Hi, I absolutely hate cooked eggs of any kind. The only time I'll eat them is if there's a hard-boiled egg in a potato salad. I refuse to eat them! I think they're so disgusting! my mom told me once that she read in a magazine that a lot of blind people hate eggs. so, I was wondering how many of you like eggs. Most blind people I talk to do like them.
I wonder what the reason that would be. I happened to like eggs. Especially in omlets or with bacon.
I love eggs, heavenly...! MMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I love them, but if I eat them too often or if I eat a lot of eggs I actually feel naucious towards them.

I love eggs. but if it's prepared as an omlate with onion and pepper with little salt.
Raaj.
I would guess blind ppl are like anyone else, some like them and some don't. I happen to love them.
I love eggs, especially deviled eggs. Omg, I'd eat those any day. lol
Honestly...I like scrambled eggs, boiled eggs (or hard-boiled, more like) devilled eggs and that's basically it. I'll eat a fried egg, or one made sunny-side up or over-easy, but I'm not so fond of those. Devilled eggs rock!
Eggs are possessed of an odd texture, and I find that in my experience at least, we blinks are a little more attuned to texture than your average sighted person...so if eggs are a little on the iffy side - and I'd attest they are, though not at the level of, say, tomatoes or calamari - then it stands to reason that it might be a bit more touchy on the whole for us as to whether or not we like 'em.
In general, though, I think it really does come down to preference outweighing physiology in a case like this.
when i was a kid the only eggs i would willingly eat were deviled or hard cooked. perhaps many blind people don't like them because they had to ingest the powdered variety as served at many schools for the blind.
My mom's scrambled eggs could have been used as an interrogation tool. "you don't talk and it's georgine's eggs for you my friend!!!!!" Facing Those under cooked flavorless slime bombs would cause even the most hardened of secret agents to reveal all.
On the other hand, dad made the traditional omelet. He could flip and fold like a noted chef. Before it was popular, he'd put things like broccoli and mushrooms in them and I loved them.
My husband and kids make the best scrambled eggs in the world!!!! Flavorful, filled with veggies and meat, they are worth waking up for. In fact when they were younger, every super bowl sunday my son and daughter had the "scrambled superbowl." They'd create new and different formulas for making these eggs. Jim and I would have to judge. What a flavor fest that was. The only problem was, we could never choose a winner. Most were outstanding.
Has anyone ever had poached eggs on toast? I've heard that's supposed to be pretty good.
It has been my experience that the poached variety are why many sighted people think blind folks dislike eggs. Several of my friends lost their vision late in life. For whatever reason, the first thing they were given to eat sans sight was a poachedchicken ovum. At first blush this seems like an easy task. Think about it though. You are lying proped up in a hospital bed using one of those tray tables. They slap down a slipery slimy squishy blob and you have to try and manipulate it on to a fork. You are working at an entirely new skill in an alien environment. Once you wrestle the dastardly devil to your mouth, it drips and slips all over you. Just a thought.
Ew'w'w'w! nice. Well, my mum absolutely, can not, stand eggs in any shape or form with the acception of scrambled eggs. They make her throw up just looking at them, especially the shell, so I try to step in and boil, poach, scramble or, well, attempt, to fry them when we cook them as part of a meal. Poached egg on toast is my favourite, followed by boiled eggs, best served with bread and butter, bubbling merrily away quite fiercely for 5 and a half minutes on a ceramic hob so you don't have any of that dangerous, salmonella carrying bacterior let loose in an underdone runny yolk in the centre. Eggs are also best kept at room temperature, because as we all know, there are air pockets in the smaller end of the egg between the shell and the internal membrane before you come to the white, so they will most probably explode on contact with the boiling water if you don't bring them down to room temperature for half an hour before cooking. It wouldn't be the first time I've had them explode on me, spraying me with hot water because I hadn't given them long enough out of the fridge.

I like scrambled eggs, hard-boiled, devilled eggs, that's basically it for me right now. Oh and I forgot omelettes.
We love eggs roudd here. Bruce's day just isn't right without eggs for breakfast in some form.Omlet scrambled it doesn't matter.We can turn anything in to an omlet. Leftovers can be turned in to fantastic seconds next morning. Poached egges have to be cooked just right. A dash of vinigar in the boiling water makes hardcooked eggs peal easier and the whites and yolks not separate in cooking poached eggs. Those rings you use for making crumpets or english muffins work well for frying or poaching eggs. Butter the inside of the rings before dropping in the egg. I hope one day to have a backyard flock of laying hens. We've been getting our eggs from Amish farmers lately and you can't beat the taste. Oh, I can't eat tomatos oh god no. Squishy slimy yuuucck! I wonder why they'd serve poached eggs to a recovering newly blind person? Unless they had a weak stomach or some other illness and even then I'd try broth or a plain omlet.
mmm, eggs. love with salt and pepper.
