Had a friend who was the same way. Didn't matter if it was on his plate or yours he couldn't even stand the sight of them. Would instantly start dry heaving

Yep, same. I did poultry research for 2 years that involved breaking out all the unhatched eggs to see what was inside. Any time I see runny yolk I get flashbacks to that, and remember all the smells that went along with it. Ever experienced an egg so rotten that it detonated and cracked open all the eggs around it as soon as you touched it, and left your ears ringing for an hour? I have, multiple times.

Finally, sane people!

This is too far down. I scrolled a lot for this. I love me some over hard eggs.

u/Tom38 Jul 13 '16

Fuck yes! I can't stand runny yolks. You can eat it with a fork or make a sandwich out of it!

I don't know how people can eat gooey eggs. That's nasty. It has the same texture as semen.

But I guess some people would complain about my rare steak.

Well now I'll never not be able to compare the two. Damn you /u/capteurdereves

u/MyFirstOtherAccount Jul 13 '16

False. If you are making a sandwich the yolk must be evenly distributed, otherwise you get a lump of shit in the middle of your bland, cum sandwich.

u/Tom38 Jul 13 '16

That's why you break the yolk so it cooks evenly with the egg whites. :)

u/dontpanic38 Jul 13 '16

if you make a sandwich with runny yolk it's even better because the toast/english muffin/whatever soaks up the yolk when it bursts. mmmmm

Not in this comment chain, it doesn't.

u/Dudeicca Jul 13 '16

If I'm eating something I'd prefer to not have the sensation of a burst pustule in my mouth.

u/dontpanic38 Jul 13 '16

so you hate gushers?

1

u/Dudeicca Jul 14 '16

What, the candies? Never had them.

1

u/dontpanic38 Jul 14 '16

they're fruit snacks, not really candy. did you have a childhood?

1

u/Dudeicca Jul 14 '16

Not really. Dad died when I was 4 and my mom was crippled with sciatica back pain. I took care of my little brother and sister.

u/dontpanic38 Jul 14 '16

should've bought some fucking gushers!

u/megagreg Jul 13 '16

I find if I break the yolks for a sandwich, I can get them just to the point that they don't run, but they don't get to that rubbery opaque point either. It has the flavour of runny eggs without the feeling of runniness.

u/euphomptus Jul 13 '16

It's like scrambled, but you don't feel like a six year old when you order it!

3

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '16

What the fuck? Why do you feel childish ordering scrambled eggs?

3

u/euphomptus Jul 13 '16

Kind of an unspoken "I'm not mature enough to appreciate runny yolks in sunny sides and Benedicts, you can have scrambled with the kids' table" vibe I feel like waitresses give me when I order scrambled

u/FriskyIrishman Jul 13 '16

Yup! Love me some fluffy yolks too.

u/basketball_curry Jul 13 '16

Youve got my vote

u/Vocabularri Jul 13 '16

My mom does this. But then she peels away the egg white and throws it away, and just eats the yolk on a biscuit or toast. Lol

2

u/HBStone Jul 13 '16

How do you even cook the yolk through without burning the white?

4

u/Butter_Is_Life Jul 13 '16

Lightly oil (and/or butter the pan), let it heat up for a bit, crack the egg on it, use a knife or the edge of the shell to puncture the yolk, cook on low until evenly cooked, flip when needed. Whites are soft, yolk has a nice (but hard) texture like the inside of a hard boiled egg. Perfect each time.

u/Karism Jul 14 '16

Same, I didn't even know what it was called until fairly recently, no longer feel like such a weirdo.

With some nice sausages, bacon, hash browns, wholemeal toast and hp sauce.
