Eggs...

A boiled egg doesn't keep as long, the shell is more
permeable.

Is there a difference between how long eggs keep well when
they're boiled compared to raw?

During the 18th century in England it was popular to
preserve eggs by boiling, then shelling and pouring a
boiling vinegar containing pepper, allspice, garlic, and
ginger. The eggs were edible after a month without
refrigeration..

And as memory serves and so I maybe wrong both boiled and
raw eggs an be preserved by the use of lime solutions and
sodium metasilcate solutions. The chemicals seal the shell
pores and inhibit microorganisms. This method was used as
far back as ancient Egypt and as recently a mid-20th Century
here in the States. They do get rather nasty and can still
be edible. Maybe it was only raw eggs.

Or you can store them in them refrigerator:-)

This is interesting, keeping eggs is a problem any culture
would have had. It reminds me of the chinese "thousand year
old" eggs. One can find them in chinese markets, often with
a covering that looks like dried on dirt and kept at room
temperature. They, if memory serves, are put into clay and
then into a dung heap. The heat of the dung "cooks" them,
not really 1 k years but some number of weeks I don't
recall. It has been some years since I ate one, the taste is
not unlike a boiled egg. The thing that sticks in one's
memory is that the white and yolk are variation on the color
purple. It might be similar to the lime method below for
sealing the shell, I think clay tends to be alkaline.

I don't know about boiled eggs, but you were correct about
raw eggs and preservation in lime and sodium solution. I
know about people in Europe, who still do it.

The eggs taste slightly changes and the preserved eggs are
usually used for baking.
