The American mind cannot comprehend this

[โ€“] jaaake@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

[โ€“] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 month 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.

[โ€“] yakko@feddit.uk 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[โ€“] anzo@programming.dev 4 points 1 month 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.

[โ€“] yakko@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month 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.

[โ€“] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Other chickens.

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

[โ€“] Asafum@feddit.nl 26 points 1 month 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...

[โ€“] freebee@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 month 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.

[โ€“] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] biofaust@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago

Who would want to talk to peasants? Hon hon hon

[โ€“] Aliktren@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month 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.

[โ€“] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

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

[โ€“] ikidd@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

You can use that as a teabag!

[โ€“] yakko@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

Y'all are never getting rid of me je voudrais manger all this merde up in here

[โ€“] MiniMoose4Free@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

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

[โ€“] TheTurner@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

It looks good though.

[โ€“] match@pawb.social 25 points 1 month ago

this is the future they took from us

[โ€“] FatsoJackson@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 month ago

that looks amazing for a train bistro plate

[โ€“] DmMacniel@feddit.org 17 points 1 month ago

Damn that looks tasty.

[โ€“] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 13 points 1 month ago

This is some gourmet shit

[โ€“] angrystego@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've had it with these European eggs in this European train!

[โ€“] Pandantic@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, they make me want public transport and affordable eggsโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜ญ

[โ€“] tetris11@feddit.uk 6 points 1 month ago

I'm all for fucking over US businesses, but this sub is becoming a bit mastabatory.

[โ€“] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago

We almost had a train here in Alberta but it got cancelled until further notice because our provincial government is a dumpster fire of stupidity.

Lookin' good

[โ€“] Pandantic@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

Ah, thatโ€™s why the social cohesion is broken in the US!

[โ€“] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That's a healthy looking yolk, don't usually see them like that in the states

[โ€“] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Maybe the person ordered like that but the eggs look extremely overcooked lol, but at least it all looks fresh

[โ€“] Schmuppes@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

Seems A-OK to me. I like it crispy.

[โ€“] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Honestly it looks good to me, the bottom is crispy and the yolk still looks moist!

[โ€“] ricdeh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Omg this looks so good, sadly the food in German ICEs is not this colourful :(
