- Rotten eggs = horrible awful smell
- “eggy farts” = horrible smell, sometimes labelled the same as rotten eggs
- Uncooked egg, e.g just cracked open = doesn’t smell of anything
- a nicely hard/medium boiled egg = nice “buttery” smell
- any egg cooked with butter or oil [e.g omelette, fried or scrambled] = Very nice combination of smells, half smells of whatever you cooked it in, half smells like the buttery smell of a boiled egg.
As for taste, yeah. It is largely dependent on whether you cooked them properly though. I also really like picking up on the taste of egg in a cake.
I guess maybe some of us are more sensitive to sulfur than others. I’ve never had an egg that didn’t seem at least a little bit farty.
Same, not a fan of the smell but I love the taste.
I even get farm eggs from my mom, still kind of farty.
My partner gets some similar fancy eggs and loves them, but I have to hide 'em in something. They’ll definitely enhance a fried noodle dish, but if you’re just frying the egg on its own, I’ll pass.
I’m neutral on the smell, but eggs are damn tasty.
I think eggs, potatoes, and tofu are in a similar category: there are so many drastically different ways of preparing them that it’s impossible to generalize; and when someone does, I just suspect that they haven’t yet found the exceptions.
I love eggs.
I’m having eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs, spam and eggs!
I take that, but without the spam!
Slow down there Gaston.
Absolutely. Eggs are the perfect food. As Beyonce said “If you liked it you should have put an egg on it.”
If you think you don’t like eggs, try some actually decent fresh ones some time.
Supermarket food is so devoid of flavour. I understand for food not local or out of season, but things like tomatoes being bred for size and looks…
For me eggs are a better improver of foods than a base for a meal. I.e. I’ll rarely crave “eggs” in general, but I could be planning a meal of something else and then think “oh, an egg will be nice with that”.
It entirely depends on freshness and how the egg is cooked.
I like eggs, but old or even slightly burnt eggs get pretty gross.
I do.
Smell, no. Taste, yes. I don’t understand how something that stinks so much while cooking can taste so good but yes, I like fried eggs, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, as long as they aren’t overcooked they are good.
Growing up, I didn’t like the taste of the yoke, and had a texture issue with the way most eggs were cooked. Supposedly I was also allergic but I think that was just a convenience. Now I love them. Every style
A big part of it was growing out of the texture issue. By the time I did that, I found had long dance grown out of any taste issues. But it’s also important that I was exposed to more ways to cook more eggs by more people. For whatever reason I was open to trying new eggs until I eventually went back and liked old eggs
Except egg salad. There’s just something about slimy egg bits drowned in a tub of mayo that seems too unpleasant to even look at
Have you ever had egg flavour(ed) crisps?
😳🤮
Yes.
Used to use eggs as a medium for salt, pepper and other more flavourful ingredients.
Fucking love it. Fresh-cooked eggs are great, especially egg yolk.
However, if you genuinely don’t like em, don’t let anyone force you to eat them just because most people like them! Throw the eggs in their face! Demand a better thing that isn’t an egg! Build a house of pain made of egg-loving freaks! Stand on it, laughing maniacally, flamethrower trigger permanently on!
…or hopefully people will accept it when you politely refuse eggs. That would also be nice.
Wasted opportunity for a lemon speech, but still close enough.
I like the lemon speech, but sometimes it’s good to try and be original, fail horribly, and regret everything.
Understandable :D
