    Watch Modern Marvels on eggs. Production in the quantity that we require is amazing. Typically, eggs go from the farm to the store shelf within 48 hours. Some smaller stores might have eggs for weeks, but the larger stores turn them fast.

    Every day the eggs sit at unrefrigerated they lose 1 week of refrigerated shelf time.

    Like others have said you don't actually need to refrigerate eggs.

    Flipping the eggs every couple of days also helps preserve their shelf life.

    I was living on a boat and we had a freezer but no refrigerator so we learned tricks in order to save space.

    It's funny because whenever I get a new roommate I like to leave eggs out on the counter and watch them freak out, it's safe and there is never enough room in the fridge!

    Marko, if the eggs are too much, you can always cry into arms of your 18-year-old girlfriend, right? ha ha JK.

    At the RIU, they're really into making omeletts in the morning, and there is always a line of about ten peeps. They have a huge vat of egg with a ladel, and they poor eggs across a big grill, then make little square cut-marks for each guest. It's a pretty cool system. I would conservatively say that at least fifty percent of RIU guests have at least one omelett per day -- including me. But then, when they're not so readily available, I never eat 'em.

    of course I don't know for sure but they probably use what are commonly referred to as liquid egg product.... if they use fresh whole eggs im impressed.

    personally i have never seen a jamaican eat an egg that was not hard fried - probably protection from salmonella - and almost can't remember seeing them eat eggs for breakfast --- so when in "rome" i eat ackee and saltfish and peanut porridge for breakfast

    the eggs in JA taste really great. much better than most that I get in the US. I always wondered how much of that comes from not refrigerating them and how much is a function of a more natural diet.
