Post by: Mrs Bee on October 03, 2012, 09:30: OH has his every which way.

So what does it say about him.

I say he has always been a funny beggar. :D
Title: Re: How do you eat your eggs?
Post by: Spana on October 03, 2012, 09:43: We have had the same breakfast for years, with slight variation but always eggs.

OH has 2 fried eggs with 4 sheets of toast Monday to Saturday and scrambled on Sundays. I have a 2 egg omelet with baked beans. :happy: That keeps us going until lunch without snacking mid morning. :happy: Cereals just dont work the same ::)

Post by: ANHBUC on October 03, 2012, 10:18: I think if you have your eggs every which way it means that you are a well balanced person. Of course I would say that as that is how I like my eggs!!! ::) :lol:

You couldn't find a catagory for my OH. Funny beggar was the polite version. ::) :lol:

I don't actually like the taste of eggs at all. Wonder what that says about me. :wub:
Title: Re: How do you eat your eggs?
Post by: nerdle on October 03, 2012, 23:30: I don't eat eggs either!

I defo think the fried egg sandwich is the working man's treat and my last OH (omelette eater) kept the most (too) perfect allotment.

Post by: nerdle on October 04, 2012, 11:56: Oh yuk! I think that's a case of -' if its revolting it must be good for you' philosophy...

The Japanese make lovely eggy things - gently beaten with some sugar then fried a bit at a time in thin layers then folded in pan to build layers and cut up to look like eggy mille feuille and eaten with a bit of soy sauce. Tasty!

Title: Re: How do you eat your eggs?
Post by: joyfull on October 04, 2012, 13:29: my favourite way is poached (yes I am out going and love music with a beat - rock and roll, rockabilly and the Rolling Stones) so it sums me up perfectly, however I am also very disorganised which is why I have just boiled a dozen eggs to make my pickled eggs :D

Have you tried that before growster? I've eaten raw eggs in smoothies and cracked them into Carbonara but I've never shot a raw one. I guess it would be texture that is most off-putting, like oysters.
Title: Re: How do you eat your eggs?
Post by: Growster... on October 06, 2012, 07:22: I actually meant that I'd 'mentioned' it Damoot, not tried one...

In fact, just to bore you, there is a way to eat oysters which I tried, and they really ain't half bad at all...

You take just one bite before you swallow the thing whole, and believe me, they are pretty damn moreish after that!
Title: Re: How do you eat your eggs?
Post by: arugula on October 06, 2012, 14:01: Oysters are lovely, raw or cooked. :D

Eggs, usually scrambled (check) or omelette/frittata and I wouldn't call us particularly tidy.... :nowink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Title: Re: How do you eat your eggs?
Post by: Mrs Bee on October 08, 2012, 09:06: Oh I just adore oysters but have developed an allergy to them thanks to my mother :mad: :mad:

She bought me some back from Norfolk as a treat after her summer holiday :wacko:

In a cold box with ice blocks???
No on the parcel shelf of her car :wacko:

I have never been so ill. When I pointed this out to her and inquired as to the method of transport for the said oysters she said they were wrapped in plenty of newspaper on the parcel shelf:wacko: :unsure:

She could have killed me and has left me with an allergy to the most wonderful seafood going. :( >:(

And I like eating my eggs as mayonaise and quiches wonder what catagory that puts me in ??? :wacko:

WildW - speaking of social class - when they visit my customers opt for earl grey tea and but mega posh ones all prefer PG tips!

Speaking of posh food, scrambled eggs are very nice with spring onion and smoked salmon mixed in. Had it as a starter once and now its a treat spead onto toast. Spead a bit and bite - keeps the toast nice and crisp!

What does that make me? I love earl grey and lady grey tea, normal tea leaves a strong taste in my mouth which I don't like. I do like some blends of Yorkshire tea but not very strong and a dash of milk. :unsure:

Ooooo, Wighty are you posh too like my little sister. :lol: :D
We have coffee, stollen, or Dutch (banned word) ring.

Agree about the planning, leave it too late and it comes up and bites you on the derriere, and you end up more frazzled than overcooked roasties. :ohmy:

The festival we have late December ;)

Its a forum tradition that you are not allowed to mention the dreaded word on here before December or the mods get twitchy and eventually send you to the norty step if you keep transgressing ....... or even worse Auntie's cellar :ohmy: Hence references to special days, mid winter festivals and winterval so we can all plead innocence :lol:

I used to think that but it tastes more citrus really and is a refreshing tea. Lady Grey is similar and I think has even more citrus tones. I suppose it is an acquired taste and possibly for a more mature/older palate. :happy:

Mrs G and I are planning the next brew, and we really want to do something special for Xmonius, so we're looking at some of these Turbo yeasts for spirits, and then we can scare the living daylights out of the carol singers...
