Eggs are number one on the list of things that I absolutely under any circumstances will never ever ever eat, ever, and are so indescribably icky that I can’t imagine anyone considering them food. Jell-O and bologna are a tie for a distant second. But if eggs are in something like a cake, all mixed up, so that I can’t smell, see, feel or taste them, that’s okay. I’ll eat those. Which makes me something of a hypocrite. ---

…from my **head** down to my legs! I heard this commercial a few years ago on the radio while toodling cross country. It describes my wife perfectly, she is an egg sandwich addict (not egg salad, were talking scrambled eggs between bread). We still sing this song at each other from time totime while deciding what to cook for breakfast. ---

Well I don’t, but 2 of my favorite people do, so I can try… (that used to be my hated food as a youngster, scrambled eggs). I’ve never had em any other way, besides hard-boiled. ---

After seeing Rocky as an impressionable youngster, I tried swallowing them raw. I can report that they’re every bit as slimy and gag-inducing that way as you’d think they are. I managed to get them down (three only) and keep them down, but just once. This was before I knew about salmonella. It was also before I knew that you absorb far more protein from a cooked egg than a raw one. But, goshdarnit, Stallone did it that way, and he had bigger arms than I did. (although I saw Rocky again about a month ago and Sly doesn’t look nearly as pumped and cut as I remember him being. Must’ve been before steroids). ---
