I cannot stand to eat eggs. Everything about them disgusts me. The taste, the texture, the smell, eeugh! I hate the smell, especially, that slight tinge of sulfur makes me want to gag. I used to be able to tolerate the whites, but I never ate the yolks. Now, I can’t even eat the whites. The whole process of egg agriculture is nasty, too. Ever gathered eggs in a chicken coop? They’re always covered in chickenshit and need to be washed. Unsanitary. Bleah. And don’t even get me started on _commercial_ egg cultivation. Lots of people might like eggs, but as far as I’m concerned, the chickens can just keep them. We’ve had threads dissing onions and milk, both foodstuffs that rank very high on my list of favorites, now let’s hear from the egg-haters out there. * * * “That’s entertainment!” —Vlad the Impaler ---

I’m on the fence over the egg issue. I like scrambled eggs, as long as they are on the dry side. The thought of eating a soft, runny style of egg makes me want to barf. I do like hard boiled eggs, but only the yolks. The whites are too slimey in texture for me. Bleah. * * * Weave a circle round him thrice, And close your eyes with holy dread, For he on honey-dew hath fed, And drunk the milk of Paradise.–Coleridge ---

Amen, If I wanted to eat rubber I’d suck on a tire. Eggs do nothing for me. I can’t stand seeing people breaking their yolks and poking toast into it. SHUDDER. Keith * * * You want brilliance BEFORE I’ve had my coffee!!! ---

I like to take a VERY undercooked boiled egg and hold it over my mouth and crack it open to let all the runny whites and yolk plop into my mouth. I then swish the lukwarm snot-like slime around in my mouth before letting it drain down the back of my throut. Mmmmmmm yummy! ---

I never cared for eggs by themselves; generically, I’ve never been a breakfast person. But there’s something about the texture and taste of cooked eggs that makes me gag. Side note: When I was training hard in high school, I’d make a shake in the morning consisting of milk, Quik, and a few raw eggs. I never tasted them, so it was OK; I just needed the protein. ---

\*neuro-trash grrrl: I cannot stand to eat eggs. Everything about them disgusts me. \* Are you my wife? She has the same reaction. 🙂 _metroshane: can you be alergic to them?_ Yes, you can. My wife was, but isn’t any longer. But stemming from a bad reaction created her aversion as an adult. She doesn’t mind them baked _into_ things. But if egg is visible in something, she sends it back. ---
