Title: Egg
Post by: 4D on Tuesday, April 8, 2014, 15:50:41
Seeing as easter is approaching.....

I love eggs, the proper ones not the chocolate ones.
It's versatile,  tasty and good for you.
Omlettes,  poached, boiled, fried, scrambled.

If eating just egg, then for me it has to be poached.

Fancy having eggs for tea tonight,  can't decide how though  :hmmm:

At the risk of exposing myself to be middle class, I've recently started buying posh eggs. They were on special and I didn't expect much but they're loads better- Burford Browns are cracking (got the pun in, phew) eggs that are particularly good scrambled.

Love an omelette, which sometimes turns into scrambled egg :-)

One day this may get releases, then boiling an egg will be as simple as toasting bread.

I think you've blown that middle class expose by saying they were on special

Nearly there - just a bit of black pudding in you to finish the job.

Nothing quite like a cloaca-fresh double yolker, like I had this morning, poached (barely... runny yolks are the sign of kings) on beans on toast.

I want another one now.

Fertilised egg is a delicacy over here.  Do you have that, Flashheart?

I'll try most things, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

You mean a fully formed chick in an egg?

I don't remember seeing it in Thailand although I would be surprised if it isn't eaten in the North.

I once saw somebody eating one in Laos. They sat their picking bits off and ate the lot: legs, beak, guts. It was not pleasant viewing.

Yeah, I've had it bought for me a couple of times, though haven't even been tempted to look at it to be honest. 

Cambodians will eat fucking anything, which is clearly a regional thing in some respects, but I can't help feeling the years of not having enough to eat meant they experimented further.

Rural Thais will eat anything as well.

Dancing shrimp salad is another bizarre one. It is a spicy shrimp salad and the shrimp are still alive.

Years ago when pubs didn't sell food as such, I used to like a pickled egg in a packet of cheese and onion crisps.

That, mixed with the evening's alcohol, made for an interesting morning dump

You should at least have the decency to kill stuff before you eat it, even if it is only seconds beforehand.

It's like those places in Japan where you catch your fish from a big tank in the centre of the restaurant, then they gut it and slice it into a beautiful fan for you to eat as sashimi... whilst it's still alive. Comes to your table still trying to escape. I like my food fresh, but that's a bit much.

Or even in a bag of chips. Most good chippies still sell them.

I remember eating pizza in France and egg was one of the toppings. I've never seen that in any other country.

Egg on pizza is quite common in many parts of the USA and Italy.

Why have you stopped....embourgeoisement?  Still nowt wrong with a picked egg in a bag of crisps or pork scratchings.  Eggs generally are smelly fart material....hydrogen sulphide style.

Minced beef on pizza is a staple Friday night food in Norway and is amazing. Never seen it anywhere else.

Bottelinos do a pizza with an egg cooked on the topping. It's my meal of choice when I go there.

Or better, one cracked over the top as it finishes cooking. Looks a bit like a fried egg, tastes over 9,000 times more awesome.

My favourite pizza place here does a pizza bolognese.  Stick a load of tabasco sauce on and I'm in heaven.

Used to have a lovely pizza in Luxembourg which has a fried egg on it. Relatively common there.

Except in Bottelinos the pizza named Fiorentina is confusingly not as you'd expect (it's ham and mushroom)!

I had a curry in Wellington last time is was there, it was basically scotch eggs in a madras sauce, kashmiri dish, I believe it was called a nargasi Koftas, it was brilliant, never seen it here though.
