I've had eggs in France and the UK. There is no difference in taste from the US
Stop getting shitty eggs from Walmart

>>19795400
>flavorless
They don't taste any different they just look so much better your brain tricks yourself into thinking they taste better. As far as why, it's because most hens in the US are factory farmed and are fed vegetarian diets low in the pigmentation that produces those really dark yolks. Pasture raised hens tens to have the darker yolks.

>>19795410
In the UK they use half a stick of butter for every 1 egg. That's why those idiots think their eggs taste better

>>19795400
yolk color is dependent upon bird diet. factory farmed eggs eat corn slop and corn slop derivitives, which makes them pale.

>>19795400
Burger here. I get my eggs from a local farm and they look like bottom right. My mom gets eggs from costco and they look like upper left. I've had both and any difference in taste is negligible.

>>19795400
I can tell from what you typed that I'm having a color blind moment

>>19795537
Does your mom get her sex from you?

I went to England and the eggs were exactly the same, I even had an incredibly bad poached egg thaf was simultaneously watery and overcooked somehow

>>19795400
It's just a change of beta keratine in the diet of the bird you absolute retard
They all taste the same, you're just eating up the grift that dark eggs = better

>>19795537
same I bought Amish eggs for like 6 years then moved out of Amish country and Walmart eggs are identical in taste

>>19795407
>>19795400
Mexican eggs are top tier eggs, that the reason they eat more eggs in mexico than anyone else.

>>19795400
>and are flavorless
you're supposed to add salt

lol yolk color in modern times is completely arbitrary it’s like going to a paint store and picking the shade you want based on the feed.
North American markets like lighter yolks and Europe likes darker but it’s all the same shit

>>19795639
Bullshit. Everything taste like beans and beheadings in mexico

>>19795400
Yolk color has nothing to do with nutrition or anything else like that and is a direct function of what the chickens are fed because pigments in the feed will transfer over to the eggs. Typically marigolds are used to make yolks look pretty and vibrant. Producers who are looking to cut costs don't feed their chickens pigments so you get yellow yolks insted of orange ones.

do i need to keep eggs in the fridge or

>>19795696
Only if the eggs have been washed by the producer. If you live in a country that doesn't wash eggs (and has significantly higher rates of salmonella), or you buy them from a boutique farmer who doesn't wash them you can leave them out at room temperature. Otherwise you should refrigerate them. But there is literally no reason to NOT refrigerate eggs since refrigeration retards spoilage in general and will have an additive effect on eggs that still have a natural film/coating.

>>19795400
They're manufactured in factories out of corn syrup solids and partially hydrogenated vegetable oil.

>>19795736
*poops in your mouth*
Suck those corn syrup solids down, yurosperm.

>>19795696
No but if you leave then out too long they'll hatch and then you're stuck with a bunch of deformed baby birds to slaughter or take care of.

>>19795400
you’re buying poverty eggs. get the happy farm eggs

they feed alfalfa to chickens to give them the dark yolks

>>19795639
Yeah its not because its a third world country run by drug cartels and eggs are cheap huh

>>19795400
every couple of weeks we have this thread.

egg producers in every country (and even in local regions) carefully control the diet of their chickens in order to get the color of eggs that the locals expect. they do this by adding or limiting the amount of beta carotene in the chicken feed. THAT'S IT THAT'S ALL!

In some countries they expect blood red eggs, in other countries everyone thinks a yellow or orange egg is a sign of icky chemicals and won't eat them so they make egg yolks that are white.

here in the US people expect yellow to orange and that's what they get.

>>19795400
That's why I buy these now. It's $10+ a carton but it's worth it. Put my sister on to them and now she doesn't buy anything but these.

They're normal eggs like >>19795537 and not the ones shat out by sickly prisoner chickens.

>>19796636
have you ever drove out and visited one of the farms on the box

>>19795400
>t. rent free

>Why are American eggs so anemic and pale looking?
>Every time I’ve visited burgerland the eggs all look like the top left and are flavorless. Wtf are burgers doing to their eggs??

>>19796636
J&D Farms https://www.janddfarms.com/J%26D_Farms/Home.html
can't find a "channel farm".

>>19796636
if you go to their website and look up the farms they supposedly show you a picture of that farm, but can't find them in google.

works fine for me. Not sure what the issue is.

>>19795410
bullshit

>>19797848
it shows a picture of a "farm".
gives no location so you can confirm if it is real.

>>19795400
Why are you putting eggs on your burgers, that's a little odd.

>>19798209
>why don't they publish the names and addresses for all 300 of their partnered farms
>this is clearly a conspiracy at the highest level by Big Egg to undermine the wallets and already strained family units of White America
so schizos like you don't show up at the farms you fucking weirdo

Why don't the factory farmers just add the pigment to their feed to make their eggs more attractive

>>19795400
Shitty factory farmed eggs are not unique to America. Get healthy farm eggs and they are good, doesn't matter what borders you dwell between.

>>19798307
got it, they don't exist. that's what I thought. just normal factory farms. thank anon, you've been great.

>>19798324
post time stamped photo of your id showing unobscured home address and name

>>19798313
vital farms does that and they use supplemental corn and soy feed

>>19795637
did they look the same?

>>19795400
At this point all the eggs I eat are poached so I don't usually notice the yolk color

>>19798364
sometimes. the yolk color in Amish eggs varied wildly. some were deep orange and some were almost colorless. I even got a rotten one once and another that was completely hulk green but smelled fine. I didn't eat it.

