Eggs : New Found Glory or Bad Company?

I like eggs. Best forms of egg: omelette w/cheese, fried in London cafe, scrambled with a bit of milk and a lot of herbs.

Worst forms of egg: canteen-issue egg mayo sandwiches.

I like those eggs grilled @ the greasy spoon diners w/ the paprika- spiced potatos. Mmmmm. Egg-drop soup, however, is vile.

Damn this place for lowering my already low productivity level. (And thank Jehovah for this place, too.)

Fortunately I did not have to eat this culinary aberration. And pregnant women, children and the elderly should avoid it too.

my dad used to drink eggs rocky-style and maybe that's what turned me against them. after an egg bender, he'd get quite violent and throw things.

And yes, you loathe cheese more than eggs, but you talk about BOTH of them for no reason, and we weren't discussing cheese until you SUSPICIOUSLY BROUGHT IT UP.

(Mike Hanley is now my new favorite person.)

Nicole: Fred is a liar, he eats PIZZA which is covered in cheese.

I can't wait til someone has eggs so I can gross them out with the uterine lining comment.

I asked him why he didn't want his. He shrugged and said he "didn't like eggs." HOW CAN A RATIONAL HUMAN BEING NOT LIKE EGGS?!?!? Eggs are like, the perfect food! I still remember the adverts on TV the first time we visited America, going "the incredible edible egg" and I thought America must be the best place in the world if people ate so many eggs that they advertised them on the telly. (Oh, how wrong I was. The truth was that Americans at the time ate so *few* eggs that the National Egg Advisory Board had to hire advertising space promoting their food...)

In fact, you've made me so hungry for an egg that I think I'm going to make myself another implausibly large egg and cress baguette this morning.

The best thing about eggs is that they go very well with brown sauce.

What is best about eggs is that they go with *anything*! You can slap brown sauce or ketchup or whatever, and make them a savoury meal, or else you can make them into eggy bread and put sugar and cinnamon or maple syrup on them and make them a sweet. I mean, how great is that?

And imagine the hilarity when I moved in with sucessive American roommates, and offered to make them "eggy bread" for breakfast. I mean, I thought it was perfectly self evident what eggy bread was.

Mmmm, now I'm craving eggy bread, but we've got no bread, so I'll have to go down the shops to get bread to make eggy bread, and that means I've got to have a shower, and that means I've got to stop writing my massive fuckoff pompous reply to Momus's massive fuckoff pompus post about graphic design in pop. Sigh.

1. Eggy Bread (despite being very very English my mum clearly had delusions of grandeur hence the French Toast nonsense)

2. Scrambled

3. Fried

4. Omelette

5. Soft boiled with soldiers but NO MARMITE.

6. Poached

7. Hard boiled. Yuck. Specially if the bit round the yolk is going black.

8. Coddled as I don't know what this involves but it sounds suspicious.

Honest!

Devilled eggs are also yummy. Scotch eggs, however, are not.

this headline would describe on eday in my high school time when I was at the Seitz's house. A tiny chicken in the egg. Its an asian delicacy apparently.

(Um, that's not gonna calm _anyone_ down, is it?)

Sample recipes: Stink Bug Paté; Mealworm Spaghetti; Chongcha ("a tea made from the frass—the technical term for insect excrement—of Hydrillodes morosa and Aglossa dimidita"); Witchetty Grub Dip

(There was a photo in the last-but-one issue of the Fortean Times, of a McN*gget which contained a whole golden-battered chicken- HEAD, inc. comb. The lucky little purchaser was offered a whole free Happy Meal in generous recompense, but had unaccountably, and very suddenly, lost her appetite...)

What does Paul Rodgers have to do with eggs?

Eggs may be the perfect thing.

Medium eggs are kinder eggs

I never thought about egg size in connection with animal welfare before.

This guy is representing free-range producers and I'm guessing that the largest sizes of egg can only be reliably produced through more intensive, battery-type farming, so it's a bit of jockeying for position with those guys and just boils down to marketing crap. The 'kinder' argument is totally bogus. I suppose it *is* kinder relatively speaking, but free-range chickens are still routinely debeaked with no pain relief, they're still bred to produce up to an egg a day (wild hens would ovulate only about 20 times a year) and they're all still shipped off to slaughter once the overall productivity of the flock falls. It's not really an industry where kindness is of much consequence.

Plus don't forget the baby male chicks.

If it's kinder relatively speaking, that's worth taking into account, isn't it?

I just made the best scrambled eggs I've ever made. Cracking them straight into the pan is definitely the way to go. Also absolutely shitloads of butter doesn't hurt.

If it's kinder relatively speaking, that's worth taking into account, isn't it?

Yeah, but you're talking about a little marketable ripple of kindness on an ocean of couldn't-care-less.
