    every morning I toast an english muffin on the cast iron, cook two brown and serve sausages, and fry up an egg. I combine these into a beautiful egg sandwhich and while annoying to make quickly before going to work, is the highlight of my morning when I sit down at my desk.

    Eggs are my favorite thing and why I can't be vegan.

    Fry the egg, boil the egg, poach the egg, scramble the egg and layer it for super fluffy egg, pour egg into a pan and make an omelette. Eggs are amazing and I honestly don't care enough for chickens to be bothered by where they come from. I hope one day I can raise my own stinky chickens and be self reliant for my egg habit.

        Is this post anti or pro chicken? I can't figure it out.

      why not change some of the other stuff then? there's some pretty good veggie sausages. I'm not vegan but there's a lot of animal products I cut out cuz I found good replacements for them or just didn't care for them much

        I restrict a lot of meat in my diet already. I just rather not eat sausage than eat veggie sausage though. Something about veggie alternatives trying to be meat doesn't sit well in my head. I rather just have meals that act like veggies. Vegetarians/vegans can learn a lot from looking at other cultures, specifically Indian and Ethiopian. Both still eat meat but their veggie meals are full fledged and thought out. Or consider a carribean person's "provisions". Basically the equivalent of poverty sausage, but with carbs. Cassava, plantain, carrot, pepper, etc makes for a filling soup that you can make last the whole week.

        The sausages I have in my egg sandwhich are tiny though, cut in half to spread across the bread. I think every 2-3 days I have a serving of sausage.

            I'll be honest my mind was all over and when i originally typed it I totally forgot the context of the sausage bit. I'm a fan of impossible/beyond artificial meats tbh. Any faux sausages you can recommend?

    I eat many eggs per week. This is a good post. I like eggs any way but I've never eaten a raw egg.

    Story: i cooked the omelette station for brunch at a country club. And so there would be about 10 people queued in front of me. And these jackass booomers were like watching a show. They'd literally clap when I flipped one. It wasn't in my mandate to be friendly which was nice. Being able to be rude to customers.

        This one old prick was almost in tears because we didn't have toast on the buffet line. So I made him and about 10 other people stand there waiting while I personally walked into the kitchen to toast 2 pieces of bread.

        Every time a person got bossy about my cooking, I'd gesture the handle of my spatula at them like "you want to do it?"

        They treated me like I was a zoo exhibit though. They'd video me cooking, they wouldn't even ask.

    You know what's nice? frying eggs in a tiny pan or cooking ring. It's way more thick than frying it. It's like half way between boiling and frying an egg. Make sure to break the yolk. It's great on an English muffin.

      What temp does your water boil at?? For me ~6 minutes makes a medium boiled egg where the yolk is still a bit runny but mostly holds together, anything over 8-9 minutes is hard boiled. 10 minutes gets your egg just a bit undercooked though??

          Are you putting the eggs in and then bringing the water up to temp before timing it?

          Nope. Boiling water, eggs in, out in 6 minutes, delicious MBE ready. Roughly the same elevation as you as well.

          Maybe I'm just remembering the times wrong, it's been a while since I've made any.

    Now I want eggs. Poached is good, and much easier than most people seem to think.

    Anyone got a good recipe they use for deviled eggs? Only the chud-anglo side of my family really makes them and with covid I definitely intend to not see them this year.

    Be cooler if you didn't

    Chickens live horrible lives as the calcium is stripped from their body to produce an egg every single day living in horribly packed conditions with no access to sunlight

    Check this out: https://youtu.be/LQRAfJyEsko?t=1406

    Really great info in here if you want to understand egg production.

        Do you not understand how eggs work?

        Where is it you think enough calcium to produce an eggshell daily comes from?

        Maybe watch the video first, because calcium drain is a major reason why egg-laying hens are so unhealthy and eventually their bones become so brittle they cannot stand.
