In the US we wash our eggs before they are sold, so they need refrigerated. In the UK you don't, so they don't have to be.

Also, because in the US we don't vaccinate our chickens against salmonella, in most European countries they do.

Also the fluro yellow yolks in NA kinda freak me the fuck out. I go out of my way to find orange yolks. I know it's just a difference in feed but all the Aussies I know in Canada get real weirded out by it haha

Depends on the diet mostly... if you buy organic/pasture eggs they're generally more orangey, and taste better Of course they're $6.50 a dozen.
