Eggs




Scrambled? Fried? Sunny side up? Boiled? Poached? Omelette? Scotch egg?

Oh how I despise eggs! I have never eaten them & never will eat them. The smell gets to me first, then the texture, then the sight of them looking all kind of rubbery like especially fried & boiled ones. Ewww.

My family loves them though & throughout the years had tried to encourage me to at least taste them…let’s just say they never tried again! I remember my grandparents loving boiled eggs with slices of toast or fried eggs on slices of ham with chips. My mum liked hers boiled or poached & my sister would eat them anyway but especially liked omelettes.

It wasn’t until I started waitressing that they really got to me. People would request omelette upon omelette or fried egg with ham upon fried egg with ham. All I saw were eggs, eggs, eggs. They taunted me as I delivered someone’s dinner that had a wobbly fried egg on top where I’d place it down with a smile on face cursing at the egg inside my mind. Then I realised every time I got home that the eggs had followed me. Its scent had attached itself to me & all I could smell was egg & chips! So not nice.



So eggs are my enemies & I will continue to avoid those wobbling fried ones that ooze out across the plate when you pierce the yolk…*shivers*…

    I almost blogged Eggs for my E, but changed it. It will be up later.
    And I can only eat scrambled eggs. I have an aversion to eggs of any other type. And I especially can't stand it if they don't cook them all the way through. I don't like to make a scrambled egg for myself, but will eat the omelet cooked by my husband. But it has to be done, done, done or I gag, gag, gag.

      Ha why do eggs make us all feel strange or funny when looking or tasting them? I'm glad I'm not the only one who will gag, gag, gag on them :o)

    I think I can understand your grief with eggs! I don't like to see them ooze either. It makes me think of liquid baby chick...ewwww.

    Great post!

    I love eggs in any way, shape or form--for any meal of the day.

    However, I have the same visceral reaction to blood-rare beef as you do to eggs. I worked as a meat wrapper in a grocery store when I was younger and had to quit after the first day. It was simply too horrific! :-o

      Eww I hate rare beef too...mine has to be cooked very well done. I could never imagine doing that I'd quit after the first 5 mins :o) thanks for coming by & commenting.

    I love eggs, but can definitely understand people not liking ones with runny yolks :)

    I only started eating them in my twenties, and they have to be cooked really really well and on a sandwich with cheese and bacon. :-) Greetings from A to Z.

    A hoot! I almost did my E post on eggs as I love them so much! I can see how they could gross one out - kind of like mayo does for me. (I wrote about it in D for disgusting things!) Nice to be on the A to Z with you!

    Too funny! My family eats eggs, but my husband is grossed out when I dunk my toast in the runny yolk. He also hates the smell of hard boiled eggs.

    Isn't it funny the things that turn our stomachs? I can't handle ketchup. Love tomatoes, love sauce. It makes no sense, does it?

      I'm so pleased I'm not the only who doesn't like eggs woo hoo!

      I like ketchup but do not like tomatoes...I think I'm just too odd lol.

      Maybe that's why I don't like eggs. I've never really discovered how I came to hate them. Thanks for coming by & leaving a comment :o)

    I like eggs but don't eat them very often. If I do, I actually like the yellow part runny but if I see any white runniness (I know that isn't a word but let's just go with it), I get turned off immediately and won't eat them. Bleck!

    I eat eggs a few times a month, but they have to be done.

Dancing During my time at school (which feels like a long time ago now) I took dance as a subject. I loved it & still love it. But I no longer do it. There were always more girls than boys in the class & in fact at one point we only had 1 boy amongst about 15+ of us girls. It was unfair on him, he however loved it & actually was a good dancer. We would start by doing our stretches then we’d move on to the set pieces we either had to learn & perform in front of the others or we would study techniques of other dancers & then have to choreograph our own piece of dance. It was good fun, interesting & in the end important for our grading & exams. I continued to dance at various times…mainly when I’d had a few drinks…but I have never joined a dance class. I know I would actually feel shy dancing in front of others even after doing it for 3-4 years. I get stage fright badly & this effects the things I would love to do. Dancing being ...

Beans. There are many different types of beans & in many different varieties: French bean/Green bean/Black bean/Baked bean/Soya bean etc. The soya bean is the main bean in my daily diet. I found out last year that normal dairy milk was bad for me. I had been drinking it for years but when I began to get pains & cramps in my stomach which lasted a couple of months I knew something was wrong & went to see my doctor. After keeping a food diary a food/lifestyle diary I had two answers 1. I had developed IBS 2. Milk had become my enemy. I only had milk in cups of tea & on cereal but it was really affecting me. So I changed my habits & turned to Soya Milk. At first I was dubious of it as it does taste completely different to normal milk & it looks like cream but for me it’s been a godsend as I can now have my cups of tea & my cereal without any major side effects with my condition. I’ve got used to having the Soya bean within my d...
