The room temperature vs refrigerated eggs thing is actually due to differences in health regulations in Europe vs the US. The the US, health regulations require eggs to be washed before they are sold. While this removes dirt and germs from the shell, it also removes a protective coating on the shell which prevents germs from passing through the shell membrane and into the egg. Thus, washed eggs need to be refrigerated. However, in many places in Europe, health regulations require that eggs NOT be washed. While this results in the outside shells being dirtier, it helps retain the protective coating on the shell, making it more difficult for germs to enter the egg, meaning unwashed eggs don't need to be refrigerated.

Phillip Aubin - since when do low temperatures disable a bacterium. It only prevents overgrowth. Cooking to a minimum temperature is what kills bacteria on food. This is why you can let steaks (not ground meats) acclimate before cooking them, you're cooking from the outside at hundreds of degrees C.

@TheHarleyEvans 3 года назад

@Phillip Aubin the US bleaches their eggs, the EU regulates exposure to salmonella in chicken farms, we limit the possibility of our eggs ever coming into contact with salmonella, thus it's safe to keep them unrefrigerated, refrigeration does not kill any bacteria, it only slows or stops their growth, the downside is, it also makes your eggs go bad quicker (not rotten, just not good, like stale bread), i have eggs in my cupboard right now that i've had for 2 months, unrefridgerated and they are still fine to cook and eat, if i'd kept them refridgerated they wouldn't have lasted 2 weeks!

I have an interesting take on this because I'm British but probably more than twice your age. It was fascinating to see how many things you've chosen that would not have occurred to me because they're more recent (instead of Freddos we used Mars Bars to gauge inflation) - and on the other hand, how many things have been around since I was young and will probably be around for ever (for example, talking about the weather, and having a cup of tea). :)

Statement Number 3 about a cup of tea making everything better is absolutely true! And not just in England either, but here in Australia too. There's a very old saying here that went: "All you need is a cup of tea, a bex and a nice lie down!" Younger Aussies wouldn't have heard this because Bex hasn't been available for years, but I think it was probably the Bex that made people feel better, because it contained a dose of amphetamines and morphine. No wonder people recommended Bex as well as tea and a lie down as the best cure all! But I always make tea, no matter what the situation is, unless it's evening and then I go for the good old gin and tonic. Love your channel, from Amanda in Australia ❤️

We have ridiculous excitement over fireworks on the Fourth of July, which is Independence Day in the United States, so that I can definitely relate to. I’m actually surprised we don’t have a common thing to shout out when someone breaks a glass. We do tend to clap for them, (and often it’s the whole bar or restaurant applauding) or say ‘way to go!’ when that happens. It usually has the same effect on the poor person who dropped the glasses. They usually laugh along or grin self-consciously and, maybe blush.

@brianwhittington5086 Год назад

It has got ridiculous with fireworks over here in the UK in recent years. They let them off, and have the accompanying bonfires over a several week period on either side of the official 5th November date. As soon as fireworks go on sale, several weeks before the date, kids will have already made a Guy Fawkes effigy, to go touting for money to buy fireworks. A Guy is typically a life sized figure made out of any old clothes, stuffed with newspaper /rags and will have a grotesque looking face mask. They sit outside shops etc with them, asking people to "give a penny for the Guy". Some community organised bonfire and fireworks displays will have a competition to judge the best Guy's and select a prize winner. They will all ritually get thrown on the bonfire to symbolise the Gunpowder Plot being foiled. It all seems to blend into one with Halloween these days, which wasn't really a big UK celebration here, until made popular by the various films.

My experience when I was living in Scotland for a while: people never use umbrellas because they would have to carry them ALL THE TIME.

The egg bit is actually quite important! The correct storage temperature for an egg depends on how it has been prepared previously.

This distinction may seem strange, but it is key to avoiding a warm, moist environment where _Salmonella_ can easily multiply.

Not me, but my children (similar age to you Lucy) use to love non-alcoholic beer, now popular with adults in Australia, because of drink driving laws, and older people who survived their youth

Same thing here in France, it's called "Champomy" and it's made out of apples. It was more popular in the 90s though, I'm not sure kids today actually drink it.

I left the UK in 1997 and reside now in Australia. Love watching your videos Lucy for that nostalgic buzz. Back when I was a child (early 80s) we used to have a fizzy drink called Top Deck. It came in a drinks can that looked like larger. In fact my favourite flavour of this drink was larger and lime. It was alcohol free, marketed towards teens and I would feel most grown up drinking it especially if accompanied with a box of sugar cigarette sweets. These were actual sweets made to look like cigarettes! Can you imagine these products being sold today?

Candy cigarettes were sold in the USA from the 1970's until the 1990's.

I remember Top Deck Shandy from when I was young. When my parents held family parties at our house, there was always Party 7s on the table also.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"

Here in the U.S. a “garden” is something that is planted in the “backyard” or “front yard” (in some cases, it’s done in the yard on the side of the house). I’ve watched a few shows that feature police officers searching in peoples “gardens” and realized they were talking about the backyard.

@catherinayoung 2 года назад

If you had only heard the audio, it would have sounded ridiculous to look in someone’s “garden” for a person! 😆

@billolsen4360 2 года назад

As American I got the mental image of Detectives mashing down your carrots and pumpkins as they searched "the garden" lol

@sluggo206 2 года назад

Right, in the US a yard is the space around a house. A garden is an intentional planting, which can be for decoration or food.

In regards to the drink J20...in the US we had a thing at the restaurant called a "kiddy cocktail"...which looked like some red whiskey cocktail made with ginger ale and grenadine with a cherry in it. I used to get them whenever my family would go to an upscale restaurant. The were also called Shirley Temple cocktails.
