The American mind cannot comprehend this

[โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 9 hours ago (3 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...

Omg thanks for the visual!

[โ€“] [email protected] 19 points 9 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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 9 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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour 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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 19 points 9 hours ago

this is the future they took from us

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago

This is some gourmet shit

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Based on the brochure on the table, this is a MรV train, so probably 3,50โ‚ฌ for the food and 1,70โ‚ฌ for the coffee (source PDF). YMMV depending on which route you take.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 54 minutes ago

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

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 10 hours ago

Damn that looks tasty.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe the person ordered like that but the eggs look extremely overcooked lol, but at least it all looks fresh

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Seems A-OK to me. I like it crispy.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

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