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.

The American mind cannot comprehend this

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...

[โ€“] freebee@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 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€“] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 4 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.

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

[โ€“] yakko@feddit.uk 5 points 2 hours ago

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

[โ€“] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 5 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€“] match@pawb.social 16 points 4 hours ago

this is the future they took from us

[โ€“] NotLemming@lemm.ee 14 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] sober_monk@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Based on the brochure on the table, this looks like 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€“] DmMacniel@feddit.org 14 points 6 hours ago

Damn that looks tasty.

[โ€“] angrystego@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

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

[โ€“] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 3 hours ago

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

[โ€“] ricdeh@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

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