    As an American, I heard that the euros don’t refrigerate their eggs. And I thought “well that’s good… One less thing to refrigerate!” And I stopped doing it about 15 years ago.

    I have not had salmonella once. Worst case is that about once every two years, I crack a rotten egg into my breakfast scramble and it smells like Satan’s hangover farts. But ya know, ya win some, ya lose some.

      If you can get local fresh eggs you might not need to refrigerate them. We get them from a relative who has a few chickens and more eggs than they can eat to share.

        Totally down with that idea. I want to have chickens in my back yard, but I spend a lot of time out of town, so I’d need to figure out how to get my housemates to take care of them when I’m not around.
