  4. I talk about this all the time. You can change your perspective. Vast numbers of people eat and enjoy all kinds of non exotic foods. Eggs, steak, fish etc. Many think it is gross. But I say you ate missing out on an incredible, rich and soul comforting experience because it's red? the yoke is runny? Fish!?!? I love chicken liver. I hated it before. But I decided I wanted to like it. So I would smother it with bacon, onions and vineager., then started removing the amout of b,o,v until it was just liver. Why deny what we are loving. You could be loving it too.

  9. The food/brain dynamic is fascinating. I think texture is a big part of it. (Idk)
    Personally, I love the flavor of onions. BUT, give me sort of wet floppy sauteed onions and I'll run out of the room (even though they smell divine).
    I try to adapt recipes to use pureed onions. It's a pain and does not always help the recipe, but I'm trying.
    The egg thing I understand. My beautiful Nana had a tendency to leave undercooked egg white around the yolk. See ya! I'm outta here.

  17. Whites must be completely cooked and I prefer the yolks medium to where they're just slightly runny but mostly gelatinous. Virtually no restaurant can do this because It's nearly impossible on a scorching hot griddle.

    I think it's mostly an OCD thing where I don't like my food to mix. I've learned to just mix the yolk in with my hash browns though. 😂

  27. When I was growing up, the only way my mom would make eggs was if they were cooked to death first. Scrambled eggs were dry and rubbery, fried eggs smelled so horrible from the overcooked yolk, that it almost made me gag. For much of my adult life, I wouldn't touch eggs at all. It wasn't until I got married, at age 35, that my wife brought me around. She made me a fried egg, on a new electric griddle we got as a wedding gift, with the yolk oozing out, when the egg was cut into, she made sure there was plenty of bacon and toast on my plate, toast made from my own homemade bread so I could mop up all that yolk and I thought I had died and gone to heaven. It was almost like I had a preference for medium rare steak and I just didn't know it. And she showed me how to properly cook scrambled eggs Now, I love egg! And I'm the one that does all the egg cooking hell, most of the cooking for our family. So my point is, I absolutely can relate.
