techchick, If you like hollandaise, you should know this. ALWAYS serve hollandaise in a brightly-polished metal hubcap, because… _singing_ There’s no plate like chrome for the hollandaise… 😃 ---

I love eggs, scrambled, fried, cheese and onion omelettes, hard-boiled, devilled, egg salad sandwiches, etc. The only kind of egg I don’t like is an uncooked yolk one. I don’t like sunny-side up. if the yolk ain’t broke, it’s just a joke. ---

I’m using this thread to declare before all the following: The next time I go to Denny’s I’m getting a chicken-fried steak with lots of country gravy. Thank you. * * * You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you. ---

Alfred Hitchcock was afraid of eggs. I remember a quote where he says something to the effect of :“Blood is jolly and red, eggs are filthy and yellow. I’ll never touch one.” Dude had issues. * * * Habit rules the unreflecting herd. - Wordsworth ---

Sweet Basil, I always put a dash of sweet basil in my scrambled eggs. Don’t need the salt, pepper, or cheese. ---

Mmmmm… scrambled (hard, no runny part in my scrambled eggs), sunny side up or over medium or basted (sunny side up w/ a little water in the pan to cook the tops), hard-boiled, soft-boiled, egg salad, deviled eggs, omelettes, quiche, chilaquiles (scrambled with tortilla strips, cheese, tomatoes, onions & peppers) or just scrambled with onions, bell peppers & tomatoes. About the only way I don’t like eggs is poached. Could just about eat them three times a day! * * * …in a state so nonintuitive it can only be called weird… ---

I almost stopped eating eggs at one time when a friend described them as chicken menstruation. He wasn’t exactly right, of course, but it doesn’t paint a pretty picture. Quote from jane\_says > [@](#): > > 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. Not as icky, but how about cow milk? Humans are the only mammals to consume another mammals milk (whole heartedly as a species). And the only ones to keep consuming milk after infancy. To me this is strange especially considering how many mothers these days do NOT breast feed. How strange is this?: “I’m not going to breast feed my child (as nature intended, but I will give him/her milk from another beast that weighs 8 to 10 times as much as I do.” ## mmm… I shoulda started another thread. Never give a sword to a man who can’t dance. – a Celtic motto ---

Crackwise: I like milk. Milk is good and nutritious ad yummy. I was unable to breastfeed my first child because she spent a lot of time in ICU after she was born. She was “allergic” to cow’s milk (couldn’t tolerate it) and survived on soy until she was two. When her sister was born 13 months later, she had the same problem. They are now both milk drinkers. I have no problem with the concept of eating eggs - likewise with milk and meat. I have even on occasion, in my younger years, gone hunting and eaten the kill. I am rather disappointed that I don’t like eggs, as they are cheap, convenient, and easy to prepare. However, they have the texture of snot and smell like farts. These are two things I don’t wanna eat. So no eggs for me, thanks. ---
