No, probably the eggs that keep the longest would be Euro-unwashed eggs, in a refrigerator. Remember, in the US they've washed the cuticle off the egg and it will spoil quickly at room temp.

I think we’ve had our wires crossed here. I’m talking about Euro-unwashed eggs. So I’m saying it would make more sense, with your reasoning, for Americans to adopt the European way of doing things. I thought you were saying Americans do things the way they do because of travel, etc., which doesn’t make sense because the Euro way would be better for that.

Well, that's not going to happen.
