      The American mind wonders why the yolks are a deep orange instead of neon yellow.

        You’re not kidding. I lived on land with ducks and chickens. Not only are the yolks a deep and rich color, they’re thicker and more sticky. I miss having fresh duck eggs daily.

          Yes, but there’s no amount of cheap or low quality food pellets that would make them this dark. That’s the whole point.

            I’m a convert, personally. I used to buy cheap eggs in America and I’d always drown them in hot sauce and salt to give them a flavour. Now in England I don’t buy eggs unless I’m in the mood for eggs, and it’s always really good ones, sometimes duck. There’s just no comparison, and I feel a bit better about how the animals are treated of course.

      Literally. I’m just sitting here wondering if European trains have a first class section or something.

      The only eggs you’ll find on an American train come in the form of a used tampon left on the floor…

        They do have first class. But the on board restaurant (if there is one) is accessable for all, not only 1st class travelers.

          Do English trains have actual food anymore, even in first class? It’s been years since I travelled first class.

        Uhhh Amtrak has both First Class as well as Diner Cars with eggs lol. It’s just so slow and shitty that you’ve never bothered to be on it.

      Eggs that look like they’ve been sitting out a while? Everything else looks very good though.

      Based on the brochure on the table, this looks like a MÁV train, so probably 3,50€ for the food and 1,70€ for the coffee (source PDF). YMMV depending on which route you take.

    I’m all for fucking over US businesses, but this sub is becoming a bit mastabatory.

    That’s a weird looking Spanish omelette, made in the tiniest train kitchen by a chef who usually checks your tickets.

    Let’s not pat ourselves too hard on the back here.

    We almost had a train here in Alberta but it got cancelled until further notice because our provincial government is a dumpster fire of stupidity.
