Are you one of those fucks who is constantly whipping his phone out to take pictures of silly shit in the supermarket? Don't you realize that you're in other people's way when do you crap like that?

Leave your toys at home or in the car. You don't need to play with one while you're shopping.

>According to Parisi’s website, these particular eggs have a fresh taste, a yolk that is softer and richer in fat than most, with an uncommonly long protein structure and a mild almond flavor. They also have the capacity to incorporate three times the amount of air than the average yolk when whipped. Parisi recommends using his eggs for to mayo, zabaione, creams, and fresh pastas. I can add that they also make a nice carbonara.

>>8154462
In my experience maybe 1 out of 10 people use their phone as a tool. The vast majority of the time it's playing silly little games, taking & uploading pointless pictures, and the like. And sometimes it gets just plain sad:

A couple years ago I was standing in line at the post office to mail off some tax documents. A woman near the head of the queue suddenly collapsed and fell on the ground. I had first aid training so I ran over to see what I could do. After seeing that she was breathing and had a heartbeat I look up...and see everyone with their phones out filming video. I had to scream at them for someone to call 911. Apparently they thought taking a video of this sick shit was more important than actually getting her help. Fucking disgusting. (Yeah, she ended up being OK, she was diabetic and had taken the wrong amount of insulin)

Why would you even think about it without immediately knowing it's a scam?

Even in the unlikely event there was something real behind it, unless the shop was in Trump Towers, they probably wouldn't sell 2 cartons a month and they'd be about as fresh as a Chinese 100 year old egg.

>> No.8154697

>>8154660
>Why would you even think about it without immediately knowing it's a scam?

Because for many ingredients--heck, I'd say MOST ingredients, you very much get what you pay for. We're used to thinking of food as sort of a commodity: we think "eggs, milk, carrots, etc". are all the same. But that's from being limited to supermarket-tier ingredients. Each and every one of those things exists in the not-so-good-but-cheap version, and also in the much-better-tasting but often expensive version. It's certainly possible that these eggs really are much better than normal ones.

Of course it's also possible that it's complete bullshit.

>> No.8154750

>>8154697
>much-better-tasting

For eggs, that means one thing - fresher.
$8.00 x 6 eggs will not be that one thing.

>> No.8154762

>>8154750
Freshness is certainly important, and >>8154660 is correct in that these are likely to be sitting there for a while so they probably aren't all that fresh.

But, the diet of the chicken makes a massive difference as well. A chicken that eats factory farm feed is not going lay as tasty eggs as one that runs around in the farmyard and gets a much more varied diet.

>> No.8154781

>>8154762
>eats factory farm feed is not going lay as tasty eggs

Probably true as well, but since we literally never get a fresh factory egg, it's hard to know which comes first in importance, freshness or feed.

Interesting! thanks for sharing. I guess if I was making my own mayo, I might be intrigued. Can't think of why it'd enhance the other suggestions much though. Basic fried egg, then, yes.