I enjoy scrambled eggs and omlets with or without cheese. Strangely, I'll only eat hard boiled eggs when the yolk is removed. I don't know why but the taste of the yolk from a hard boiled egg just never agreed with me. I also don't like soft boiled or really runny eggs, which, again, is strange, as I'm not one who usually cares about texture in food.
I love omlets, eggs benidict, hard boiled, deviled, and pickled eggs. As for just quickly frying an egg, I like to break the yolk, and add a touch of freshly ground black pepper, sea salt, and tabasco, then fry the hell out of it until it's crispy on the edges. Mmmmmm. Not a huge fan of scrambled eggs though oddly enough.
I like eggs! yum!
I love eggs. Omlets, scrambled, hard boiled, deviled eggs or any way you can think of. Breakfast, lunch or dinner. One of my favorite meals is a scrambled egg sandwich. I pile a big heap of scrambled eggs on some nice wheat bread with a little mayo. Sometimes I'll add some tomato if I have a good one. That's good eatin'!
I like hard boiled eggs and fried eggs. Otherwise I can take them or leave them though I enjoy the occational omelit.
I like eggs if they are done right. although, I don't eat them that often. I make them for Chloe though, she loves them. I like them mostly fried on toast. yum
Pickled eggs? For real? I thought they were just ... a gag gift thing or something? I know bars have them sometimes but I've never seen anyone eating one, nobody's mentioned eating one to me before. Sounds rather odd. Takes all kinds I guess.
unfortunately leo, pickled eggs do exist. they are hard cooked eggs that are put to marinate in the nasty disgusting juice off of pickled beets. ge-ross!!! why anyone has to recycle something from one of the three foods which will never pass my lips is beyond me!!!! for the record the other two are spinach and canned spinach.
Hmm bet they've been there in a pub all along and I just didn't know it. I've bought the occasional cigarette from the big jub in the middle - before they made all bars smoke-free, but never accidentally ran into a pickled egg ... which is a good thing ...
I love eggs, but my sister who is sighted can't stand being in the same room as cooked eggs!
mmm egg salad...
I will eat them with a mouse and I will eat them in a house.
Seriously though, I think Turricaine hit the nail on the head with the comment about kids at schools for the blind having to endure the powdered eggs. I attended TSBVI for about a year and a half while I learned braille and it was litterally 15 years later before I really learned to enjoy eggs, and that took allot of hot sauce. LOL
I'm with Reyamey too; I could eat my weight in deviled eggs.
My sighted stepmom, on the other hand, can't even stand to smell an egg, much less, eat one.
I don't like eggs as in that they're not one of my favorite foods, but I'll eat them. My favorite ways to eat them are soft-scrambled, fried, as deviled eggs, as omelets, scrambled with potatoes and topped with catsup, or fried and in a bacon and egg sandwich with some lettuce and tomatoes and Miracle Whip mayonnase. I actually don't mind the school eggs, as long as I have some sausage links or patties to eat them with. Also, my dad likes to make sandwiches of a hard-boiled egg, sliced block cheese, and pickles, and those are pretty good too. Also, I don't mind them boiled and in potatoe salads and in salad spreads for sandwiches.
I like eggs scrambled, fried or hard boiled or as omelettes.
Hard boiled are great!
Aah, break two eggs into a freezer bag, close it and shake, open it again, throw hot sauce, handful of shreaded cheese, some tomatoes/onions/green yellow or jalapino peppers, saucage, ham or bacon .. close bag and shake again, then throw into boiling water for 10 to 15 minutes, fish out and enjoy.
That, my friends, is delicious.
Aw man! I'm gonna have to try that! Quick, sounds good, and doable almost anywhere.
I've heard of doing that. the 13-minute omlet. I've never done it, but hey, you only dirty one pot, and not even really that since the food is in a bag. Sounds great.
