Show me your breakfast

I agree - but you know me and scramble. American scramble is a different animal to French or British scramble.

Yeah, you can't drink American scrambled eggs.

You do realize that I am going to tease you about your egg preferences until you grow tired of me, and ban me from the forum, right?

You should see my scrambled eggs, they're really dry and that's how I like it I can't stand even a tiny bit of "runny " yolk.

 

[TastyReuben]

Okay I just thought they looked dry, it wasn't about the color

Oh, these were definitely scrambled hard, but that doesn’t bother me.

I just like eggs. I cook mine a certain way, but I'll eat them cooked just about any way.

That is exactly how I am. Sunny side up to broken yolk over hard, wet or dry, I don’t care. It’s an egg. It’ll be good no matter what.

The only kind of egg I DO NOT care for is Sunny Side Up and the white is still runny ... there's a term for that ... ... NOPE!!

This is has been my breakfast for the past years. I have the same things for breakfast everyday and I really enjoy it.

I'm with you on that one. I'd rather the white is slightly crisp than still runny, but the yolk has to be runny.

I can't stand runny yolk in the rare times when I eat sunny side eggs, I only eat the white and never the yolk.

The yolk is the best bit! (at least from my chooks it is)

That's what everyone tells me, but I just hate the texture and mouthfeel. So, more yolk for whoever happens to be eating with me

Whereas I don't like the slimy, gloopy feel of runny whites...

Lets say American scramble is different from European scramble then, ours is the same as the British and French types

Classic French scrambled egg is different as TastyReuben will testify (having experienced it not long ago on holiday). Its very slow cooked over a very low heat for a long time. So its not floppy soft tumbling curds (how I like it) but a smoother almost porridge like texture. There's a video from Jamie Oliver somewhere demonstrating the three methods (American, French and UK). I think I may have posted the link before...

..found it. Here is a link to the post.

True, although Jacques Pepin does demonstrate the technique and can get it done fairly quickly.

I have another cookbook for French food, and it describes making the eggs in a double-boiler over very low heat, and stirring nonstop for 30 minutes to achieve the desired texture.

That would never cut it in an American diner. If you don’t have your food within 10 minutes of ordering it, something’s probably wrong. Diners are all about in and out as quickly as possible.
