Re: Eggs - how do you like ´em?
Well there; I see I´m going to have to make cheese soufflé this week.!
Yesterday I made a Chettinad Egg Curry, from Camellia Panjabi´s "50 Great Curries". It was a little elaborate but since I had all the ingredients to hand, well worthwhile.

I really like her recipe for prawn patia.
I often use salmon instead of prawns.

Re: Eggs - how do you like ´em?
I love eggs In most savoury forms and have been advised to eat them at least 5 days a week by my nutritionist.
Favourites are boiled with soldiers, poached or scrambled on toasted sourdough (sometimes with a scraping of Marmite too), scrambled with smoked salmon, whisked into chicken stock with grated Parmesan as a sort of stracciatella soup) with or without fine broken up noodles. I also love cheese soufflé and will be making one soon! Perhaps also a steak tartare although I rarely eat red meat nowadays.

Re: Eggs - how do you like ´em?
Well I´m dragging this one up again because I just remembered something utterly ghastly.
My grandad was from Liverpool. Came down to Kent in about 1932-33.
He used to break a whole egg into a glass, with a bit of malt vinegar on top, ZAP! Down the hatch. That was breakfast.
I´ve never heard of that anywhere else.

Don’t they recommend downing a whole raw egg with some Tabasco as a hangover cure ? I suppose the vileness of it would distract from how bad you’re feeling

Re: Eggs - how do you like ´em?
It would certainly kill or cure the hangover! The egg flip we made in cookery at school really put me off raw egg but I know that many people do /did down them whole. I think I would prefer to beat the egg first.
Re: Eggs - how do you like ´em?
my father used, often, to have a raw egg in milk.
when he was on a road race (cycling), shortly after first going out with her, my mother went to watch him along with my grandfather. he stopped to ask them if they had any food and the only thing they had was a dozen eggs - which he downed raw and set off again. my mother said she felt sick just watching him eat them.
i used to make a lovely mandarin gateaux that had a buttercream filling that used raw eggs. it was gorgeous - but the recipe is lost to me. i do keep searching the web to see if it turns up sometime.

I'm sure we used to have an egg flip with milk, vanilla essence and sugar? Sort of like a raw custard I guess?

Re: Eggs - how do you like ´em?
Yes, the egg flip we did at school was made like that. I have no objection to uncooked egg as long as it is heavily disguised - and that wasn't disguised quite enough .

Re: Eggs - how do you like ´em?
I have no objection to raw egg in principle
But I don’t like egg nog or flip, I don’t drink milk and the texture is unpleasant
There are versions made with evaporated milk. Yuk.

Re: Eggs - how do you like ´em?
We stayed in a glorious boutique B&B on the Yorkshire coast last weekend.
One of the breakfast options was Yorkshire Scramble.
Essentially at least 3 perfectly scrambled eggs with Wensleydale cheese stirred through and served with good, thick wholemeal toast.
Lunch was not required.

Re: Eggs - how do you like ´em?
Yes, I think that would fill you up for the day WWordsworth!
My favourite ways?
Boiled eggs with soldiers made with rye, wheat and seeds toasted bread.
Scrambled eggs with added butter when cooked, on toast.
Poached egg on top of spinach with melted cheese on top.
KK that does indeed sound ghastly! My friend's parents used to whisk raw eggs with sherry for their racing greyhounds!

As a teenager I used to have a raw egg whisked with orange juice for my lunch.

That's an 'interesting' mixture! It sounds as if it should curdle but probably doesn't.

Was that for a bet as to whether you'd be able to keep it down?
