in the uk, very occasionally, there is a feather or bit of chicken poo on your egg. nobody is really bothered or offended by this. american eggs, on the other hand, are power-washed to remove all traces of it, because in america, it is actually illegal to know about The Cloaca

@jk I get my eggs direct from the farm (UK). They almost invariably have a bit of chicken poo or farmyard mud or grass on them. That's because they are fresh, and the hens are allowed to do what the heck they want. But I agree about Americans and the cloaca - they can have the vilest things on their televisions, be bombarded why 'Buy, Buy' messages all day, but show a piece of female genitalia or breast? No way!
@jk afaik that is also the reason why American eggs have to be refrigerated. The washing removes a thin waxy layer that keeps the egg fresh.
@jk brits dont mind The Cloaca because the queen had one
@jk I don’t have a problem with this. I do object to calling pulp “bits” which is revolting.
@jk s
US is kind of insane.
But if it comes to human, UK's censorship is insane as well
