There are yolk people and there are whites people - I'm a yolk
person. When not cooked through, yolks are thick and rich, whites are
bland and slimy. I don't like hard whites, like meringue or French
Marcons either. The only way I like egg white that isn't combined
with yolk somehow is as angel food cake. Maybe someone can come up
with another way I'd like it, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment.

I can't stand a runny white, it is very unappetizing to me and if I see the
slightest bit of it in my egg, I am not eating the rest of the egg, that's
why I always order scrambled eggs in restaurants. I'm not crazy about
meringue on pies, but I like meringue shells fine.

As an occasional short-order cook during the summer while in school I
deeply appreciated customers like you and also the "over-easiers". A
couple of consecutive orders of soft-boileds would throw every
subsequent order out of kilter.

I've heard that diners etc won't serve soft-boiled eggs any more
nowadays because of "liability issues". I wish they'd been so chary
back in the 60s.

Mostly, he likes power. The good thing about Trump getting elected is that I
won't have to listen to people bitching about Hillary for 4 years. There are
a number of people in this country that cannot come to grasp the idea of a
female in the American White House. All they can see is that she's a woman
and that colors their perception of anything and everything she would ever
do.

It's been eight years of me hearing people go on and on because all they can
see is a black guy in the white house. I've pretty much had it up to here!

=============

Oh dear. Why is it such a big deal that he is black? Do you think he is a
good president? That is what matters.

I don't really know him and what I do know I don't like much, but 'black'
doesn't come into it.

Well, there you have it. I'm not especially fond of eggs, but they
are a quick and convenient source of protein. Perhaps it's the
flavor of the yolks. I never eat poached or soft-boiled eggs,
and I often throw away the yolks of hard-boiled eggs. They're
ok on a chef's salad (for example), where they tend to break
up, mix with the dressing, and almost disappear.

He's okay but unfortunately most of the things he would like to have
done were not possible, when he set foot in the White House the
cupboard was bare, Georgie had spent all and more on Iraq.

Some people cannot comprehend that there are issues of disagreement, so
they attribute it all to racism and the fact that he is black. Most
people who think he is doing a very poor job couldn't care less that he
was black.

We will have the same problem with Hillary - she will do more of the
same, if not worse, and people will scream anybody who disagrees is only
doing so because she is a woman.

OTOH, if Trump is elected, he'll give up after a few months and then
Mike Pence VP with strong ties to the Koch brothers will take over. That
is why Ted Cruz and other libertarians are now endorsing Trump.

OTOOH, Trump as president will, perhaps unintentionally on Trump's part,
reinvigorate the checks and balances that are so essential to our
government system, and which have largely fallen by the wayside under
our current president.

I was surprised to hear someone say that hated meringue. My mother used
to make them frequently and they were a common dessert with ice cream
and chocolate sauce or thawed fruits. My wife likes my mother's
meringues so much that she started making them, and they were better
than my mother's. However, I have had meringues from bakeries and at
catered affairs, and I quickly learned why some people don't like them.
The perfectly formed and swirled commercial meringues are like sweetened
styrofoam.

Yes, I am sure they will One of the most overused name calling here is
now 'Racist', even when the problem has nothing to do with race! They turn

I could explain how it came into being but it began with politics and not

That's interesting because the flavour of the yolk changes a lot with
degree of cooking. A runny yolk, IMO, is rich, smooth and delicious.
When well cooked the are dry and chalky tasting.

Different people have different tastes. My son likes to come and cook
brunch for us and he especially likes to cook a relatively heart healthy
style of scrambled eggs with spinach and hot sauce. Unfortunately, he
and I have vastly different ideas about how well cooked they should be.
I have trouble understanding how he can like them so badly overcooked,
and he has trouble understanding that I like them wet... very wet.

Think of putting a poached egg in a small dish, then use a spoon or fork
to break it into small pieces, with the yolk distributed through the
whole egg. That's not a very good description, but it was basically
what she did. Also, remember that I was talking about how my mother
would serve it to us in bed when we were sick. Today, I would prefer it
poached and on an English muffin, but that really was "comfort food."

All meringue is sweetened styrofoam to me. I don't see the attraction.
It's air and sugar. I prefer more complexity.

When my husband eats runny egg yolks, I sometimes have to leave the
table because the smell is so nauseating.

Wanna taste that yolk? Cook an omelet using the French method. You
know, temps so low it takes 8 mins of stirring b4 the damn thing even
starts to set up. But, WOW! Talk about yolk flavor. You'd think the
entire omelet is made of pure yolk.

When I make scrambled eggs I definitely cook them on very low heat.
French or not, I prefer very moist scrambled eggs.

I only know about the 'Egg Beaters' product because one of Mom's doctors
recommended it when she was first diagnosed with high cholesterol. This
was back when eggs were EVIL! She was supposed to avoid butter and
salt, too. She was supposed to use some sort of low-fat butter
substitute and low-sodium everything. She followed that routine for
years. She finally said enough, that's it, I'm going to eat whatever I
want!

I grew up with what Mom called "egg-a-cup": soft boiled egg with butter,
salt & pepper "chopped" with a spoon and served in a cup. A coffee cup,
actually. The yolk was mostly liquid but not necessarily completely
runny. The whites were well set but not like rubber. That's comfort
food to me. I still make egg-a-cup every once in a while.

There are meringues (meringue shells) and there are meringue toppings.
Meringue Chantilly is a dessert with a meringue shell, whipped cream and
a fruit sauce in top. It is pretty tasty combination.

After learning how to make meringues using the Italian method, I now
prefer them that way.

That's exactly the way my mother made it except that she used a very
small bowl instead of a cup.

Maybe I haven't had a decent meringue. I find them far too sweet and
the texture is gag-worthy (yes, like styrofoam).

I have always been intrigued by meringue island. Meringue poached in milk and served on a lake of custard sauce. That does not sound half bad.

My daughter makes meringue. Then she adds powdered sugar and almond flour and makes macarons. The result is rather delightful except for the 3 egg yolks left over. I guess I should be making custard.

Hence the custard and isles/clouds. One uses the yolk and the other uses
the whites.

I knew someone would mention another way I don't complain about
whites... as the softer meringue on pie. Hate hard meringue.

I think that's just an excuse or they wouldn't serve poached eggs.

I have always been intrigued by meringue island. Meringue poached in milk
and served on a lake of custard sauce. That does not sound half bad.

My daughter makes meringue. Then she adds powdered sugar and almond flour
and makes macarons. The result is rather delightful except for the 3 egg
yolks left over. I guess I should be making custard.

So what are you waiting for ... ) I like home made meringues but shop
bought are always dry with no flavour.

does not sound half bad.

I used to make Floating Islands for dinner parties. It's delicious
and very easy. Use the egg yolks to make the custard.
