How do you like your eggs?

[Krill]

• Scrambled: with mustard and a bit of cheese, maybe a bit of pepper if I don't have mustard available.
• Poached: each egg on a piece of lightly toasted thick cut white bread, with salt.
• Fried: either by itself or occassionally with tomato or brown sauce, either on oatcakes (staffordshire oatcakes) or toast as above.
• Boiled: soft boiled with salt and soldiers
• Omelette: with bacon, mustard, cheese, crutons and then with brown sauce.

Eggs are foodstuffs of the gods Eat them with bacon, hash browns, beans, steak, potatoes, sausauges...

Over easy. With proper care, there is no crust.

I've eaten one before. They're good.

Scrambled with cheddar; omelet with cheddar and spinach (boiled or steamed, with balsamic vinegar added!); quiche with sour cream, cheddar, cream cheese, and (nothing OR spinach OR ham/sausage/etc. OR both spinach + meat); deviled (hard-boiled and then the yolk mixed with a bit of mayo, mustard powder, and a few other spices and bacon chips, then added back into the egg); over-easy (crust? WTF are you doing, burning them?) ...

Also, correct thread title is "How do you like them eggs".

I also hoped for a copycat a la "How do you like your legs" but since LS has left there are rarely nice spamorgies

Glad I'm not alone; try some Worcestershire sauce in that mix next time, you won't regret it.

Has the cartilage gotten pretty stiff by that time, or is the whole thing pretty mushy?

Too many yucky posts in this thread...

However, I would have to agree with the OP, especially regarding boiled eggs. I love the hard whites, but soft yokes.

I usually eat my eggs with a special homemade ketchup that I make, it's full of delicious seasonings. In fact, I just made a new batch yesterday and my whole house smelled of cloves.

2. Put tomatoes in blender

3. ...

4. PROFIT!

I've spent my childhood eating fried eggs with the crust and my mom never used butter for frying.

Try a non-stick pan, they reduce browning to such an extant that even deliberately browning something in them is next to impossible.

Well, I don't follow an exact recipe. My Great-Grandmother used to make it, so I just put in the right amount of spices until it tastes like hers. However, I will give you an idea of what I put in it:
Tomato Juice (3 big cans makes about 1 gallon or 8 pint sized jars)
Apple Cider Vinegar (about a cup)
2 cups of sugar
1 whole, peeled onion
A couple of tablespoons each of:
Cinnamon, Cloves, Allspice, Nutmeg, Ground Mustard, Ginger, Salt...and I think that's it...

Boil it all together for about 3 or so hours with the lid on. I usually end up putting in more spices about halfway through. Put into canning jars, screwing the lid on tightly. The jars will self-seal within a few hours. The ketchup will last for quite awhile once it's sealed. Refrigerate after opening.

I'm not sure if you will like it. It's so different from anything else that people sometimes find it to be an acquired taste. I grew up with it, so I love it. As mentioned earlier, it's especially good with eggs, but also is good with many other things.
