Eggs

Does anyone else but me try and get as much of the white stuff on the egg yolk off before frying it?

That grosses me out. It looks so slimey! I use a spoon and try and take as much off as I can lol.

Sometimes I will just toss the egg yolks out and cook the whites.

I only like the yolk so no and I don't eat eggs much, not my favorite food.

I eat the entire egg. Mostly scrambled. I like making omelettes.

In general, eggs gross me out. I use for baking without a problem...but I despise making fried or scrambled eggs for my dh. Now, if someone else cooks the eggs, I will eat them. Yes, I know i am weird.

@CherryHugs I do everytime. I use a spoon and chase that sucker down! I get it out everytime. I doubt that they do that at my local diner; so I try not to think about it when I'm there😝

It doesn't bother me at all....just part of the egg. Honestly, I don't think I've ever heard of anyone wanting to remove it!

No. I fry my eggs but I eat the entire egg.

Not a fan of either fried or poached eggs. Would just as soon just eat the white. I like scrambled though.

Are you referring to the chalaza...the two white strings that attached the egg to the shell?

That's just a bit of protein that is found in fresh eggs that keeps the eggs content from bumping into the sides of the shell.

It seems to disappear in older stale, but still safe to eat eggs. It also disappears when eggs are cooked.

It doesn't bother me at all. I never acquired picky eating habits as a child. I eat the whole egg.

No. It's just egg.

I only eat hard-boiled eggs and just 2 per week. Not crazy about them but my dog loves them so she shares them with me. Otherwise I wouldn't bother buying them at all.

You are not alone. I eat a lot of eggs (great protein) but I do not like looking at that snot-like mucus and remove as much as is possible.

I make French toast and eggs for breakfast sometimes for DH and myself but raw eggs gross me out. I thought that the white thing is the unfertilized chick. I 'd much rather eat them in a restaurant so I don't have to see them raw.

I just fry 3/4 firm or scramble, or we devil them.

Not a fan either, though I use them in baking.

@turtle52

The chalaza has nothing to do with fertilization or forming a baby chick.

No, you're hardly the only one. I love eggs, make all kinds (except poached because no one's ever asked for those), but never order them out because I "clean them up" before cooking when I make omelettes or scrambled eggs. For eggs where I dont want the yolk broken, I just baste them. DH couldn't care less about the chalaza, but he loves my eggs lol.

BTW, there's actually a device available to remove it, so someone sees a need for it based on their preference, but a fork or using part of the eggshell removes it quickly and easily for me.
