Do you eat poached eggs or sunny side up eggs?

[ASUHATER!]

I can’t get past the raw egg

Same. I've evolved enough so that I'll eat a poached egg that is cooked to that kinda medium gelatinous yolk or a medium-hard boiled egg but a runny yolk is still pretty much a no go for me.

Do you eat poached eggs or sunny side up eggs?

Yes and I love them.

Some heat has touched the egg.

Some heat>>>no heat

That's another place where the Disgust of the Few has taken sway over time.

It's to the point that the onus is now on the person to say, "I'll have the eggs benedict, with soft yokes. Nice and runny. Yes. Thank you."

If I don't say that, I get very untraditional medium-to-hard cooked yokes, and there's no point in eating eggs benedict under those conditions.

The Disgust of the Few takes over unevenly across the U.S. In the west and midwest, the Disgust of the Few has come to overtake tradition and dictate the standards of all over the past few decades. But on the east coast, if a cook poaches your egg yokes past the point of viscous ooze, the server will jump in without you say a word and apologize and take your plate away, and tell the cook to wake up and try again.

The Disgusted Few are louder than the content majority, which is why restaurants change their practices for them. But on the east coast, everyone is loud, so the change never came.

Let’s just say I don’t like the smells of egg juice and milk/dairy, if it touches, sticks, and drys on my face/fingers/arms.

I also don’t like tostadas because if the shell breaks I get all that beans and fixens all over my hands. Same with a chipotle burritos.

Eggs Benedict with medium cooked eggs are perfect

I used to be one of the disgusted few. Then I saw the light and the runny egg God placed his hand upon my brow and I will never turn away from him again.

Pretty much the only things I can't eat nowadays are oysters and anything aggressively flavored like black licorice. Oh and also I just can't get into eggplant except for this really nice baba ghanoush from a place down the road.

Eggs Benedict with anything other than gently poached eggs are “Eggs Benedict Arnold”

Medium in eggs is a lost art. That's why the Disgust of the Few became the Tyranny of the Majority: no one save the east coast could do it right and thus defaulted to rendering rubber eggs just to be safe. I grew up on soft-boiled eggs in an egg cup, and that determined the proper done-ness for all other forms. Medium poached eggs are ever a delicate disappointment. Even if cooked properly they must be drained well lest the bath water ruins the yolk. Eggs over medium is all I order anymore, and it only succeeds about half the time.

It’s true, 5-Points cooks their eggs medium, and they’re perfect
