There seems to be an incredible love affair with the egg. For years, health experts pushed for feeding your kids a daily breakfast of eggs, bacon and toast. Then the pendulum swung the other way, what with the cholesterol hazards and the artery clogging bacon, modern mothers were made to feel like abusive heathens if they didn't feed their children organic earth foods. Now, health experts agree, the egg is not only incredible, but edible as well, and it does a body good. So, how do you like your eggs?

What's incredible is the nausea that the mere smell of eggs causes me.

I could probably recite the Bhagavad Ghita in a room full of CS.

Just the MEMORY of the smell of eggs makes me heave.

Could ya explain just what ya really mean by that? :D

Just kidding. Sorry for the horror of eggs. I would have to vote about sixteen times because I like them just about any way but I prefer scrambled. (Notable Exception: "Deviled" eggs - which truly are an invention of the Devil. "No Sir and No thank ya!")

My favorite is poached, sittin' on a piece of toast. Next would be over easy, with a big buncha grits or taters to mix it with. Third place would be to stir up a mess of hashbrowns,along with some crumbled up sausage. Then throw in some onion and stir about three eggs into the mess and stir all that up 'til the eggs is cooked. Eat that for breakfast and you don't need nothin' else for the rest of the day.

Oh, that's real hash browns, as in "left over last night's boiled taters, sliced and diced, and cooked in bacon grease with lots of black pepper", not them shavings you get at Waffle House.
 
I love eggs and there have been several studies that show fresh eggs lower cholesterol instead of increase it....

I haven't had my cholesterol checked for a few years but it was always really low with plenty of the HDL or good stuff.

I like eggs in every way. Poached, over easy on toast, scrambled with onions and sausage, deviled eggs, hard boiled....

There's a little diner in a town just east of Sturgis I stopped by during the motorcycle rally that serves scrambled eggs with onions, peppers, sausage and hash browns, then they smother the whole works with biscuit gravy. Mmmmm :D

Eggs are the best.

My very favorite though is Goose eggs! I have a friend that raises organic geese and ducks, etc, and he gives me goose eggs. The yolks are bright orange and the size of tennis balls! Very rich and delicious!

I wish I could find a supplier for goose eggs year round....

Somehow "soft boiled" was left off the list. That's the way God intended eggs to be eaten!

You're right, and there's no way for me to edit the thread to add it in...my fave as well when I was a kid, three minute eggs with saltine crackers and real butter.
 
Honestly, all of the above including poached and over easy! I voted sunny side up though, probably because we see the sun so seldom on the wet side of the great Northwest! We have chickens and get our own fresh eggs, truly the only way to go!
 
I like eggs many ways. Fried medium, fried hard for a sammich, boiled, scrambled, baked in an egg pie. I just enjoy them but try to limit intake as well.
 
Seems like in even years they are good for you, in odd years bad. They can't make up their minds. But thats okay, throughout human history there is a love affair with poultry and eggs. We dined on eggs 1000s of years ago. Back in the days before anyone had ever heard of the USFDA. Chicken, duck, goose, or quail eggs, all of them yummy.
I have a small flock of layers out back. My kids eat a lot of eggs, they have good health, dispositions, and they know more than most kids their ages do about animals and where the food they eat comes from. Seems eggs are good for their minds too.

A couple if years ago I got a hundred dollar Government grant to study the value of government funded studies. One of the first things I discovered is that 47% of statistics are made up on the spot. I also discovered that 99.9 % percent of people who die ate eggs during their lives, but even more dangerously, 100% of the people who breathe air and consume water die.
 
I raise a few Rhode Island Reds and Barred Rocks so I have eggs all the time. I give away more eggs than I eat, but the best way for me is scrambled although I can eat them just about anyway.
 
Somewhere around 40 years ago I was diagnosed with high Triglygerides. I was told among other things to limit my eggs to two days a week. Then just about 20 years ago my Triglycerides spiked to 750 and i was told to diet or I would be on medication the rest of my life. This time the doctor told me to limit sugar (carbohydrates) as well as red meat and eggs. In a month my Triglycerides came into the 130's. Geeze, all these years I could have been eating eggs for breakfast every day and i was eating cereal and the carbs in the cereal were keeping my blood lipids high. Shoot!

My fav aint on the list

Make my eggs into an omelet;

add shrimp & chopped green onion then top with chedder cheese. A couple 'tater pancakes on the side with a glass of buttermilk to wash it down.

Also for your ways to fix eggs,

pickled
deviled
quiche
custard

The poll won't be accurate without an "all the above" button, eh- on second thought, maybe leave out the balut!
