    It entirely depends on freshness and how the egg is cooked.

    I like eggs, but old or even slightly burnt eggs get pretty gross.

    Yes. Eggs are awesome. I throw a fried egg on top of about half my meals, and scrambled or poached egg on toast is great. Eggs Benedict may be my favourite dish ever.

      Eggs Benedict is well awesome.

      My fave is a variation on that… Eggs California. Avocado, tomato on English muffins with poached eggs and hollandaise.

      whooooo…

      Im not sure if it’s because I’m from Europe and it being not so popular here or because I’m a cretin but I don’t get poached eggs. Why would you take extra steps to prevent the egg from dissolving in the water when you can simply cook it inside it’s shell?

        Soft-boiled eggs are just a bit too firmly ‘egg shaped’ to make a good benedict.

        Poached eggs are flatter and the white is softer.

        Also, to easily prevent the egg white from coming apart when you drop the egg in, just add a dash of vinegar to the boiling water. It causes the white to stick together.

    • Eggs Benedict is the best! When I try a new breakfast place it’s the dish I get in order to judge the new spot.

      I actually have a silly breakfast blog. I’m trying to have breakfast in all 351 towns & cities in my state. I’m at 137. However, there are plenty of small towns that do not have a breakfast place. So, I won’t reach 351.

    As someone’s who’s tasted an egg I can only assume that were part of some elaborate worldwide practical joke to get us to eat them, because I think they smell and taste disgusting.

    Fucking love it. Fresh-cooked eggs are great, especially egg yolk.

    However, if you genuinely don’t like em, don’t let anyone force you to eat them just because most people like them! Throw the eggs in their face! Demand a better thing that isn’t an egg! Build a house of pain made of egg-loving freaks! Stand on it, laughing maniacally, flamethrower trigger permanently on!

    …or hopefully people will accept it when you politely refuse eggs. That would also be nice.

    On its own it doesn’t really have a distinct taste or smell to me. I rarely cook eggs without adding seasoning or flavor. At the minimum I cook it in butter, so that already adds great taste and smell to it.

    I have chickens, and whether or not I like the taste and smell of eggs is wildly dependent upon the eggs and preparation.

    I worked at a chicken hatchery in high school and was traumatized by what we called “poppers”, which are eggs that rot inside with the shell fully intact, wherein any contact with the shell causes it to explode. It took me over a decade to eat eggs again. And I still won’t eat anything like quiche, omelets, or even just plain scrambled eggs. I find them gross for whatever reason.

    But a sunny side up or an egg salad or something? French toast? Egg bread? Breakfast bagel bombs? Sure.
