Next you’ll be posting unrefrigerated butter out on the counter!

Blows their cover by using the word "counter" to refer to the kitchen worktop :)

Am American, my fridge is packed with unwashed eggs. You just can't buy them at the store here. Fortunately my pets poop breakfast.

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.

I second this pet photo tax. I even fixed picture uploads the other day, so no excuse!

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?
ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
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#

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.

it is not the default to get eggs with the cuticle intact in the US.

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 😂
