EGGS
how do you like yours
would it be poached or fried or boiled or scrambled
or maybe made into an omelette with a little cheese
OR a indian restaurant i used to frequent many years ago made a boiled egg bhuna which was absolutely superb
do you find free range eggs have a better flavour
or do we think they have more flavour
i've seen organic eggs which seem very expensive are they actually worth the extra and how do you know they are organic
is there a difference in the shell colour or something that could give you a indication

Scrambled is my favourite, on toast, with or without extra stuff in it. Mandatory after hangovers.

I don't know about the power of suggestion but every time I've had a particularly fine egg I've asked and yep, it's been free range. In some cases I've had them still warm from the chicken before going into the pan, can't get any fresher or more free-range than that. Shell colour makes no difference.

What is a boiled egg bhuna?

scrambled, over medium, benedict, yum.

At least I resisted the old joke about how I like my eggs: unfertilised, fnaar fnaar.

The worst experience with eggs was when I went to Corfu. It was a bastard of a trip, plenty were seasick but not this ironguts. On arrival the hotel gave us a boiled egg as part of breakfast. I cracked the shell and the yolk looked really dry, it had that flaky texture to it. I dug into it with the spoon and it was a bit more solid than I like. There was very little white, the yolk seemed abnormally large, so I hacked away at the shell and the yolk had eyes, a beak, feathers ... off I went to heave and the waiter said could you heave somewhere else please sir. I was off me food for the rest of the day.

omlette for me, with cheese and mushrooms.

Other than that, I defy anyone to say they don't like fried egg butties with brown sauce...

I love 'em. Scrambled witha dash of Lea and Perrins. ;)
Free range is best and organic is good they both have a better taste.

dash of L+P?????

You want to drown it in the stuff!

I get through a bottle a fortnight! (and not those little rubbish ones either!)

do you think I have a problem?

I luv eggs the best are fried duck eggs with BIG orange yolks in em

Yummers!

They're a delicacy in China, fertilized eggs. Mind you, Chinese love eating any old wierd shit.

Re types of eggs, what's the most politically correct egg to eat? I always get confused in Waitrose. Are barn eggs the kindest, or free-range, or organic or what? I don't care what they cost, I just want the chickens to have a nice life.

Fried egg sarnie with brown sauce? No thanks - I dont like brown sauce.

Scrambled

French toast with tomato sauce and bacon, or in real carbonara sauce.

a like em fried

Not sure whether you noticed, but this thread is about eggs. I don't see them mentioned here?

:D

French toast= eggy bread.
Carbonara sauce= eggs, cream and bacon

In which case, my favourite kind of eggs are in fact sponge cake.

Okay, okay, okay... I choose an omlette with cheese, chorizo, red onions and mushrooms.

Have you never even had eggy bread? It so counts as a kind of eggs...

eggy bread is different to french toast though - french toast is like real thin toast and eggy bread is bread dipped in egg then fried..... isnt it?

My old flatmate used to have a digestion problem which created such miasma that we still call him Eggy Mitchell.

Boiled with toasted soldiers for me, with Chicken Bovril on the soldiers - a real 'chicken and egg' situation, ho ho!

I very nearly suffered humour-related incontinence upon reading that post.

No, you're thinking of melba toast, that's the thin stuff. French toast and eggy bread are one and the same, it's just that I can be a wee bit posh sometimes.

Mmmm....eggy bread. Tis lovely...

Barn eggs are just battery eggs except without the cages so the chickens can peck each others eyes out etc, they have no room!

Organic just means they have been fed organic feed..

Get free-range organic to settle ur concience...

or a chicken!

they r ace, my mate had a 'rescue' cock fighting shicken called chester and kept him in the kitchen until he err... laid an egg!

so chestina went to a animal shelter after that (cos they wouldn't take boy chooks, the sexist bastards!)

bugger, wtf is a shicken???!!

Eggs are fucking disgusting and I for one never touch them. If you want to shovel aborted embryos down your necks that's up to you lot, frankly I think they're horrible and slimy.

OK then, free-range organic it is then. I bet they're only about $17.95 from Waitrose.

Speaking of cock fights - I've actually been to a couple. Fucking wild. They got the birds pissed before the fight by spittong grog down the bird's throat. And if the cocks decide they can't be arsed to fight any more, they put them both in a big basket like a dirty washing basket, and shake them round like woah. Then they come out fighting again. Pretty horrible.

Anyways, didn't mean to derail the thread. I like boiled eggs the best.

You're a cunt of the highest order mate. The very fact you went to a cockfight says to me you're a cunt. Why didn't you pick up the phone and inform the cops?

were they free-range organic cocks?

Because I was in Indonesia where it's legal.

I am a cunt though, so fair call.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM! Duck eggs!

Poached, with buttered toast.

I agree, but not duck eggs, blurgh, chicken eggs

I used to love egg and chips but i developed a allergy to them a few years back so now i can't have any.

y duck eggs bleeeerrgh?/

scrambled like my brain

Caviar, bleech! No thanks.

A nice, large, brown chickens egg boiled until hard is jolly nice on it's own, but for the full experiance you want it fried and served betwixt two slices of granery breaqd (lightly toasted) with lettuce, grain mustard and three rashers of lean grilled bacon. :)

*droooooool*

Scrambled eggs.

have to be duck eggs, with chopped chives, black pepper, a teaspoon of brown sauce a splash of worcestshire sauce and lots of salt.
