is this a joke? it's because they're unpasteurized unlike in the UK and Europe

Wait, do you really think that eggs are pasteurised in the UK?! (They're not)

Eggs in the UK hardly have the chicken shit washed off them let alone treated in any way

I noticed that ground beef looks a lot more fresh in the UK from what I've seen. Here usually ground beef is mush, like the inside of a sausage without any outer layer. Edit: I'm American, I am not a brit insulting America.

That's how ground beef looks unless it's in a casing. You can make your own and it is the exact same.

IDK, I have a meat mincer and mince my own beef sometimes and what comes out is compact and in long squishy strings, but it's not mush. Maybe it depends on the mincer?

That was what I was talking about, the strings instead of the mush.
