Leaving eggs at room temperature

if you kept them in a nitrogen atmosphere, like some of the packed meats, would this help lifespan ?
potatoes/apples are in stasis in a different atmosphere, I thought, the old potatoes still taste new.

aren't potatoes basically last years crop because farms store them for so long?
found a cool website about potato storage with pictures and diagrams of how they used to be stored back in the old days

google says they taste best within a few days of being picked, I should really try to grow some one time

Don't you just love the internet :p

I imagine there are a lot of foods in the category of "we don't actually know what it tastes like", potatoes being one of them...

Potatoes are easier to grow than hair

yea I grow some stuff in my windows

I'd love to grow some proper bananas, you know those banana sweets from the 80s/90s that don't taste like bananas, that's apparently because they tasted like bananas did before we got robbed with the cavendish or whatever the Frankenstein of today is called

Never heard of banana sweets - I have had some "proper bananas" when I was out in Bangladesh for a few weeks though. The seeds are a bit annoying!

Do Pick and Mix stands still exist (I guess not)? :(

Banana sweets, oh yeah, soft and squidgy things (like a Marshmallow).

To answer the original question, eggs in the fridge due to the tray as I was a little slow to realise they are not stored in fridges at the supermarket; so now in a little bowl on the side.

Baking Potato's in the cupboard, only they begin sprouting so quickly - usually trim the little roots off and bake. Still amazed how quick they start growing! Jersey Royals in the fridge.

I always thought egg trays in fridge's was partly a marketing ploy.If someone was deciding which fridge to buy they would go for the one with the egg tray because well it's something extra.

More subtle than that: https://www.sciencefriday.com/articles/why-dont-banana-candies-taste-like-real-bananas/

By coincidence the old popular banana has more of the chemical that was abused for "banana flavour" but the chemical for banana flavour was not obtained from bananas at all, it was a good enough result from some pratting about in a lab trying to fake flavours.

Also it wasn't even a great tasting banana but really good for shipping so valuing its taste through fake banana flavour being slightly more like it is highly questionable :p
