How Do You Eat Yours
 
Eggs that is.Just gobbled a hard (boiled) one:D Lovely,though i'm quite partial to poached,scrambled & fried & the occassional omelette.Poached & fried - runny yolk essential.I limit myself to maybe 2 a week at the most & maybe a small chocolate covered one at Easter.Though i'm past dunkin soldiers into a soft boiled one,i do find that a slice or two of thick buttered toast & a dash of pepper(but no salt) does enhance the taste experience of a softly poached or fried egg.Breakfast,dinner or tea,it's an egg with any meal for me.:D

...which gives you swollen ankles - trust me. :(

A soft boiled egg - not too runny - with a pinch of salt and buttered soldiers is a lovely breakfast. So is a fried egg - yolk splashed with hot fat to form a skin but leave it runny, sausages and bacon, grilled tomatoes, bread and butter. Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, or a mushroom omelet with rolls and butter - yummy.

I'm only allowed 2 eggs a week but I have eggs, one way or another - see above, every day for breakfast on holiday. Please don't tell my doctor. :D

I nip out in my slippers and buy eggs super fresh from the allotment next door. Sometimes they are still warm from the nest box. My favourite way of doing them is to fork/whisk the white and yolk together and pour it onto thick white bread, letting it soak in both sides, then fry it in virgin olive oil

I have heard its called that. I dont care for anything French -ever since I walked into a French hospital and came out 3 days later on a stretcher in an ambulance :) - that is very long story I might get around to telling sometime- but believe me Powerful Pierre was alive and well and was a male nurse.

I too like eggs most ways. Especially 3 or 4 every Sunday for brunch. Overeasy with 3 pieces of toast for dipping. Also have a raw egg or two(straight from the nesting box) or a hard boiled egg every afternoon.

I believe that whole cholesterol thing has been found to not be as accurate as the scare was back 20 years ago. However, it certainly got stuck in a lot of people's minds.

I dont eat eggs unless they are fried and the white cut off and on a sausage butty with tomato ketchup.

Might have something to do with setting fire to some when i was 12 the frying pan went up in flames when i took the lid off and my bro who was sleeping on the settee jumped up and put em out. Either that or it was my dads cooking when mum went away - he made mashed spuds and boiled eggs 4 nights on the trot for tea. The rest of the time it was bacon, egg and fried spuds for tea.

fried has to be runny with nice hot chips to dunk in ..yum :D Boiled for some reason i only eat the yolk bit mushed up on toast. I think its because it makes me feel sick when i find those specks of blood in the egg white :o

Re: How Do You Eat Yours
 
The humble hen’s egg is one of nature’s most versatile foods around.

Have I got this right? A fresh egg will sink to the bottom of the saucepan whilst a not so fresh egg will tend to float.

I like my eggs done in one of four ways – soft boiled or hard boiled for salads and sandwiches, fried with the white cooked through but the yoke soft, scrambled or as an omelette.

I keep my eggs in the fridge but to place them into boiling water is only asking for the shell to crack and it usually does. So I put the egg/s into cold water and bring it to the boil. As soon as the water is showing signs of boiling I set the timer running - 3½ minutes for a small egg, 4 - 4½ minutes for a medium sized egg and 5 - 5½ minutes for a large or extra large egg. The egg white is usually cooked and the yolk soft.

However a Charles D.H. Williams of the University of Exeter at http://newton.ex.ac.uk/teaching/CDHW/egg/ reveals that the egg white cooks at a temperature of between 62 – 65 degrees C, whilst the egg yoke will cook at between 65 – 70 degrees C. The duration is dependant on the freshness of the egg, its size/weight and the egg temperature upon insertion into the water. So it is not necessary to boil the water just maintain it at 65 degrees C if you want the yoke soft and the whiter hard.

Or you could go here http://www.hintsandthings.com/kitchen/eggs.htm and try that method.

A fried egg, preferably fried in butter but lard will do, goes well on a bacon buttie or part of a proper mixed grill. Chips, lamb chop, bacon, devilled kidney, fried tomatoes, fried onions and a liberal sprinkling of Daddy’s brown sauce. Some people like mushrooms in a mixed grill but I don’t like them.

Scrambled in butter on toast, buttered of course, but most people end up with a scrambled omelette because they over cook it. Melt some butter in a frying pan unless you can get hold of a special scrambled egg utensil.** Let the frying pan cool. Break in two or three eggs and whisk lightly. You cannot scramble more than three at a time successfully. Return the frying pan to a high heat and start stirring the mixture. DO NOT stop stirring. Once the snotty bits are beginning to show signs of being cooked reduce the heat to about half and keep stirring. Just before the whole mess is cooked take the frying pan off the heat and keep stirring. The egg will continue cooking from its own internal heat even as you spoon it out onto the toast. Add salt/pepper etc to taste and enjoy.

** A scrambled egg thingy was a saucepan type of thing that you filled with water, boiled the water and kept it boiling whilst you did the egg stirring thing in a fryingpan type of thing resting on top of the saucepan.

An omelette can be a meal on its own. Prepare some corned beef or spam or fried bacon or even chicken into tiny pieces. Or the whole lot. Having had the forethought of saving some of the new potatoes you boiled earlier cut a couple in to small pieces. Chop some cheese into small pieces. Chop up some spring onion. Add a few small pieces of tomato. Add bits of mushroom if that’s your thing.

Beat three eggs into a bowl. Beat them quite hard. Put your choice of fat/oil into a frying pan and heat until it is hot. Pour in the beaten egg and cook over a hot flame. As soon as the egg is showing signs of being cooked but the top is still quite runny pour on the other ingredients onto one half of the cooking omelette. Fold over the other half and cook for another minute or so. Slide onto a plate and garnish with your favourite sauce. A meal in itself.

I like egg and cress sandwiches.

We used to do eggy bread when I was younger. My Mum called it "Egberts" which was because they were eggs and bread but not egg buts (ie butties/sandwiches)

West Ender 15-05-2007 20:27

Re: How Do You Eat Yours
 
TIP!

If you like a light, fluffy omelet, cook it in the pan until it starts to solidify then place it, still in the pan, under a medium grill. The omelet will rise like a soufflé - but don't overdo it or it will sink again and end up like shoe-leather. It's even lighter if you add a little water to the beaten egg, before cooking, instead of milk.

Enjoy! :)
