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.

I think eggs, potatoes, and tofu are in a similar category: there are so many drastically different ways of preparing them that it’s impossible to generalize; and when someone does, I just suspect that they haven’t yet found the exceptions.

I love eggs.

I’m having eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, spam and eggs!

• Rotten eggs = horrible awful smell
• “eggy farts” = horrible smell, sometimes labelled the same as rotten eggs
• Uncooked egg, e.g just cracked open = doesn’t smell of anything
• a nicely hard/medium boiled egg = nice “buttery” smell
• any egg cooked with butter or oil [e.g omelette, fried or scrambled] = Very nice combination of smells, half smells of whatever you cooked it in, half smells like the buttery smell of a boiled egg.

As for taste, yeah. It is largely dependent on whether you cooked them properly though. I also really like picking up on the taste of egg in a cake.

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.

Absolutely. Eggs are the perfect food. As Beyonce said “If you liked it you should have put an egg on it.”

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

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

I think probably the “purest” form of egg I eat is hard/soft boiled. In this case, I feel like there isn’t much of a smell, and it is fairly neutral. The taste of the whites is fairly neutral. Hardboiled yoke I’m not a huge fan of, but will eat out of habit. Soft boiled yoke is deliscious, and is the best form of egg.

Beyond that, eggs are great because they don’t have all that much flavor themselves, but are very versitile in their ability to carry other flavors in various forms. Eg, cheese, spices, and chili peppers in a breakfast burrito; salt, pepper, and butter on an over easy egg, with some toast dipped in the yoke; etc.

Its kind of like chicken. Chicken on its own doesnt taste that great. It tastes great when it is spiced and cooked well.

Yes. Makes sense, too.
Eggs were a nutritious food that’s relatively easy to get, long before we even evolved into modern humans.

I do.

I do. I’m actually making eggs right now. I just know how to make them not burnt. Maybe people suck at cooking eggs, I don’t know.

Yes. Boiled. Fried. Scrambled. Poached. All of them. Alway runny. Yummy.

Fresh cooked eggs? I mean most of the time, yeah.

Love them. I’d prefer they didn’t have runny yolks, but I will eat them that way, and any other way.

I could eat a dozen hard-boiled eggs a day, except that would make me sick. I tried to use eggs to up my protein intake several years ago, I was eating four a day, but that upset my tummy. I can have one a day, but usually I only have about three a week, because I don’t really need them, I just like them, so I spend my food budget elsewhere.

I absolutely D E T E S T eggs. I abhor the smell, taste, feel, no matter what state it is in, it’makes me gag just thinking about it. Ever since I got weaned on solid foods according to my mum. It just makes me gag. I tried to like them, I really did, but the thought of eggs going past my lips makes me almost scared. I’m fine with eggs when you cannot taste them, like in baked goods like muffins or pancakes. Quiches are borderline, there needs to be a lot of ham and cream to mask the taste and texture of eggs.

I’ve gotten slightly more tolerant to smell as I grow older, I’m even able to cook fried eggs for the husband. Although I have no idea if I’m doing it right or not I refuse to taste test it.

I’m so envious of people who say they eat lots of eggs because they’re versatile and it’s a cheap source of protein, alas it’s not for me.
