> [@needscoffee](#): > > OMG (and I have never used that abbreviation before, if that tells you anything), you are in for a treat. My local diner serves a version with homemade corned beef (sauteed/browned) with poached egg and a cheese sauce, which is heaven. They also have a smoked salmon version, which I’ve never been able to order because I can’t go without regular or corned beef Benedict. My mouth is now watering. Yum! Eggs Benedict is something I really miss. Back in New Zealand, we had a nearby cafe that did fantastic eggs benedict, with bacon, salmon or just spinach under the egg and hollandaise. There’s nowhere in my town that does anything approaching that. ☹ ---

Fry up some hickory-smoked bacon, use some of the drippings for homefries with onions and peppers, then use some fat for two eggs over easy. Toast and coffee and your day is made. ---

Toast and coffee and your day is made. Chop the bacon and mix it into the potatoes and onions (and peppers – I rarely have any on-hand). Crack two eggs over the top and cover. When the whites are set and the yolks are still liquid, serve with Tabasco. ---

I LOVE chicken eggs. LOVE them! Prepared any possible way. Egg sandwiches! Also, eggs + flour + sugar is one of the greatest alchemical combinations known to humans. EGGS! I’m picking up some farm-fresh eggs tomorrow. Can’t wait. ---

> [@GameHat](#): > > That’s … horrifying. > > I love it. > > I’ve got a chill up my spine and decentralized feeling of overall disgust. God damn, that’s a great video. Thanks for sharing. The film is _Pink Flamingoes_, by John Waters. His early films do tend to have an effect on people. More egg-centricity from the film: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/og_85XJTOac/hqdefault.jpg "EGGS EGGS EGGS!") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og_85XJTOac) [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/133rml22vFw/hqdefault.jpg "Pink Flamingos: Eggstra Miss Edie") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=133rml22vFw) A warning though: Do not delve too deeply into this film. One of the related videos on YouTube is the last scene in the film. I will not link it. It is disgusting, and potentially vomit-inducing. No, really. It does not have anything to do with eggs.