>>19798313
Because that costs money and most people don't care if their fried egg at breakfast is orange instead of yellow.

The yolk's vibrancy has literally no impact on flavor. It's all in your head the same way that people who eat steaks under green light think they tasted rotten despite being no different than a steak served during natural light.

>>19795415
>In the UK they use half a stick of butter for every 1 egg
yeah its called the art of french cooking dummy

Check out these dubd

>>19795400
If you use cheap eggs there also an abundance of organic eggs at farmers market for like 4-5$ a dozen.

>>19796636
Dude at that price just go to a farmers market or an actual farm for eggs.

>>19795400
I keep chickens. Some years the majority of eggs look like 1, some years the majority look like 4.
It all depends on what bugs show up. During the winter they tend to be paler because they are just on grains. Stop your retarded obsession over americans, go about your life and don't think of us, because by fuck I don't spare a second of thought on you.

bros how do I stop my eggs from sticking to the pan when I fry them? I put olive oil in the pan, put eggs, salt, cover, low heat, they always stick to the pan

>>19799427
Try a bit higher heat and a chunk of butter, let them sit until the white starts to cook. shake the pan a little to get them to move around and then turn down the heat.
I like over easy so I usually just turn it off when I flip them and move the pan off the burner until done
Slide ride off every time

>>19795400
The flavour and the colour of the yolk aren't directly related, but the eggs of chickens with a wider diet will tend to be both more flavourful and more colourful. It just comes down to whatever they're feeding their chickens. It's a big country, I'm sure you can find good eggs there.

>>19799406
>go about your life and don't think of us
Fat chance.

>>19799427
Eggs are best fried at a medium heat, uncovered.

Serious Eats did a taste test and found that tasters couldn't taste a difference between eggs. https://www.seriouseats.com/what-are-the-best-eggs

>>19799555
I believe it, but I wouldn't scramble eggs for a taste test. Texture and appearance matter.

>>19795400
OP's /int/-bating aside, here's your executive summary:
>Small farmers used to claim that orange yolk=better because free range, bird eat bugs
>Upsale commercial operations starting dosing their chicken feed to make yolk orange
>But it turned out that small farmer didn't know wtf they were talking about to begin with, because natural variation
>So now we have all colors, and nobody knows anything, and the consumer always loses
>CONGRATULATIONS

>>19799566
>why didn't they prepare the eggs in a way that would encourage confirmation bias?
Smoothest brain I've seen today.

>>19799427
The solution is to use a pan that you don't have to worry about damaging and gently scrape them out. I use lard in stainless for my fried eggs and they stick a little but they come off easily with gentle (metal) spatula pressure.

>>19799555
Serious Eats also said marinades don't do anything and now I question every single paragraph they've ever published

>>19799555
And that's why that site is utter garbage.

>>19800337
I said texture and appearance matter, genius. You wouldn't mince steaks for a blind test, and good looking food literally tastes better because that's how our brains work.

>>19795400
North and South America refrigerate their eggs.
Europe, Africa, and Asia don't.

>>19800352
They were right though

>>19800915
That doesn't affect the colour of the yolk or the flavour. They do it because they wash their eggs, which causes them to spoil rapidly.

>>19795639
Too much cumin

>>19795400
Battery egg farming.

>>19795400
The color off the yolk cooks the egg.

>>19796096
>Run by drug cartels

Do Americans really think this? Does Walmart run your country?

>>19800390
>explicitly admits that the appearance of the fried eggs would have influenced the results irrespective of the flavor
>doubles down that criteria unrelated to the taste should have been a primarily component for a taste test wherein the contestants were prepared and plated identically
Your brain is proving to be even smoother than previously assumed. Were you born like this or did you drink lead paint as a kid?

>>19796636
complete mental retardation. its fucking eggs man

I cooked a poached egg. The mayo was broken (I didn't realize how much oil goes in to mayo). Just figured I wouldn't want to start a new thread for this and it kind of fits here.
Yeah, chickens that go out on pasture to eat have darker eggs. The Japanese feed their chickens flowers. I'd argue that there is probably some nutritional benefit to chickens eating ze' bugs (and I'll be happy) and assorted feed as opposed to only eating corn products.

>>19803540
Forgot the picture. I've been watching the roux brothers make eggs and I've been giving it a go. Can't wait to try the fancy omlete.

>>19796636
Eggs from my local hippy dippy commune farm are 5-6 bucks/dozen and are actually hand raised. You're just a retard

>>19796636
Orrrrr you could just make friends with someone (coworker, neighbor, etc.) who keeps chickens in your yard and get infinite eggs for free

Farmer anon here. Most chicken and duck yolks are average in color don't notice much difference but they are fed protein in meal worms eggs are generally larger on average than store bought. Even sometimes twin yolks in the eggs (shit is baller)

>>19799201
My nigga got twin yolks. Shit is like winning the lottery.

>>19796636
I bet you also subscribe to delivery meal kits

>>19804441
Says the dipshit that got duped by hipster marketing into paying $10 for eggs

>>19795400
It’s just the conditions the chickens are raised in, I get eggs from my ex who raises chickens that look like the bottom right, they don’t taste any different

>>19795639
Man, nobody eats eggs 24/7 in mexico, a lot of people dont even like eggs, specially women. but, eggs are good.

>>19806103
>can't read but still types
how is this possible

>>19806114
>bottom right

Those chickens are being fed marigolds.

>>19795400
Eggs are bad for your health, just like coffee. This is the Truth.
