Are there really savages out there that don't refrigerate their eggs?

I put them in the fridge but in stores here across Europe they are just kept on regular shelves in the supermarket.

I keep them in the fridge just because i keep 36 or so at a time.

Yup, I never keep them in fridge because they are safe here and cooking with cold eggs is shit tier.

Probably because yuropeens can't afford refrigeration.

? Refrigerating eggs is overkill, unless you plan on storing them for 3 months, suspicious source, or something retarded like that. Egg is, by definition, not really perishable food. What's more, if you keep eggs for ~4 days or more, those eggs are easier to peel after boiling. Peeling boiled fresh egg is annoying as fuck, it just doesn't work. I imagine refrigerating eggs slows down this process. Is this one of those retarded American overboard way of doing things?

our eggs are cleaned you have to refrigerate them. Finding a dirty egg is a million dollar lawsuit

They refuse to vaccinate their chickens against Salmonella, meaning their chickens are vulnerable in the first place, and then to add to the problem they get triggered by a feather or a bit of chicken shit so they pressure-hose the eggs which removes the natural layer of protection eggs have.

cows, goats, sometimes pigs or horses but not at the moment. hunt a lot of venison and sometimes beaver as well.

This video might not seem related at first but it contains some good tips about egg storage, in particular, lack of refrigeration.

Eggs have a natural protective layer so they don't need refrigeration, however, American eggs are washed before being sold so they lose their protective layer so those need to be refrigerated.

Unrefrigerated eggs are only good for up to three days without refrigeration you dumbasses. Maybe a little longer if they are your eggs from your own chickens.

reading all of these responses, the people whos eggs have to be refrigerated are getting garbage tier eggs. A real egg doesn't have to be refrigerated and can stay on a shelf for a while. How do you think it would work in times before refrigeration?

>>12054974
In America eggs are 'cleaned' with chemicals that strip the protective layers of the shell, and make it porous, alowing bacteria in. They have to be stored in refridgeration.
In europe eggs are not treated and thus can be left on the counter. For Americans who cannot wrap their heads around that consider that if eggs went bad that fast without refridgeration how could they ever grow and hatch into chickens?

When did that start in the first place?
Surely back when people had chickens the knowledge that they keep fine for weeks just the way they are was there, so when did they start to wash them?

1960's. Researchers discovered that washing the eggs and then refrigerating them results in them keeping longer than the natural-and-unrefrigerated method.

So iow, factory farmed eggs could then be warehoused for months losing nutrients and quality before being passed off to a stupidly credulous populace. Wonderful.
