I hard boil eggs a lot and always try to let them come to room temperature before boiling. For some reason, they are much easier to peel later when you do that.

People in Europe don't refrigerate a lot of things. I had exchange students from Germany and they thought we were weird for having everything so cold all the time. Beer and milk especially - they drink that stuff warm. And our way of putting ice in our drinks - they thought that was funny.

Germans appreciate value for their money so adding ice to a drink is considered to be reducing the value. Even at McD’s, where more than three miniscule cubes was a surprise. You get used to it - I used to place soft drinks on the outside window sill to chill when I was the overnight Staff Duty Officer while serving in Germany.
