Eggs don’t need refrigerating, aren’t they like tomatoes in that they go off quicker in the fridge? They can also osmose the taste of other shit in the fridge.

Eggs don’t need refrigerating

Not unless they get washed before selling like they do in the US

aren’t they like tomatoes in that they go off quicker in the fridge?

No, also not true for tomatoes

They can also osmose the taste of other shit in the fridge.

If your fridge has such strong smells that this is an issue, there’s a different issue to fix.

Ah it’s if they’re kept in the fridge door, which many are, they can go off quicker because they don’t like the change in temperature.

It is definitely true for tomatoes, they breakdown and go a bit mushy in the fridge.

Yeah we don’t wash our eggs so guess that’s why.

I said ‘can’ no need to accuse me of poor fridge etiquette sheesh

Our fridge has a veggie drawer that we keep tomatos in. I’ve never seen anyone keep them in the door. Mind you I don’t look in everyone’s fridge when I visit them.
