      I was 0, we went to the UK and to Switzerland.. I think my family would go to another European country every year, but never to another continent.
      I think I got to 15 different countries before I was 18
      Of course most countries here are rather small so it's not a very big feat. It's like a Texan that goes to Arizona or Oklahoma.
      My parents were not rich at all , especially when we were a young family. Yet they still could go on holiday every year usually camping in tents.

    American eggs are washed with warm water and a detergent thats why you need to store eggs in the fridge in the US. Dutch or European eggs are not being washed leaving a protective barrier on the shell which makes it possible to store them outside the fridge. Sometimes there is still a feather on the unwashed egg.

      Actually not. These eggs come from the egg factory and they purposely add the odd feather to it to give you the impression that it has actually been laid 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  • @PetervanGinneken
    @PetervanGinneken Місяць тому +47

    The story behind the feathers on the eggs is easy.
    When eggs are laid there is natural thin protective layer on the surface. If you wash the eggs to remove things like small feathers you also remove that layer. Without that layer eggs are vulnerable to bacteria. That is why in the US eggs need to be refrigerated. European eggs you can keep at room temperature.

    • @Jacqueline_Thijsen

    Offering coffee is considered the very minimum of hospitality here. Even my vet has a water cooler in his waiting room and a sign that says you can ask the assistant for coffee or tea. They will sometimes offer it without being asked.
    I suspect that it's a fairly cheap way for stores to keep you in there for a longer time. Or from going away if you feel the wait is too long. You'll stay there for at least as long as it takes you to finish that coffee.

  • @TomgTomg1

    As to the dutch families eating dinner later; its usually because one or both of the parents work 'till 1700 but value family dinnertime a lot.
    travel home is around 30-45 minutes, take 10-20 mins to relax, so they eat dinner between 1800 and 1830. If both parents work they still have to cook when they get home so you add on another 30 mins minimum, you get to 1900 for dinnertime.😉

    Historically, dinner in Dutch households was at 5 p.m. sharp, as families waited for dad to come home. Back then, moms were typically homemakers. But now, with most parents working and balancing childcare, dinner tends to be later, although families still highly value eating together-it’s seen as a sign of a healthy family dynamic. These days, it’s tougher to have kids ready at 5, and we’re fine with dining out a bit later, as family meals are important, even when eating out. For special occasions like anniversaries, parents might leave the kids with grandparents, but for regular outings, they’re usually part of the tradition too.

      Put an egg in water. When it lies flat at the bottom, it’s fresh. When the egg gets older, the smaller side starts to point upwards, but it’s still perfectly fine to eat. When it floats, get rid of it. This is because the eggshell becomes more poreus over time, and air gatheres inside the egg.

    I travelled first with my parents to Hungary to visit family there, when I was 2,5 years old. First time I travelled by myself (other than biking of course) by transit in the city I must have been about 8 years. And when I got 12, my friends and me bought a tienertour ticket (unlimited travel throughout the entire country for teens) and we crisscrossed the entire country by ourselves. Great memories from those days ... I was 16 when I first travelled abroad alone by train to Budapest.
    My favourite dinnertime is between 20:00 and 21:00, but that's not how I grew up. When I was still a little boy we had breakfast between 7:45 and 8:30, lunch between 12:30 and 13:30 (because of school times in those days) and dinner at about 17:30. As I am a mix of Hungarian and Dutch, my Hungarian genes slowly grew stronger and since I left my parents house to go study in Utrecht, I stick to regelli at 6:00 (breakfast), tízorai at 10:00 (10 o'clock meal, second breakfast🤣), ebéd between 12:00 and 13:00 (lunch), teás at 16:00 (tea meal) and vacsora between 20:00 and 21:00 (dinner). Tízorai and teás are usually cold and savoury and sweet respectively, the rest is savoury either cold or warm.

    Oh yea there are feathers on the eggs, but not all the time, it's because most people throw away the egg shell anyway so is it a problem if it isn't perfectly clean?
    Also you get offered coffee? What places do you go? I never get that (except that one dude at mcdonalds but there I have to pay for it, I don't like it when he does the orders)
    About dinner, some people do it really late (I know Bram's family used to do it like at 20:00 but I think Bram stopped doing that since my sister works early) but when I say that I'll be on time for dinner at home, that generally means that I get home between 18:00 and 18:30 (I never know the exact time I get home because rush hour)
    BTW we might have cought that rain in Haarlem as well while we were making the transfer mondayevening, did I guess correct?

    About the dinner times. It depends on if you live in a city or in a village. In a village people often have dinner around 16.30 - 17.00. 17.30 at the latest. Especially the farmers. Cause they also have to get up and start working really early in the morning. I believe they get up around 4.00 and they usually have a warm meal for lunch around 12.30 and then they have bread for "dinner" around 16.30.

    I've grown up with that if there are guests, you always need to offer some drinks, coffee/tea is the most common things as it cost the least time to prepare/money. And clearly this basic thing has gone to everywhere.So it's a basic gesture of hospitality everywhere you go. Most of the time it's also to keep you busy while you need to wait.

Now I live on my own and dinner is somewhere between 18.00 and 20.30. If little kids nap in the afternoon and their regular schedule is with a later dinner what is the issue. My point of reference is always the south of Europe where dinner starts at 21.00 and ends at maybe 23.00, but they have a siesta in the middle of the day.

    The 17.30 eating time, or 18.00, is quite normal for me and a lot of people at home. The later or earlier diner times is because people try to escape the busy period and thus order not at the regular time we're all used to. Also, dining is quite a time consuming thing, not a minute thing. So people tend to go later because they have more time then.

    There was a time when Dutch people expected you to leave or ask you to leave when it was dinnertime (around 5:30). So be glad when Dutch people ask you to stay for diner.
