The American mind cannot comprehend this

[–] jaaake@lemmy.world 31 points 5 days ago (3 children)

The American mind wonders why the yolks are a deep orange instead of neon yellow.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 5 days ago

You're not kidding. I lived on land with ducks and chickens. Not only are the yolks a deep and rich color, they're thicker and more sticky. I miss having fresh duck eggs daily.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 14 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It's just a matter of what you feed the chickens dude

[–] anzo@programming.dev 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but there's no amount of cheap or low quality food pellets that would make them this dark. That's the whole point.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 3 points 4 days ago

I'm a convert, personally. I used to buy cheap eggs in America and I'd always drown them in hot sauce and salt to give them a flavour. Now in England I don't buy eggs unless I'm in the mood for eggs, and it's always really good ones, sometimes duck. There's just no comparison, and I feel a bit better about how the animals are treated of course.

Other chickens.

The European mind has never learned of carotenoids, I guess.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 25 points 5 days ago (5 children)

Literally. I'm just sitting here wondering if European trains have a first class section or something.

The only eggs you'll find on an American train come in the form of a used tampon left on the floor...

[–] freebee@sh.itjust.works 26 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They do have first class. But the on board restaurant (if there is one) is accessable for all, not only 1st class travelers.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 5 days ago (1 children)

But in some trains, 1st class also includes service to your seat, while peasants need to walk to the restaurant car.

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Which means only that lazy rich passengers miss an opportunity to start conversation and score in the restaurant car.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 days ago

Who would want to talk to peasants? Hon hon hon

[–] Aliktren@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

We paid a tiny bit more on a german train for dinner, fresh fish iirc and it was delicious, served by a waiter, god the railways in the uk are shit.

[–] NotLemming@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago

Do English trains have actual food anymore, even in first class? It's been years since I travelled first class.

[–] NotLemming@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

Omg thanks for the visual!

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

You can use that as a teabag!

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

Uhhh Amtrak has both First Class as well as Diner Cars with eggs lol. It’s just so slow and shitty that you’ve never bothered to be on it.

[–] MiniMoose4Free@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

Eggs that look like they've been sitting out a while? Everything else looks very good though.

[–] TheTurner@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago

It looks good though.
