Am confused. Keep eggs in fridge. Is that not right??
(TBH, we only get eggs a couple of times a year as there's something unwholesome about eggs that makes me not like them. It's not natural to eat eggs I think.)

It's not natural to eat eggs I think.) It's perfectly all right to keep eggs in the fridge, ffs!! I've been doing it for 35 years **  If you're going to boil the eggs it's best to take them out to bring them to room temperature so that they don't crack in the hot water. And eggs used for cake making should always be brought to room temperature. Very fresh eggs sink to the bottom of a pan of water. Bad eggs float. I eat lots of eggs. eversoeggy. ** waits for swl to ask if I've had eggs in my fridge for 35 years |

Just googled "keeping eggs in the fridge" and the consensus is that if you want them kept fresher for longer you should keep them in the fridge!

And in any case, what does ARF know? He's a FARMER for heaven's sake. He WANTS you to keep your eggs out of the fridge so they'll go bad and you have to buy more and more and more.
;D
Only joking ARF

When ARF gets here he's going to beat your theory up with a pitchfork. And I will stand right behind him at a safe distance.

I've got your back Everso.
We can take the Trub and the Farmers no bother. You're an East End gal (once removed) and I'm a Weegie . . they have no chance.

Knowing me, if I kept my eggs out of the fridge, I'd either: forget where I put them or either break them/drop them/knock them off whatever they were sitting on or fall on them. I was emptying the swing bin last week, turned round to get some disinfectant to give it a wipe round with, lost my balance and put my foot through the lid which was on the floor waiting cleaning! The plastic dowel that holds it up snapped and the lid broke in half. So leaving eggs outside of a secure container = very bad idea.  It's just one accident laugh after another in my house!  |

Do not underestimate the power of Bristolians. Plus I have the Fighting Irish skills. Plus he has a pitchfork.

Well, what you might have forgotten is that I have some Irish in me too, begorrah, and his pitchfork is no match for my watered silk-covered chaise with the satin cushions. I'll have him with his head in my lap before you can say "If you're Irish, come into the parlour" |

Remember, an Essex lap is no match for a good pair of Bristols. |
