Who likes eggs?

I cook eggs a few times each week. They're cheap and rich in nutrients. Today, I made some scrambled with red pepper and garlic powder. There's so many ways to make eggs that I thought I'd start a thread for egg discussion. :)

Probably would have been better off having a poll about how we like our eggs. Which of course is omelet.

Anyway, I eat them sometimes, I'll often only have them in an EggMcmuffin though. ;)

Where is the 'Never' option? Last time I ate an egg was in 1989.

Hey, eggs are serious business! I wouldn't call it spam, especially if we get some good recipes going. :)

They're all the damn same, how are scrambled eggs disgusting? Unless you don't eat anything but runny eggs.

"Rarely" fits.

They key to any survey is to have an even number of options, e.g. 4.

Or so I've heard.

I don't eat eggs at all. Unless they're cooked into something, like pancakes, which are eggsellent.

That's pretty popular with people I know.. toast is a great complement to eggs. I've had to cut back on the bread recently though.. :(


ALSO!

Who else likes tobasco/hot sauce on eggs? Besides me, that is? :)

Sour cream is also a great complement to eggs, especially spicy eggs!

Google images is helpful though.. here, from some guy's blog:

Sorry, Thumbless one, you probably posted while I was trying to fix your double post. I'll have to get an L-plate as my avatar.

Hey, I'm not all bad. Clearly I just can't get close to anyone or they cringe. If I stay 10 paces from all other people I seem to be a fun person to be around though. :)

Egg Salad
Deviled Eggs
Pesto Eggs (variation on deviled)
Omelets (esp. Denver omelets and asparagus omelets
Quiche
Frittata
soft boiled eggs on toast
Then you have the classics - bacon or ham and eggs over easy with toast to sop up the yummy yoke.

Yep, eggs are good.

I like eggs. Scrambled eggs are one of the few things I know how to cook that isn't canned or microwaveable. I like to make them for myself on days of major tests so that I have something better than poptarts. I made my mother scrambled eggs this morning for mother's day.:)

Although on Friday I made myself scrambled eggs since I had an AP exam that day, and I only found out after I had eaten a good amount that the expiration date was April 20.:(

Old-time bars used to offer a raw egg in beer in the morning, especially where German immigrants used to be. :p

I once deep fried some eggs for a girlfriend. It was delicious, and I named it after her: eggs julia.

Little did I know that some french prat had the same idea sixty years earlier.

Man, did I have egg on my face.

I cannot stand eggs. So I'd vote never if it was there, but this poll is heavily biased towards egg eaters. As is real life. Would it kill the world if most places had a breakfast menu without eggs. Some places will, if I'm lucky, have pancakes that are served without eggs, but the majority of places I have to ask for something else sans egg (and half the time have the waitress roll her eyes). Luckily there is a place in town that has an egg free item on their menu. Keywords being a and an. So if I want some variety in my life, I have to go to McDonalds because they, as sad as it is to say, have the second best breakfast menu in town.

I honestly place half the spices in my house into my scrambled eggs. This includes cinnamon, paprika, oregano, red pepper, basil, ginger, mustard seed, anise, allspice, garlic, etc etc etc...

I also cook them.. or overcook them so they are rather dry.

They always turn out brown, and I am not sure what spice they taste most like, but they taste great!

i doubt it, the fat is probably quite hard to digest. and your digestive system might need some rest when you have a hangover.
