I know right, why are we so uptight? Who wouldn't want their eggs covered in crusty vaginal residue and dirty feathers? THAT'S WHAT REALLY SEALS IN THE FLAVOR!!! 🤢🤢🤢🤮
Most of us in Europe don't eat the shells, actually.
Then again, who wouldn't want their eggs washed off with god knows what kind of chemicals that remove the natural protective membrane from the shells, so now you have to store the eggs in the fridge rather than just the shelf?
Are you eating the shell?
Never! I always crack eggs PERFECTLY so that it splits cleanly in half with no shards and the egg inside never touches the outside of the shell... 😰
He's eating the shells, guys
There's actually a membrane on the inside of the shell, I didn't learn to crack an egg in half cleanly until a few years ago.
If you shatter a bit of the side, you can take both hands and pull it apart with both hands... It's hard to describe, but you grab all the fragments with your fingers and then rip the membrane. It gets goop on your fingertips and a handful of shell shards, but it's extremely easy to get all the shards, and the insides don't come near the shell.
Instead of learning to get the force right, you can drop it 4-6 inches flat onto a countertop and it'll break the shell without breaking the membrane
You could also wash it if you're really worried, I wash my hands every time I touch egg goop anyways. It's also probably about to be cooked, so it's not like it's a health risk.
But they taste better and last much longer... even unrefrigerated. I always get fresh local eggs when I get the chance, it's worth the initial grossness (I was very skeptical at first, but after I ate the first one I got over it)
You have to lick your fingers after handling them like it's cheeto dust.
I mean, you can just wash the egg before cooking with it, like you do with potatoes or other vegetables.
I'm not overly bothered by the need to refrigerate my eggs, but also it wouldn't bother me to rinse crap off one more ingredient before cooking.
