  Mexico reporting in, just yesterday I had two avocado toasts with four poached eggs on top.

  Now where are those Dairy Section decals of the orange intestinal parasite that say - “I did this!”?

    the orange intestinal parasite

    Is that what we’re calling him now?

    • niktemadur@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I’ve been calling it that for eight years now. Give or take.

  Carton of eggs

  For the low price of €5,70, these could be yours.

      They vary by bird. Easier to notice variation with my hens for example:

  I didn’t know eggs come in metric outside of the US.

  source

  • fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Me neither. We do dozens in Australia.

    I mean, what if someone needs a quarter of a carton? Or even a third? Didn’t think about that did they.

    Curse these Europeans with their fancy metric numbers.

    • fallingcats@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      You can also by packs of 15, to thirds are possible :)

    We’re suffering egg-mageddon here and they want to exploit the situation to go metric? /s

    In NZ we get them in 6’s, 8’s, 10’s, the classic 12, a 15 box and a 30 crate.

  Ah if your not American, then why are the eggs in the fridge?

  source

  • vk6flab@lemmy.radio ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Because sometimes the house gets up to 26°C inside when it’s 43.6°C outside, like last week.

    source

    • hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Where do you live that it’s 40 degrees??

    Living in Aus during a heatwave, I’d rather my eggs remain raw and cold until I’m ready to cook them, rather than them spontaneously cooked in the pantry lol

    Eggs are also refrigerated in Denmark, that’s why we used to be such a great ally to the US.

    source
  • Pregnenolone@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Do people not refrigerate their eggs? I live in Australia and we always have them in the fridge.

    source

    • gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Depends on if the eggs get washed or not

      US eggs are washed and will rot on the counter, most other countries do not and so it really doesn’t matter (I could have whether the washing is done or not backwards tbf, but I know it has to do with that)

      UK here - it’s common not to. I think they technically will last longer in the fridge, but they’re absolutely fine kept out.

      I’m in aus (Newy), and we don’t use the fridge, even in summer. Never had a problem.

    • 000999@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Eggs aren’t refrigerated in the UK. They are sold on normal shop shelves and people put them in their cupboards

  Similarly to pineapples being a display object for wealth, I can see the time when we, rich Europeans would throw parties for US citizens having a single egg on a pedestal on the dinner table.

  I sorta thought that even if egg prices in the USA were high the global prices must be too but then someone sent me a picture of prices in Germany - they’re literally 1/10th the price

  source

  • protist@mander.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Eggs are produced domestically most places, which sofrens global price sensitivity

  Still can’t seem to get hollandaise sauce right though. That poor butter… 😔
