The American mind cannot comprehend this

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 18 points 10 hours ago (5 children)

Literally. I'm just sitting here wondering if European trains have a first class section or something.

The only eggs you'll find on an American train come in the form of a used tampon left on the floor...

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 29 minutes ago

You can use that as a teabag!

[–] NotLemming@lemm.ee 3 points 2 hours ago

Omg thanks for the visual!

Uhhh Amtrak has both First Class as well as Diner Cars with eggs lol. It’s just so slow and shitty that you’ve never bothered to be on it.

[–] freebee@sh.itjust.works 22 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

They do have first class. But the on board restaurant (if there is one) is accessable for all, not only 1st class travelers.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 10 hours ago

But in some trains, 1st class also includes service to your seat, while peasants need to walk to the restaurant car.

We paid a tiny bit more on a german train for dinner, fresh fish iirc and it was delicious, served by a waiter, god the railways in the uk are shit.

[–] NotLemming@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

Do English trains have actual food anymore, even in first class? It's been years since I travelled first class.

The American mind wonders why the yolks are a deep orange instead of neon yellow.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 12 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's just a matter of what you feed the chickens dude

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 29 minutes ago

Other chickens.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 10 hours ago

You're not kidding. I lived on land with ducks and chickens. Not only are the yolks a deep and rich color, they're thicker and more sticky. I miss having fresh duck eggs daily.

The European mind has never learned of carotenoids, I guess.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 2 points 8 hours ago

Y'all are never getting rid of me je voudrais manger all this merde up in here

[–] FatsoJackson@lemmy.ml 18 points 10 hours ago

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 10 points 9 hours ago

This is some gourmet shit

[–] match@pawb.social 19 points 10 hours ago

this is the future they took from us

[–] NotLemming@lemm.ee 16 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Obligatory how much did it cost, for the English getting reamed.

[–] sober_monk@lemmy.world 15 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

Based on the brochure on the table, this looks like a MÁV train, so probably 3,50€ for the food and 1,70€ for the coffee (source PDF). YMMV depending on which route you take.

[–] NotLemming@lemm.ee 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Good work detective. What a bargain! How about the train fares?

[–] sober_monk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Budapest to Vienna starts at 13€. Budapest to Hamburg is around 88€. Discounts may apply to students and seniors.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 3 points 7 hours ago

We almost had a train here in Alberta but it got cancelled until further notice because our provincial government is a dumpster fire of stupidity.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 16 points 11 hours ago

Damn that looks tasty.

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago

I've had it with these European eggs in this European train!

[–] ricdeh@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Omg this looks so good, sadly the food in German ICEs is not this colourful :(
