Poll question: Do ya hate eggs?
I can barely tolerate them in fried rice, and when I make french toast I cook it till it's dry.

3. Do you put vanilla in your french toast batter? I do. It helps disguise the eggs.

mom's issues with them. LOL

but I don't really care for a plate of eggs as breakfast food.

54. I do love eggs as a breakfast food. It's the one problem I have with breakfasts in Italy.
No eggs and they get downright unpleasant about sausage for breakfast (for some reason they think it is unhealthy for breakfast but not at later meals). I really don't like all the sweet breads and cakes they serve for breakfast. They're great tasting but I want my eggs for protein.

6. No Mam
I thoroughly enjoy fried eggs over medium. And about once a year I go to Waffle House and get cheeseneggs. Delicious.

10. I, a non egg-eater, make them for my egg-loving husband. But since I don't enjoy them I have
a lot of trouble figuring out when they are done "right". So this medium egg concept thoroughly eggscapes me. :P

19. To me
its like pornography, I can't define it but I know it when I see it. And "medium" means different things to different folks. I like the white cooked but the yolk slightly runny. I like my steaks medium rare and ya get a different end result from restaurant to restaurant. My wonderful wife cooks my eggs (and steaks) up just right.

23. Yes, cooked whites and slightly runny yellow is the way hubby likes them, but sometimes
I overcook or undercook, and sometimes I get them just right but I break the yolk while trying to get them from the pan to the plate.

57. My parents have a jobby for making boiled eggs.
Somewhat like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wahl-ZX642-Electric-Boiler-cooks/dp/B000X2A40G/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&qid=1197631820&sr=1-4

They're very happy with the results, I'm not a fan of boiled eggs so can't really comment.

There are things that God wants us to learn...danged if I can figure out more than some vanishingly small percentage.

:scared: pulverized shells scare me, so do rubbery and runny ones.

22. I am pretty good at leaving a shell shard or two behind. However, this is not as bad as, say,
eating crabmeat with shells in it. Hubby has told me so himself. (I don'[t eat that stuff either.)

31. Nothing ruins crab meat like a piece of shell bit or
gritty sand in shrimp. blech..

The pulverized shell in eggs that I was referring to is from this thread in case you missed it.

37. Right. I think the feed has a hormone added to make Mr Rooster unncessary. However, if you buy
organic there is always a chance you may crack one of them open and find a half-developed bird in your skillet.

Millions of helpless infant chickens are slaughtered in the name of liberals and their high-cholesterol breakfasts.
Ladies and gentlemen, I need your money today to save these chickens in the name of God Almighty, so they may grow to
full size and be cooked by my good friends at Chick-fil-a, just as the Good Lord intended

Frittatas are a quick and easy dinner, fried eggs with nice runny yolks to dip your toast in are heaven, and the red beet pickled egg is the king of bar-food-in-a-jar.

58. Depends on how they're cooked.
Scrambled eggs are gorgeous, especially with smoked salmon or bacon fried until crispy.

I'm not so keen on boiled or fried eggs.

61. They're OK, but I'm kind of sick of them.
I used to have them once a week for lunch... sunday afternoons, for some reason, were always either grilled cheese (which I hate, and am COMPLETELY sick of), or eggs.

I just recently rebelled... being sick of having eggs once a week.

I can tolerate them as a breakfast food though. And I like poached eggs. And crepes.
