Title: Eggs!
Post by: SourdoughStomper on May 16, 2015, 04:48:22 PM
Stomper hasn't eaten eggs for a couple years. I gave them up in an elimination diet for health reasons and found out I cannot reintroduce them yet. I might try again someday, but for now, I'll have to live vicariously through you.

Vegetarians and vegans, apologies in advance. Maybe chocolate eggs are okay for you to eat? Especially chocolate Easter eggs? :drool: (Anyway, I'll try to do another food poll that is more veg-friendly later on. I remember the fun we had with the French fry poll from a few months ago.)

One of my favorite things to do with eggs, before I gave up wheat, was to make grilled cheese sandwiches that had scrambled eggs and a slice of ham. I also liked making other kinds of breakfast sandwiches.

In the period of time where I didn't eat wheat but still ate eggs, I liked making pizza omelets. It was the fastest way I could whip up something pizza-esque for myself. I also loved the classic scrambled eggs especially if bacon or sausage was involved. :bacon: And salsa. Definitely salsa. Mr. Stomper would always "ruin" his eggs with ketchup. :P

If you have a culturally unique way to enjoy eggs, I'd love to hear about that too. I added huevos rancheros because you'd see that on the menu in an AZ restaurant. Pretty tasty. :drool:

Oh no...no no no.  I do not do eggs of any shape or form.  They make me nauseous.  *sigh*  hubby says I'm missing out, but I'm perfectly fine being the odd duck out thank you. ;)

I was anti-egg for a long time. They grossed me out. I'm not sure when that changed but I came around to them. Then when I decided to go strict vegetarian, I went about it in the wrong way and ended up in trouble, I started eating eggs and fish again. So now I'm an ovo-pescetarian  ^^;

Scrambled is how I make them usually, but I like them all kinds of ways. I really like to get fresh eggs from local farmers when I can. I miss when I could just get some from the neighbor, but I moved and we can't have them here. I would like to keep my own hens someday :)

Vegetarian here, but I've got my own flock of laying hens and LOVE LOVE LOVE eggs!  They're such a phenomenal protein source, especially for someone that doesn't get protein from meat sources.  If it weren't for their relatively high selenium content, I could probably live off eggs for a quite some time :)

Don't eat eggs. Vegetarian (not quite vegan -- I do consume some dairy). But chocolate eggs are okay, if not the healthiest thing in the world!

Your mention of salsa makes me want to go make a quesadilla (however you spell that!) now!

Edit: In my early vegetarian days I made omelets quite frequently, though. :)

I've grown to like eggs more and more as I've gotten older.  I most commonly eat scrambled eggs or fried eggs with a bit of cheese melted on top (on a sandwich or paired with breakfast meats or whatever else I have on hand).  I do enjoy omelets in the summer when I have plenty of fresh veggies to add.

I'm a big fan of adding hard boiled eggs in salads.   :)

I have a couple laying hens, but I don't really eat a lot of eggs. I sell most of what they lay. However, when I do eat eggs, it is usually for breakfast in the form of an omelette, scrambled, soft boiled, etc. Once in a rare while I will devil or salad them.

Hard boiled eggs are good too, especially in salads.  My only problem with eggs is... well...  :toot:

My favourite is fried (specifically over-hard), but also enjoy omlets, scrambled, hard-boiled, egg salad, and deviled. Of course chocolate/candy is good too :)

My dad gives me eggs all the time! I'm always looking for creative ways to eat them.

My favorite has always been over easy-- either with toast or on rice. (Or bibimbap, haha). If I'm not eating bread/rice--- I'll mix the egg whites with shredded zucchini and make a little pancake. Then I'll add the egg yolk on top.

I also love adding eggs in things like ramen or budae jjigae (sp?!?). An egg can make a good dish great.

I only eat omelets with interesting ingredients. My last two were curried cauliflower and kimchi+chili oil.

One of my favorite dim sum items is steamed custard egg bun. My hubby likes the egg tarts I do too, just not as much as the buns!

Ooooh man, has anyone tried 1000 year egg *_* one day I might, but I'm scared of it!

In a fan of eggnog and when eggs are used as an ingredient in a recipe (crêpes, cookies, etc.) but when they are they main ingredient I just can't stand them. They've always come across as too rubbery for me.
Title: Re: Eggs!
Post by: SnorkMaiden on May 16, 2015, 10:58:15 PM
I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian, so I do eat eggs. Lately, I've taken to always having eggs in the house, because our oven's broken and there are many fast, tasty dishes you can make with eggs that do not need an oven. As dinner or just a snack, I often make fried eggs or omelette (preferrably with cheese and / or tomatoes). My friend makes very tasty fried-egg sandwiches with capers. I also enjoy eating boiled eggs for breakfast. Oh, and chocolate eggs are lovely, too, of course, especially filled with caramel.
Title: Re: Eggs!
Post by: Beldarna on May 16, 2015, 11:13:47 PM
I eat eggs in almost every way, shape and form, except raw. Soft boiled eggs for breakfast, hard boiled eggs after work out, omelett for dinner, fried with cheese on top on a hamburger. Scrambled whenever I eat breakfast on a hotel. My favorites are the chockade ones though.
Title: Re: Eggs!

