In America we tend to keep our eggs in the fridge.
Europeans store their eggs at room temperature, while Americans refrigerate them. This is something that inspires some American tourists on their return home to adapt a more Continental attitude to the storage of eggs. Bad idea.

Though keeping eggs at room temperature is a perfectly good idea in Europe, because of differences in production practices, it can be very dangerous in the U.S.

The reason comes down to how we treat one simple, very insidious little bug, salmonella, which can cause extreme digestive distress and even prove fatal. Salmonella can be introduced in two ways -- from outside the egg (as a result of contact with organic matter such as chicken manure) and from within (from the hen to the egg before it has been laid).

American egg producers focus on preventing contamination from the outside, so they are required by the USDA to thoroughly wash the eggs before they go to market. They’re rinsed in hot water, dried and sprayed with a chlorine mist almost as soon as they’re laid.

Europeans take a different approach. In the United Kingdom, for example, producers instead vaccinate laying hens to prevent the transmission of salmonella. They then rely on a thin, naturally occurring coating called the cuticle, to prevent any contamination from the outside of the shell penetrating to the egg.

No, when we kicked your ass in the Revolutionary War we distanced ourselves as far away from you Beta Red Coats as we could. We also immediately invented toothpaste and attractive women.

It's what a catcher in baseball wears here. As RichStrong said. But since Brits lack any gonads they put eggs from chickens in I guess.

Kettles used to be more commonplace here in the olden days, which is why mostly people that have them now are grandparents/senior citizens.

This is partially correct. My family runs a very large pullet company, with several nutritionist specifically for chicken houses. They treat for salmonella, and if the eggs happen to get it internally from the hen, they shut down production until they figure out what happened.

Saw this for the first time in France or Germany, can't remember which. I shed a tear over all the lost proteins since so much egg is left when using an egg cup. We peel and eat them, getting all the proteins, hence our rise to world domination.
