  Eggs taste like metal

  I used to hate it but I eventually developed a taste for fried eggs

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

  I have chickens, and whether or not I like the taste and smell of eggs is wildly dependent upon the eggs and preparation.

  I worked at a chicken hatchery in high school and was traumatized by what we called “poppers”, which are eggs that rot inside with the shell fully intact, wherein any contact with the shell causes it to explode. It took me over a decade to eat eggs again. And I still won’t eat anything like quiche, omelets, or even just plain scrambled eggs. I find them gross for whatever reason.

  But a sunny side up or an egg salad or something? French toast? Egg bread? Breakfast bagel bombs? Sure.

  I like sunny side up eggs. I dip my toast in it and then pepper the crap out of the whites and eat that with toast too.

  It seems that way, but they smell awful to me and at best taste neutral

  I like scrambled eggs and omelettes, but that’s about it. Always with cheese.

  Nope, I think it’s disgusting.

  Smell and taste of eggs alone is tolerable but not good. Have to add at least salt to boiled eggs to make them taste OK. Not a huge fan of omelette or fried eggs either but if you put food in front of me I’ll probably eat it.

  This has changed over the years. Used to hate them until I was about 25 and just mildly dislike them until 30.

  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.

  They’re tolerable when scrambled and suitably seasoned, but I detest fried or hard-boiled eggs.
