Comment on do most people really like the taste and smell of eggs?
sockenklaus@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoIm not sure if it’s because I’m from Europe and it being not so popular here or because I’m a cretin but I don’t get poached eggs. Why would you take extra steps to prevent the egg from dissolving in the water when you can simply cook it inside it’s shell?

Soft-boiled eggs are just a bit too firmly ‘egg shaped’ to make a good benedict.
Poached eggs are flatter and the white is softer.
Also, to easily prevent the egg white from coming apart when you drop the egg in, just add a dash of vinegar to the boiling water. It causes the white to stick together.

So it’s mostly about the shape so that you can put the egg on toast? That I can understand but I think I prefer fried egg on my toast 😬

Yep. A Benedict or a Cali, the egg will roll off if it’s not flat.

I don’t know if anyone in the world does this too, but here in Germany, (when not using dried egg) we just use boiled egg and cut it in slices with an Eierschneider 🤣
