is poached You may have a different choice

[a kennedy]

1. Sorry debm55, I love poached eggs, the one that'll go for me is ugh.....hard boiled eggs.

[debm55]

3. Thank you a kennedy.

[hlthe2b]

2. Exclude the poached, for sure, but bring me an omelet!

(ok, scrambled if I can't have an omelet, but cook the eggs, please, without making them runny OR rubbery)...

[debm55]

4. Thank you hlthe2b

[surfered]

5. No poached eggs? Not even for Eggs Benedict?

[debm55]

8. Surfered, You can keep the poached eggs I picked poached eggs for me to go

[surfered]

12. I don't abuse them, but I do enjoy Eggs Benedict on special occasions.

So, thank you.

[debm55]

27. You are welcome.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

6. Why does one of them have to go?

I like them all.

[debm55]

9. Oh well, what can I say. Pick your least favorite

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

86. I have no least favorite.

Guess I'm not like others here.

[debm55]

87. That's fine. It's okay.

[Tadpole Raisin]

7. Poached, cuz hard boiled eggs can lead to deviled eggs

so they have to stay.

[debm55]

10. Thank you Tadpole Raisin. I agree

[stopdiggin]

21. soundest of reasoning ! can we go ALL hard boiled should become ... ?

[electric_blue68]

69. Ha! At our big family gathering way back I was either the deviled eggs maker, and scooper into the halved whites, or...

or rarely just the scooper.

We brought my mom's deviled egg holder! 👍😄

[EYESORE 9001]

11. As I can count all my poached eggs on one hand

I won’t miss them at all. I heard random references to poached eggs on TV shows in the 60s, and even though most of the adults knew what they were, nobody proclaimed any great affection for them. The general consensus seemed to be that poached eggs were ‘effete’ or pretentious and bland to boot. I ate navy chow for a few years and only once were they mentioned - when an officer got poached eggs specially prepared for him due to nursing a peptic ulcer. In retrospect, I’ve seldom seen poached eggs on a menu, and if I find myself in a place equipped to prepare poached eggs without delay or hiccup, chances are that I’ll surely opt for something more tasty than poached eggs. I fear for the future of a dish that was considered an anachronism some 60 years ago.

[debm55]

13. Agree with you , but some people like them so I included them . As a child we ate soft boiled eggs and I hated the

snotty texture and look of the eggs. I have never eaten Eggs Benedict. I included them as some people might like them

[Xavier Breath]

26. I'm in my late 50s, and although I've certainly heard of them, I've never actually eaten a poached egg.

I'll go further and say I don't think I've ever seen one cooked or consumed. It's kind of like having a slice of cheddar on a piece of apple pie: I've heard it mentioned in old movies but it's not something I'd like to try.

So, bye bye poached.

[EYESORE 9001]

31. I once tried the cheddar-on-apple pie thing

I was underwhelmed.

[Sneederbunk]

14. Don't omit the egg coddler.

[Different Drummer]

15. I have to go with poached as I like all the others.

That and the fact that I once got violently ill for several days once after eating a poached egg. Never again!

[debm55]

16. Thank you Different Drummer. I agree with you. I do not like poached eggs either.

[ZDU]

17. NOPE

Poached is the BEST ever

[debm55]

18. Thank you ZDU. So it stays. Which one do you want to go? My choice is poached to go and the rest to stay. You can keep

poached eggs. but please pick an egg you don't like. Welcome to DU

[ZDU]

46. They're like children... I cannot lose any of them.

[debm55]

47. Okay. bye

[stopdiggin]

19. poached eggs fer' sure (unbelievably fussy ..

both in the preparation, and the hoity-toity perfectionists that practice it)

second up - - the 'soft-boiled egg'. No, just NO ! And please just get over yourself !

[debm55]

22. Thank you stopdiggin. I agree with your choices to the egg to go.

[Squeaky41]

20. Runny fried eggs atop other dishes.

[debm55]

23. Thank you Squeaky41. And I agree with you.

[justaprogressive]

24. Poached

AND hardboiled

[debm55]

28. Thank you justaprogressive.

[LoisB]

25. I guess I would have to pick poached to go.

[debm55]

29. Thank you LoisB You can pick another one. Poached is the one I want to go for me.

[LoisB]

41. No, poached is my pick. My favorite is sunny side up but with salmonella fears, I don't eat eggs that way now.

[2naSalit]

30. I don't mind poached eggs...

As long as the whites are fully cooked. My mom used to make them and put them on toast, I never make them myself... I hardly ever cook eggs for myself. I'll make an entire breakfast sometimes only without the eggs. They're not my favorite food.