I dislike fried eggs - I don't like the way the white goes crispy around the edges.

Also, heads-up, certain vegetarians eat eggs! They are called ovo-vegetarians. Im actually lacto-veg meaning the only animal product I eat is dairy. Even if I wasnt allergic to eggs I wouldnt eat them. I like to hatch eggs instead! =]  (fertilized chicken eggs, reptile eggs, etc.) I think dinosaur eggs are cute <3

Hard boiled eggs on a picnic! They're really nice when they're cold and nestled among a raucously leafy salad. :D Also chocolate eggs are always a win for me.
Title: Re: Eggs!
Post by: Griffin on May 17, 2015, 01:30:29 AM
Eggs? Yes please! Soft-boiled, hard-boiled, fried, scrambled, omelette... My new favourite is tamagoyaki (http://justhungry.com/tamagoyaki), there is just something special about the combination of egg, soy sauce and a hint of sweetness from the sugar. Yum! (Tamagoyaki, cucumber, and carrot make my favourite maki sushi filling, too. :satisfied:)

Pretty much any egg based food will probably go down well with me. If making something that involves eggs, sometimes I put in extra egg.

I am a huge fan of eggs too. I am doing a lot of elimination experimenting to find sensitivities and I am NOT going to be a happy camper on egg week. I feel like I can give up anything except eggs, fruit and salsa.

How do I like my eggs cooked? Yes. All of them!! My fave lately is an omlete cooked with scallions, spinach, parmesan, and shrimp, then topped with avocado slices. YUMMY!

I only eat eggs scrambled. I really like scrambled eggs, actually!

I like custard, too, though? Didn't really know that was an egg product. Now I'm craving this custard pie that I always used to have when I was younger. T.T

I like to make a soft boiled or poached egg and put it on top of steamed asparagus. The runny yoke is kinda like a sauce. I also used to make spaghetti carbonara a lot, where you mix an egg into a cheese and hot water mix to form a sauce. Also, I love scrambled eggs with cheese, they are the best. I also like deviled eggs for parties since they are easy to make. I sometimes make a German egg noodle called spaetzle which is my absolute favorite food in the world. And, of course, quiches, frittatas, boiled eggs on a salad, poached on a piece of toast, on top of a rice bowl, inside a breakfast burrito... the only way I don't like eggs is pretty much in egg salad. Blegh! It grosses me out for some reason.

I really like eggs!
Especially when they are baked with bacon and seasoned with pepper.
I am also a fan of home made egg salad, my boyfriend's mother always makes the best one with eggs from their own hens.
In general, I like them in most varieties.

That's one of my favorite things about fried eggs! When I get them fried, I like them over medium. When I get them scrambled, I like them either with ketchup or scrambled in bacon grease. Yum!

Yes! Eggs are the best. Last year for the County Fair I entered my sugar candy eggs in the fair, and guess what? Fist in class, yay! I prefer mine poached or basted, and my boyfriend's Ma makes the best deviled eggs from her chickens in the backyard. Eggnog, (the rum-tastic kind) is one of my favorite holiday treats!

Sorry you can't eat eggs, Stomper. I love eggs (even though I have high cholesterol).  My doctor says 7 a week is not excessive and I probably eat around 6-7.  I love them soft boiled for lunches in the weekend, and I also love them in sandwiches :P

PS:  you forgot to include EASTER eggs in the poll.  Those would be my personal fav, lol :cheer:

I'm a lacto-ovo-pescetarian too but I can't stand eating eggs cooked as they are. They have to be incorporated in something. The closest I get is eggy bread. It's very much a textural thing for me: I just can't stand any form of them... except chocolate :)

Eggs are a staple in our household and they certainly get a bad rap. We love them. My kids will ask for breakfast for dinner (aka eggs) a lot. They love when I make them 'Texas Star Toast' which is just an egg in a basket, but I cut a star instead of a hole :)

My egg of choice would be 'dippy' or over easy. I like to dip my rye toast in the yolk. Yum!

Oh, I can't believe I forgot to mention a delicacy native to my country! EGG BUTTER. (Luckily I also ticked 'other' :D ) It's basically just boiled eggs chopped finely, mixed with butter and seasoned with a pinch of salt. I occasionally replace some of the butter with cottage cheese to make it a bit lighter. Egg butter is traditionally served with Karelian pasties or different types of flatbread such as lepuska, made with mashed potatoes and barley flour.

I'm... well, I'm a pescetarian, but before I added seafood to compromise with my husband, I knew I could never give up eggs and dairy. :P There are great substitutes nowadays for both, but... meh. Eggs. :D

I make a mean omelette, and I love quiche. Scrambled is my default preparation method though, or made into a patty and incorporated into a sandwich. <3 Oh, and deviled eggs. Those are godly. And egg salad. You know what? I just love eggs.

But if my egg is runny... it shall go uneaten. Eeewwwww.
