do to all the chickens!
But my fridge has a little spot just for the eggs. They look so cozy there. I actually don’t know where I’d keep something as fragile as eggs outside my fridge in the kitchen. Genuine question where do you keep your eggs safe? Do they often break?