As for me, I like eggs fried, scrambled as long as it's not totally plain, in omlets, poached, and boiled is pretty good as long as I have a little salt and pepper on them.
did I hear eggs? I love them kind of runny but kind of not, best way to eat them. i don't like absolutely cookked egg yokes.
you have to eat them soft boiled with Tabasco sauce! they are the best taht way
I like scrambled eggs and omelets. Whenever I eat eggs, whether they're scrambled or an omelet, I have to put a lot of salsa on them Mmmmmm! The texture of hard boiled eggs really doesn't agree with me though. When I was living in Pittsburgh, a lot of times I would get a salad, and it had fries and hard boiled eggs on it. Now, I love fries, but they just don't belong on a salad. And the competing textures of the fries, soaked in dressing, and the eggs, was just nasty.
never heard of putting fries in salad... that does sound really gross lol.
surprised I didn't say this in either posts. but here gos another one on this topic,
I usually prefer soft boiled eggs over anything, but if a egg has to be well done, I rather it fried then boiled if it's boiled it has to be runny as I did say on my last post that I really much prefer if egggs are not really cooked all the way. I prefer an omlet or fried over easy and then soft boiled scrambled eggs is somehow not really my thing and, I really don't like much toppings on my eggs for some reason, I just can't stand it, it doesn't taste that natural and good. As I think eggs are already good naturally and heavenly in itself and don't need much toppings. I only eat them with hot sauce or salt and peppers if it's powdered eggs or something which is nasty by the way. but I love egg in aalmost anything too. if it's in a berrito I guess it would need to be scrambled but that's about it. I also like it fried in sandwiches. and also I love when it's used to compliment things in dishes. or steamed but that's probably asian and that's really really good. I mix it with rice and once mum dropped a raw egg in my rice which was as good, but I haven't had it in a long while probably at least 3 or 4 years. or when it's cooked in something like tomato and eggs that's heavenly. I mix that with rice too. or when it's used in frying shrimp and stuff.
I like my eggs poached or sunny side up. Omlets are okay, but I don't eat them often.
Fries in a salad? Strange!
Eggs are great, but I only like them scrambled, hard-boiled, or as an omlet. Soft-boiled eggs are just nasty. Runny eggs of any kind are. Like someone else on here said, when I was little I'd take the yolk out of a hard-boiled egg and only eat the white. But as I got older, the yolk became something I really like, and now I eat the whole thing with some salt and pepper.
Powdered eggs? I didn't even know that such a thing existed! That's sincerely gross! I was thinking that maybe the reasons some blind people don't like eggs is their texture, but if they had to eat powdered eggs, that would ruin it forever, I'm sure.
Powdered eggs are famous at schools for the blind. I had to experience them myself, and they were nasty as shit. They taste and feel like rubber.
I never went to a school for the blind, thank God. I was grateful for that anyway, but if Iowa's school used such food, I'm doubly so!
Powdered eggs? Now that just sounds nasty. Ugh ... Wow.
yeah, we have them here too if I have to get them because that's the only hot food there is you are sure a lot of hotsauce is going down my digestive system too! just yuck! powdered anything edible is disgusting.
eww!powdered egg sounds gross!
I looove eggs!! Over easy, scrambled, deviled, egg salad, omlits, fried eggs, poached, and the list goes on. i've never had eggs benidict, though. I love to put cheese and mushrooms in my scrambled eggs. I also make fried egg sandwiches sometimes on my foreman grill. I put my extra grease tray under the front of the bottom portion so that the grill is not slanted, but is completely flat instead. I turn it on and get it hot, then melt a little butter between the plates to grease it. after that, I break two or three eggs onto the surface of the grill. I set the timer on the grill for a few minutes and check on it. If I want them cooked more, then they can be cooked more. Once they're done, I scrape them off with my grill spatula and put them on my bread with mayo and sometimes cheese and bacon. sooo yummy!!
Take Care,

I didn't know they called those eggbeaters 'powdered eggs' before. I had just used to call those things Army eggs, because we were always told they gave those to the guys in boot camp.
Now here's something I do with eggs, some of you all will probably gross out but I think it's really good after a good Saturday morning run:
Open a couple of those small cans of smoked shellfish: usually one oysters and one clams. Crack in two eggs into the same bowl with them, pour on some Franks Hot Sauce, then microwave for two to four minutes depending on the consistency you want for the eggs. Oh and sometimes if I'm starved out I've put in up to four eggs.
Squealing chick alert, fellows: those of the fairer persuasion may well give funny looks and comment at the results, but don't let 'em dissuade you. I do it now almost every Saturday: get up, go for a good hard run / cycle / maybe some push-ups thrown in, come in and cook that up and grub out. It's good.
