Gregory's ServerThey taught us in school you can recognise hydrogen sulphide by its rotten egg smell but who has ever smelled actual rotten eggs? Why are your eggs going rotten? It's the other way round - they taught us what rotten eggs smell like by giving us a whiff of hydrogen sulphide.

@anarchic_teapot @anon_opin I was lucky enough to grow up in the country with hens and birds and stuff. I mean, if you're curious just take an egg and smash it outside somewhere, come back in a day or two...  @anon_opin those of use that hide eggs for easter and manage to only find some of them months later...  @anon_opin I have. Sometimes they just don't get used in time, especially if they were short date or food surplus or something. Always do the float check, but if you're not careful about how you bin a bad one, you know about it.  @anon_opin Nothing bad in 40+ years of cooking. Two bad in the last six months. Dear *gods* the stench is *awful*. The kitchen reeked for hours, and I'd not spilled more than a couple of drops. |
@anon_opin From this I deduce you are well under 50.
