Thurs Edition of 'Would MM eat this'

[pacificrules]

I hard boiled eggs last night. I took them out of the water at 11 and thought H would put them away when he got home. When I came downstairs at6:30 this morning they were still on the counter.

I hard boiled them to take a few for lunch today. Should I scrap that plan, or go with it??

[Brie]

I wouldn't eat them.

[ijack]

yes

[hamster]

I vote they're fine.

[dirtyred]

If I ate hard boiled eggs, I'd eat them.

[jennistarr1]

I don't eat eggs but it seems to me that I see people tote these around with them not refrigerated and after easter, I feel like they sit in our baskets and people still eat them

[countthestars]

Yes

[raangoli]

I say yes, they were already cooked. Although I probably would not eat them after today.

[takeonyou]

They are fine.

[KaraOrNot]

I would eat them.

[mrssandro]

yes, I would eat them.

[funnygirlglee]

I vote yes

[Pom]

Boiled eggs are fine.

[Muddled]

Yes

[hainesherway]

Probably not.

[genet313]

They are fine.

[cjeanette]

I would eat them. It is my understanding that uncooked eggs don't need refridgeration.

[vtdiamond]

Yup, I'd eat them.

That was my thought, too. However, in my googling I found that the reason for that is a protective 'cuticle' which occurs naturally on eggs' shells. Unfortunately, it gets obliterated during the processing done in this country. So, I guess it'd be different for store bought and farm fresh eggs.

We buy farm fresh. I still refridgerate them out of habit though.

[midnightmare81]

You can leave farm fresh eggs out for a while. Eggs are age about 1 week on the counter vs 1 month in the fridge. I would probably eat them if they were farm fresh

[rugbywife]

If an egg has never been refrigerated it can stay out and be fine. If an egg was previously refrigerated it needs to remain refrigerated.

I would probably eat them, but I wouldn't serve them to others.
