More than an egg a day?

[Dogtrousers]

Pickled eggs, food of the gods.
Two with a bag of chips and I'm a very happy bunny.

You could always order two pickled eggs and a saveloy. Watch them try to arrange them on the paper in a non-suggestive manner.

You won't want to eat that in the busy chip shop though...

I've no idea why anyone would add mayonnaise. You've got eggs and butter and you add eggs and oil?????

I agree with this, but ... it's also an argument against eggs Benedict, and eggs Benedict (are/is???) lovely.

(I am a bit perturbed by @vickster, who doesn't like eggs, hence the ketchup. There are so many good things to eat that aren't eggs, why buy them if you don't like them?)

Eggs Benedict has hollandaise sauce, no?

My breakfast is often eggs Florentine (spinach rather than ham) and I make a hollandaise for that...so that's 2 eggs poached plus a raw yolk in the sauce.

 

[jefmcg]

Yeah, so you are adding eggs to eggs, similar to using mayonnaise.

 

[yello]

Sorry, run that past me again. I'm not quite sure I see your point.

I like ketchup, and eggs are easier to cook and better for you than other things that go with ketchup like sausages, burgers, chips...

You met me right?

I don't believe those so called experts anymore. They change their minds about everything every few months / years.

My personal feeling is "everything in moderation"

I think the quote from Michael Pollan will keep being a useful guide: Eat food***; not too much; mostly plants

***food is "from the edges of the supermarket" or "something your grandmother would recognise"

OK ....
@deptfordmarmoset said (paraphrase) "why would you put mayonnaise on eggs? it's just more eggs" I agree with that, mostly. But then, you could also say "why would you put hollandaise on eggs? it's just more eggs" which is clearly wrong, wrong WRONG.

 

[yello]

Cake can have eggs. Icing can have egg whites. No icing on cake?!

Eggs with hollandaise sauce is excellent. I certainly want an exception to the 'no eggs with eggs rule for that'! And that's before I even start thinking of other 'eggs with eggs' combos!

sometimes I'll go through 6 a day if i have scrambled eggs for breakie and an omelette for tea*

*AKA supper

*you mean dinner


as for eating more than 1 egg a day, we are a 5 person family with chickens laying 6-8 eggs a day and i usually eat 2 or 3 eggs a day most days of the week and i'm one of the healthiest 16 year old lads i know. of course regular exercise and physical work along with often spending 10-15 hours a day outside does help
Cheers Ed

It's breakfast, dinner, then tea.

Love poached eggs on toast. So eggs are ok then, as many as I want?