[debm55]

35. Thank you 2naSalit. A agree with the eggs being fully cooked.

Southwest Avocado Toast with Hard Boiled Eggs 🤎

[2naSalit]

72. Nope...

Not poached, can't deal with runny yolks and avocado in the same dish. Maybe the hard boiled thing but, eggs aren't my favorite thing to eat.

[catbyte]

32. Hard boiled because they're boring on their own, but a fried egg without the white set is the worst.

[debm55]

36. Thank you catbyte. I'll agree with that.

[Freddie]

33. Poached or sunny side up

Any preparation where the yolk is still runny. We Pennsylvania Dutch call this “dippy eggs” - dip your buttered toast in the runny yolk. Watched my mom eat this for breakfast growing up. Yuck.

[debm55]

37. I like dippy eggs. But the whites must be set. Thank you Freddie.

[TommieMommy]

34. No poached eggs for me 🐣all the others are good

[debm55]

38. Thank you TommieMommy. I agree.

[NotASurfer]

39. Well...just get rid of eggs as their own thing. Simpler that way

Sometimes the eggs are the only option or I know how much trouble somebody went to in order to put breakfast out and I'm too dang polite for my own good. Same thing here applies to egg salad and deviled eggs

I've had to develop a strategy to get past taste/texture issues - put enough hot sauce on the eggs to make them taste like hot sauce. Pain masks any textures that I don't like

Guess I'm saying, eggs as the star of the dish aren't my favorite things. Disguised in cake or cookies...different story

If it's just one of the list, hard boiled are done for. Have to cook them first, and they always crack no matter what temp the water, and I have to peel them, and they always crack &@##%!!# shell always sticks, and I don't like them to begin with. Leaving hard boiled eggs to the pros who like 'em!

[debm55]

40. I take it you don't like eggs? Thank you NotASurfer.

[beemerphill]

42. Bye Bye Poached

No Contest

[debm55]

43. Agree with you beemerphill. Yuk

[ProfessorGAC]

44. Hard Boiled

Poached is my favorite style, so that has to stay.
If I can't have poached, then scrambled; preferably as an omelette.

[debm55]

45. Thank you ProfessorGAC Enjoy

[Phoenix61]

48. Fried eggs can go. I love all the rest.

Nothing like Eggs Benedict for Sunday Brunch.

[debm55]

50. Phoenix61 Thank you very much.

[Phoenix61]

49. Oops Double post. nt

[debm55]

51. That's okay.

[Siwsan]

52. Definitely poached.

Not a second of hesitation is tossing that one out.

[debm55]

55. Thank you Siwsan, I agree

[DFW]

53. I don't eat a lot of eggs

But I never get or ask for poached. I usually only splurge at my favorite hotel in Sprout City whose breakfast buffet has a great omelet bar. Mushrooms, artichoke hearts, diced tomatoes and chives, adding Swiss and Cheddar cheeses at the end. After one of those, I’m egged out for several days.

[debm55]

56. Thank you DFW. That omelet bar sounds great.

[Shermann]

54. Hard boiled eggs can go

...right into my lunch box! Eggs on the go.

[debm55]

58. Thank you Shermann. When I was a kid I would eat them with salt on them.all by themselves no bread , etc.

[Shermann]

82. I still love them!

To make them a bit more decadent, you can spread a bit of mayo on. Duke's mayo of course!

[debm55]

84. Dukes, DUKES. Thank you Shermann. I like the MW.

[arkielib]

57. I'm with you, Deb.

Poached eggs can go!

[debm55]

60. Thank you for you post, arkielip

[wendyb-NC]

59. Poached eggs along with fried eggs

I don't care for either of them.

[debm55]

61. Thank you very much, wendy-NC

[dhol82]

62. Do not like omelets. Really don't see the joy in them.

Also, only like my scrambled very soft - the way the French make them.
When I made scrambled eggs for me and my husband, mine were done in short order while his stayed in the pan for several minutes longer and made a large lumpy volume.
Whatever. He also only ate his steaks like hockey pucks.

[debm55]

65. Thank you dhol82

[Ilikepurple]

63. Hard boiled eggs can go, but I don't hate them.

I just like all the others a little better.

[debm55]

66. thank you, ILikepurple for you post

[Luciferous]

64. You can keep the fried and the poached

[debm55]

67. Thank you for your post, Luciferous.

[TexasBushwhacker]

68. No poached for me n/t

[electric_blue68]

70. Poached, cause I love the others more. Though I don't think I've had a poached egg in decades!

[debm55]

74. Thank you electric_blue68

[MayReasonRule]

73. I Adore Poached Eggs And 'Jammy Eggs'..

I make 'Jammy Eggs' by lowering eggs on a slotted spoon into a large pot of already boiling water.

