No, I mean regular boiled or fried eggs. Am I wrong to believe all American eggs have white shells?
The issue is, I and Brix hate visiting too warm countries, so we cannot try the genuine French food to find out. (The holiday in Tuscany 2022 was so terribly hot we broke for a couple of months!)

Yes. Brown eggs are local eggs. We have plenty of small farms, and local people who have layers and sell them at the farmer's market or in a roadside shed. You can even get local duck and quail eggs. What a country!
I'm sure these are tasty!
Now I can understand why I could not try good American eggs on my short visits!
What I can't understand is how you could possibly believe that the small sample of American food you've actually eaten is representative of ALL American food everywhere.
Made the same mistake in Christchurch, New Zealand. But after 14 days of burrito deprivation on a trip through the Pacific, I was desperate.
Do I?
Your opinion of America was clearly shaped by your hosts.Do I?
You see, Jeremy. It all started with a stay at a resort hotel in Virginia. There was abundance of food in an all-you-can-eat hotel restaurant. I packed my plate full with everything to soon realise I could not eat it because of the lack of flavour. Each U.S. trip was on business. We were invited to a variety of restaurants by our hosts, three serious American companies. We also were driving a rented car to find a breakfast (as a typical American hotel does not offer breakfasts). The places for the dinner included, for instance, a touring boat on the Potomac. I don't want to elaborate how disappointed was with the food there, and that was expected to be a class restaurant.
The first culture shocks:
I liked the American people but was not fond of the food in North America (including Canada). So it means I'm attacking Americans. Good to know, your opinion has helped me understand America better now. Oh well. It looks the FIFA president certainly could understand the American mentality in the recent months a way better than I ever could.
- We had to pay for alcohol from our pocket. An European never expects that from the host
- Tap water was free
- One of big American attractions was taking us to a bowling alley. A lot of fun, indeed
No it doesn't. That's my whole point. You learn nothing about Americans as a whole from my behavior as an individual.
"Please Americans by telling them the food in their country was great for you or else".No it doesn't. That's my whole point. You learn nothing about Americans as a whole from my behavior as an individual.
Maybe this will help:
Generalization - Wikipedia

Hopeless.
I do not generalise. I clearly say I, Stefan disliked the food I was offered to eat in North America. It is as much personal and as little as general as possible.
