  • Caught me before I was able to edit! I thought about it for a second and decided that estimate was too high.

    10 people is what I would usually say is a normal amount, maybe variable depending on how hungry people arrive and if there are any other dishes to snack on at whatever hypothetical party this is.

    I can only eat 3-4 slices at most before I get full, but my appetite isn’t the biggest.

    Usually what ends up happening is that I still order a party pizza for a group of 5 or so people and then end up with leftovers for a few days. Just can’t beat the surface-to-crust ratio.





  • Salmonella. It’s carried in chicken dung, sometimes eggs get a bit of feces on them, so the US washes them to attempt to reduce exposure.

    Problem is that without the protective coating, the eggs are more permeable and susceptible to bacterial infection, hence the refrigeration.

    So it’s a question of whether it’s better to reduce bacteria exposure or susceptibility. I am sure there’s research out there with numbers indicating one works better than the other, but it’s been such a long-standing thing at this point that I don’t think Americans would trust unrefrigerated eggs.
