The American mind cannot comprehend this

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 19 points 12 hours ago (5 children)

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...

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

You can use that as a teabag!

Omg thanks for the visual!

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.

[–] freebee@sh.itjust.works 22 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 12 hours ago

But in some trains, 1st class also includes service to your seat, while peasants need to walk to the restaurant car.

We paid a tiny bit more on a german train for dinner, fresh fish iirc and it was delicious, served by a waiter, god the railways in the uk are shit.

[–] NotLemming@lemm.ee 2 points 4 hours ago

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

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

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 13 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It's just a matter of what you feed the chickens dude

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Other chickens.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 13 hours ago

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.

The European mind has never learned of carotenoids, I guess.
