Usually, yeah. People will hide them for kids to find or they'll sit out as decorations for a few days. By the time they're done being "Easter eggs" they're all kinds of nasty / spoiled. (American eggs require refrigeration)
Bruh you hard boil them before you hide them.
They go right into egg salad/ deviled eggs after the game.
This whole thread is sending me 😂
my family would dye the eggs as a big event, and then store them in the fridge and eat them. i never knew people would just throw them away.
we are also german, though- we do the whole popping a hole in the shell and blowing the inside out in order to make the decorative ones that one leaves at room temperature.
how irrational to dye them and then let them spoil.
My American experience was the same as your German one.
Some of these people in my country ain’t right if you haven’t noticed.
...
You hide them THE DAY OF the Easter egg hunt. And you go round up the ones the kids don't find after. No spoilage unless you miss one.
And you don't just leave hard boiled eggs sitting out. If you want decorations you can leave out, you hollow out the eggs before decorating.
Seriously, this all sounds like a you issue. Who just leaves eggs out as "decoration"?
Does this egg-washing thing Americans do mean you have to keep them refrigerated even if they are hard-boiled? Because where I live you can keep hard-boiled eggs for days or even weeks even at room temperature. I never heard of anyone just throwing away the eggs they hide for kids. You hide them, the kids find them, you put them in the fridge, you eat them.
Edit: I don't know if you added the part about refrigeration later or I just missed it before. That answers my question. I guess it makes sense because the shell will be porous. Wow, I never considered this affects easter customs.
idk what the fuck everyone else is talking about, we absolutely ate those hardboiled dyed eggs
Yeah I thought I was going nuts here. The eggs seemed like one of the least wasteful parts of the whole celebration.
That’s unusual. Not usual. People ate those eggs.
We put the hard boiled ones back to the fridge and use hollow ones as decoration - you make a small hole at the top and the bottom, blow out the good stuff, make an omelette or something and let the shell dry out. You can keep those as a decoration that doesn't spoil.
