OP, are you from somewhere other than the USA? I ‘ew someone who grew up in a European country where eggs did not need to be refrigerated (because, unlike in the US, the eggs were not washed before being sold).
When she came here, she didn’t realize that refrigeration was necessary. So, she was keeping her eggs at room temp, and got quite sick once. Someone else I know didn’t realize for a long time that eggs could go bad! (How she missed this, I can’t say; there is definitely an expiration date on cartons). She thought she was allergic to eggs, but turns out, she’d just had a few experiences with eggs too old to be eaten. I should add that both these women have advanced degrees from world-renowned universities. Smart in many regards, but not in matters related to the American egg industry! |
+1 so pp never actually got sick, but their health anxiety immobilized them to the point where they couldn’t leave their room. This one day of not feeling great ruined an entire week? And they blame BK? |
So you ruined your own vacation. |
What kind of "sick" do you get from regular eggs?
And the burger king story hurts my brain. I guess I'm glad you figured out you can eat that kind, but if you went in thinking you were allergic to eggs, why did you get the eggs at all? Why not pancakes or a plain English muffin? Go to an allergist. The above poster is right about the proteins in the food and how they're processed that changes potential for reaction. |
Once you realized BK was the only option for the whole trip, why didn't you then go out of your way to find a store and pick up some fruit or bread or whatever for the following days breakfasts instead of going to BK and then sitting in your room waiting to get sick all day? The long drive would have been annoying but once you stocked up you would have been fine to have a regular trip. |
Or skip breakfast. I'd rather be hungry for a morning than sick or sabotaging my vacation |
Or eat something besides eggs, French toast sticks? Sausage or chicken biscuits? |
I'm so confused. If you don't get sick from eating the breakfast there, why were you so sure you'd get sick? |
You can buy pasteurised whole eggs. Look at the labels, I’m pretty sure one brand makes them, maybe Eggslands Best? Not all stores sell them, but if you look around you might find them |
Now I’m tempted to try McDonald’s, OP. I had to give up eggs while breastfeeding, and when I tried to eat them again, I discovered I’d developed an intolerance. I get horrible cramps if I eat scrambled or hard-boiled eggs. Baked goods with eggs make my stomach mildly upset but I eat those anyway. It’s such an annoying development because eggs are so convenient (right, Burger King lady?)! |
Is Burger King Beach Vacation Lady the same as op?
She is hilarious! But probably not real. |
The obvious solution were the French toast sticks. |
Are you joking? That’s one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever heard. What’s the worst that was going to happen? You puke on the beach? Dig a hole for diarrhea? The fact that you stayed in a nasty hotel room across from a Burger King all week is just beyond weird. |
NP. There is so much wrong with your sentence and judgment that I am certain you are a narcissist. To above pp, you have a sense of humor. Something narcs do not have. They are also really dumb and you are smart and witty. |
I am so confused, what beach only has a Burger King? |