I cook them for 7 1/2 Minutes

I remove them with a slotted spoon immediately plunging them into a large previously prepared bowl of ice and water.

I cool them for 3 minutes.

Then... It's time to peel 'em and eat 'em up yum!!

Wife and daughter prefer theirs cooked for 10 1/12 minutes... then they dig 'em too!

Here's to eatin' well, sleepin' well and stayin' well!

[debm55]

75. Thank you very much for tell us how to make. MayReasonRule. enjoy.

[Bristlecone]

76. Probably poached, but only because it's not something I make or get served often enough

[debm55]

77. Thank you Bristlecone.

[Permanut]

78. Sunny side up..

My dog won't even eat one of those.

[debm55]

79. HAHAHAH. thank you Permanut.

[love_katz]

80. Fried.

I hate them fried.

[debm55]

81. Thank you love_katz.

[kozar]

83. I live for eggs!

No eggs must go!

Koz

[debm55]

85. Thank you kozar.

[sakabatou]

88. Poached.

[debm55]

91. Thank you sakabatou. I agree.

[beaglelover]

89. I was going to say hard boiled but then I remember that deviled eggs are made with them and I LOVE me some

deviled eggs, so I'll go with poached eggs.

[debm55]

92. Thank you beaglelover. I love deviled eggs . Enjoy.

[Kali]

90. poached

WTF? simmered eggs? no bacon grease? yuck, how bland. you can keep the plain hard boiled too, or at least the yolks. can eat the white or as deviled but hard boiled yolks make me gag.

[debm55]

93. Thank you Kali. Poached eggs are nasty.

[ailsagirl]

94. Probably poached. n/t

[debm55]

96. Thank you ailsagirl

[wnylib]

95. All must go for me. I am allergic to eggs.

But, I might eat the yolk from the boiled egg since it is the whites that I'm allergic to.

Fortunately, the allergy only affects me if the dish is all eggs or primarily eggs. I can eat foods that have one or two eggs diluted in the rest of the dish, like cake, cookies, meatballs, etc. But no angel food cakes, pies with meringue, omelets, or scrambled or fried eggs.

Before the egg allergy developed, my favorite was deviled eggs.

[debm55]

97. Thank you wnylib , Sorry about the allergy,

[womanofthehills]

98. Same here - had to fry only the yokes

Now I can have some white with yokes. I have less reaction with my own chicken eggs.

My easy way to get protein - raw egg yokes in smoothies and yogurt. However, I will only do this with my own chicken eggs that are freshly laid.

[debm55]

99. Thank you so much womanofthehills. Enjoy.

[wnylib]

102. I would not eat raw yolks or whites. I know that some people do,

but it's not for me. Also, now that people can get bird flu from animals, I would make sure that an egg was well cooked before eating it, if I did eat eggs. Cooking kills the virus.

[womanofthehills]

100. Another good question - are you making sure you get true free range eggs from humanly treated chickens?

Pay a little more for eggs so you are not getting poor quality eggs from chickens who are living on top of each other and never leave the cage or see sunlight. These chickens get GMO grains with pesticide and many have antibiotics in their food. Great to buy eggs from local people or keep a few chickens. I have 4 chickens & a roo with lots of super healthy eggs.

" If the carton says “certified humane” it means the birds were raised in a manner that meets certification requirements of Humane Farm Animal Care. Laying hens must be uncaged and have access to perches, nest boxes and dust-bathing areas. Flock density is limited but birds are not required to have access to the outdoors. Beak trimming is allowed; debeaking is not. Starvation to induce molting is not permitted.

Many pay a lot more for “certified organic” eggs. This means the birds must be fed organic, vegetarian feed and cannot be dosed with antibiotics. Birds cannot be caged. However, birds may be debeaked and starved to induce molting. The amount of outdoor access to the birds is not clearly defined and on many organic farms, birds may have access only to a small concrete yard."

[debm55]

101. My neighbor has hens and a roster. They are free range. He gives us the eggs for free.

[SWBTATTReg]

103. I only eat eggs perhaps once every six months or so, no particular reason, so I guess the poached eggs can

go. And the funny thing is about eggs, I do love them (especially scrambled eggs). Go figure. I guess we all go through a phase or something in life, or at least I am. I guess I need to fix all of my eggs in the refridge and then just stockpile it in the fridge.

[debm55]

104. Thank you SWBTATTReg

[orangecrush]

105. Hard boiled

[debm55]

106. Thank you orangecrush. They are kind of dry. I like better in egg salad or deviled eggs.

[orangecrush]

107. Most welcome

[Aristus]

108. Poached eggs are disgusting. They go, never to return.

My grandmother, with her thick Alabama accent, called them “porched aigs”.

[debm55]

109. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH. Thank you Aristus. That's funny.
