Blows their cover by using the word "counter" to refer to the kitchen worktop :)
You're kidding, but you're not wrong. I worked for Whole Foods pre-Amazon and the number of people who returned eggs or flagged me down upon finding a feather was concerning.
Am American, my fridge is packed with unwashed eggs. You just can't buy them at the store here. Fortunately my pets poop breakfast.
But they're still in the fridge.
True, old habits and all that.
Serious question: Why don't Americans like unwashed eggs? Was there a breakout of an illness in the past or?
Apparently it started in the 1970s over concerns about foodborne illnesses, yes. https://tellus.ars.usda.gov/stories/articles/how-we-store-our-eggs-and-why#
Can we see a picture of your food-pooping pets? I like chickens.
This is 2/3 of our flock, we have a mix of Black Jersey Giants, Sapphire Olive Eggers, Welsummers, Americanas and 1 Brahma.
Blessings on you and your domestic dinosaurs.
Why would I be scared?
it is not the default to get eggs with the cuticle intact in the US.
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Thievin bampot!
I cross posted it! Pushed the button! I even kept your title.
Should I have shared a link to the post instead?
Not at all, I'm just joking 😃
The more posts on UK subs the better. Did you see how upset some of the yanks were on the other post? I got a fuckin death threat via PM 😂
Waitrose even sell green eggs - perfect with ham!!
