      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.

      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#

    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.

      I cross posted it! Pushed the button! I even kept your title.

      Should I have shared a link to the post instead?
