[Closed] Eggs

Eggs. I want eggs.

RDA for eggs in France is one .....

cos thats an oeuf

goose, duck, hen, quail or some other oddity - it's not just the number of eggs it's the type 😀

its one of these things that keeps changing and I don't know now what it is.

check the NHS site

think of the protein! eggs are great, I love them in any form (scrambled is my least fave though). I wouldn't worry about eating too many!

Ostrich - One per week. In an ommelette. Nomnomnomnom

You poached this idea from another thread, didn't you?

They create havoc bunging my bowels up. As do Baked beans.

Love both but have had to curb my intake.

That's a beautiful pair. 😉

I appear to have been edited out... 😳

Currently eating... eggs.

This thread has absolutely nothing to do with jaimie.

When I'm at work I take two boiled eggs in. Cracking snack after a 12 mile commute. Scrambled with red pepper, cheese, ham and spring onion normally when I am at home.

Suppose I get through two dozen every 3 weeks.

Why would it?

Eggs is one of the few things you can't have enough of, along with beer, oxygen, marmite and goats cheese! Fact 😀

I eat 3 poached most days. I hope they're not bad for me! They're quick, easy and taste lovely 🙂

I was reading the other day apperently the only bad thing is the yoke contains 5 grams of fat so 3 eggs is 15 grams . Remove the yoke and you have a very low fat meal/ snack . If not on a low fat diet ... Enjoy !

Remove the yoke and you have a very low fat meal/ snack

And you've taken out the best bit!

Thats not to say you cannot have 1 yoke to 3 whites 🙂

Nowt wrong with a good yoke.

No, they are not bad for you - very good for you in fact. Fill your boots/stomach. IIRC there used to be concern over the cholesterol but they figured out it's not the bad kind.

plus they're better for you now they've stopped feeding the hens on animal crap

I used to eat 2 hardboiled eggs and a double espresso for breakie every morning for about 4 years.
Perfect timing, cook them whilst in the bathroom and come down to perfect eggs.
It was the best workday breakie "like ever".

What Molgrips said. Poached eggs are the bestest.

I've been eating a dozen a week since I was 18 (now 32) and I'm still alive. I never believed the scares about them. Beats shredded wheat in the morning!

Full of energy and protein, all good stuff.

Even fried isn't too bad as the egg doesn't absorb the oil, so if you drain it before eating it's ok.

mmm love eggs but don't love the butt plug effect, so I don't have any more than a few a week.

I have the opposite problem. Loads of eggs for me equal catastrophic squits, toots so toxic they peel paint off radiators and make your hair fall out.

I do like scrambled eggs though.

Just finished off an Egg & Mayo baguette...complete with lots of salt.

GF fed smoked haddock to her chickens. Much as I love both eggs and smoked haddock, it's not something I would recommend

I keep hens, so egg consumption is high in my household. I seem to still be alive.

And they taste delicious.

The only potential health threat (AFAIK) is from avidin in the egg white, but as this is inactivated by cooking it only really applies to the gym bunnies who drink those raw egg shakes.
And now there's far more use of milk protein based products I don't think this is that big an issue........

So - I've got a question. We eat various different birds eggs, they are all fairly similar. Are reptile eggs the same? Could you make a crocodile omlette, and woudl it be disgusting? I assume they would work in the same way in a culinary sense. Or how about a turtle quiche?

1 ostrich egg is the eggquivalent of 24 hens eggs and takes 50 minutes to softboil.

I know this as boss was buying one from Selfridges the other day (for an Egg Fondue) and bumped into Kate Humble who found the whole thing very funny. (My boss lives in a very different world to me)

Am pretty sure you can eat reptile eggs, but I couldn't find a turtle quiche on the google. Would you use the meat for filling as well? Cos then shell could be the plate, thus using the whole turtle.

Here's an Ostrich Scotch Egg instead.

How do you like your eggs in the morning? I mean what's the bestest way to make egg?

So one of those Egg Council creeps got to you too?

How do you like your eggs in the morning?

I like mine poached, I time them by the toaster. Eggs go in the water, toast goes down. When toast is down I put eggs on them, works for me! Makes really runny yokes 🙂

Eggs are fine, it is now established that eating fat does not make you fat, carbs make you fat. How do you fatten a chicken? Feed it corn.

I grew up on shop bought eggs I.e illuminous(sp??) yellow kinda coloured yolk. My inlaws have chickens and gave me some. Boiled them at home and was quite disgusted that fresh eggs could be gone off - had cracked it open and the yolk was a deep orange kind of colour and I'd never seen them like that before. My bf then called me a townie for the next few months. Stil can't believe the difference. Love eggs, they are the best 😀

I'd like to scramble kate humbles eggs.

..and no-one has mentioned pickled, I love a pickled egg.
