God it’s vile. Especially scrambled egg. It looks like mouldy sick. Why do people eat it? And it smells like old, unwashed socks. Urgh. ---

Oh no, not nice chicken eggs. Soft and scrambled are my life support. I have a bad case of Strep throat and eggies are all I can take right now - they are my friends. Why the hate? ---

I go through phases with egg. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it. I’m in a love phase right now, just had scrambled egg with flaked salmon on ciabatta covered with hollandaise sauce. Yum! ---

Mmmm… Fried egg sunny side up with the middle runny so you can dip your toast in it. Divine. ---

Eggs are the most vile food imaginable to me. I’ve got nothing against the concept of eating one; I don’t mind it if it’s in a cake or something where I can’t smell, taste, or see it. Eating them straight up, ugh. Always felt that way since I was a kid. I’d have to be deep in the throes of starvation to eat one, at the point where my brain just kicked into base survival instinct mode. ---

I used to hate them growing up, but now quite enjoy them, especially in an omelette. ---

Hi **Hippos**. Good to see you back. 🙂 But I have to disagree with you about the eggs. 😉 ---

On my life wishlist is the burning desire to cook, and eat, an ostrich egg. I’d do it, too! Yes, I’d eat the whole thing, cholesterol and all! Scrambled, I should think. Or hard boiled. I wonder how long it would take? ---

Poached? Oh, that’s right. You can’t legally hunt them until Easter. ---

**Hippos** : I have just saved you from two eggs (scrambled). One in an egg, bacon, cheese, and Tabasco breakfast burrito; and the rest just plain because I didn’t want another burrito. ---

While it has been proven that eggs contain cholesterol, it has not yet proven that they raise the level of serum cholesterol in the human bloodstream. ---

Poached egg on an english muffin with aged cheddar, sausage, butter, onion, marmite, chipotle peppers and sundried tomatoes is my favorite breakfast. ---

MMMMMM… Eggs! I make perfect hard-boiled, scrambled, and fried eggs. Scrambled nice and fluffy with a little catsup… hard-boiled to perfection, dipped in salt. MMMMM… Eggs! Mayonnaise, though, will make me vomit through my nose. Joe ---

I like omelettes and scrambled eggs. Hard boiled are pretty good. Dislike most other styles. Absolutely hate poached. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-egg/522540.md?page=2)
