    Anyone ever try to drink a cup of raw eggs? I've done it a few times. 6 was the most.

    The Rambo influence.

    Not sure if anyone knows this but raw egg whites are only about 50% bioavailable as opposed to pretty much all the white when cooked. Basically only half the available protein. Cheers

    Not at all. Even in small amounts eggs are massive reflux triggers for me, both the egg white and the yolk. No idea why.

    Well thank you for a super argument for not eating undercooked eggs. "I'm not picky, I'm just maximizing my protein" :D

    Any which way but fried!

    Poached, boiled, omelette, quiche, shakshuka, poached on top of a huge salad, scrambled…the only way I cannot eat eggs is fried. Totally gross!

    I don’t like very runny yolks, can eat them jammy or fully cooked, but keep those greasy fried or slimy runny yolks to yourselves!

    Also, as an English person, whilst I understand the concepts of over easy etc…I have to ask ‘why’? That’s just weird! 😂

    The 2006 Joy of Cooking has a fun section on omelets. I combined a few concepts and made one with sautéed apples, apple brandy, cheese, and bacon.

    Interestingly, the rolled omelet I made last week did not break as I rolled it. The folded omelet, which included 10 g of half and half, did rip when I folded it. I don't know if that was folded vs rolled, or the H&H.

    I throw in eggs with my ramen. Basically poaching them.

    Yep, poach an egg or two in a pot of boiling water and cook the ramen with a handful of shelled edamame. Drain and pour the little soy sauce packet over the top and you've made dinner in about 7 minutes. Bonus points for chili crisp stirred in too.
