Not a big fan of eggs but I love Eggs Benedict and the yolk must be runny for that.

I've always thought that Eggs Benedict looked and sounded delicious and I love hollandaise sauce (which I realize contains raw eggs but I just ignore that fact 😂) but I think I would have to cheat on the poached egg part and substitute scrambled eggs.

Well it depends on how you make hollandaise sauce, but even in a blender pouring the hot butter heats the yolks to a temperature so they're not really "raw." I make mine in a double boiler, so they are heated to a safe stage, if that type of things concerns you.

That's good to know! I've always had it in a restaurant and I figured they wouldn't serve it if it was highly likely to make me sick.

Runny eggs and soaking it up with a piece of toast.

Signed, million man.

Although I'm not into runny eggs I'm with you on soaking up any wet plate contents with a piece of toast/bread. That's called soppin' it up. 😁

Runny eggs are great for a hangover.

Along with a luke warm cup of coffee with a hair in it.

You've intrigued me with the hair. What is the hangover treating effect of a hair?

Based on my experiences during the few hangovers I've had I think the texture of a hair going into my mouth might be the one last thing it took to start a barfing session. 😂

🤣 I remember being hungover once and my friend suggested this for breakfast.

It didn't end well for me 😭

I like you so I didn't want to put down your hangover breakfast suggestion but between runny eggs and a hair in my drink it would not end well for me either. 😂😂😂

I don't like eggs that look like snot.

Follow up question, do you remove the little white embryo or do you like to chow down on beak and feet with your egg?

[–] fourlemons (2863) a month ago

Umm... What kinda eggs you been buyin'?

There's two kinds of people in this world - those who remove it and those who don't.

And if someone tries to tell you it's just chalazae - they be ca-ra-ze.

reply

[–] fourlemons (2863) a month ago

Well you had best remove it before you start throwing any eggs down south. I'm not interested in any pickled chicken beaks.

reply

[–] parkerbot (9875) a month ago

I think I over threw the first batch.

They landed in New Jersey - people keep mistaking them for drones instead of the pickled deliciousness that they really are.

reply

[–] fourlemons (2863) a month ago

You might need a refresher course in geography. If they landed in New Jersey then you underthrew them. No matter where you are in Canada, New Jersey comes before North Carolina.

At least I think so.

reply

[–] parkerbot (9875) a month ago

In my best Maxwell Smart voice, would you believe I threw them north going around the globe and wind blew them off course?

reply

[–] fourlemons (2863) a month ago

You're in luck. I'm not feeling so great today and a mildly fevered brain will accept that explanation.

I didn't get sick from eating runny eggs though.

This sounds like a great time to tell you about a financial opportunity that could make you millions with a nominal investment.

As the following chart shows, your investment will increase like the charges against P. Diddy:

Just throw all your available cash north at around 5:00 PST and I'll catch it.

No those squeaks and snorts are not the sounds of me laughing.

"Line chart" 😂🤣😂🤣

Ugh, me too! Just looking at the title made me shudder in disgust, can't stand 'em...Over hard and scrambled to the brink every time(and the only thing 'runny' in an omelette should be the cheese!)

And my favorite way to eat them is in sandwich form, both actual menu and/or improvised with the toast from whatever dish...Although it occurs to me that I've never tried to do a sandwich with an omelette which begs the related question/statement: Why not? and I want to try it!

I'm also a big fan of quiches...

reply

[–] fourlemons (2863) a month ago

I make cheese omelette sandwiches using English muffins at least once a week and I love quiche, too! We would do well eating breakfast together. Or lunch. Or dinner. 😁

I like all eggs that are cooked. I eat a hardboiled egg every day AND I eat the shell for added nutrients. I had never eaten the shell until this year when I saw a guy on youtube who recommended eating the shells.

I will respectfully take your word for it.

No. When I look at runny eggs, I see an egg that is under-cooked and might have salmonella in it. The few times I braved an egg with a runny yolk, it didn't taste so great. So I always make sure the yolk is solid from cooking before eating it.

My favorite egg dishes include, hash and eggs, scrambled, poached, omelette, and hard-boiled.

[–] fourlemons (2863) a month ago

I agree that runny eggs don't taste very good. At least my tongue doesn't think so!
