Pasta with sunny siide up egg on top

When in Abu Dhabi I had carbonara, and it arrived with a sunny side up egg on top. Last night Kim went to the hockey game with a couple of friends and called to tell me that one had ordered linguine and it also came with an egg on top. This must be something new although I have found mamy sites on the Net so perhaps we are just behind the times. For myself, it did zip. One of her friends was so impressed she is going to serve it Christmas Eve.

Take care,

Here it is. The perfect egg I call it. Cooked sunny side up. With a bit of pepper and just right for dunking.

Notice the glaze over the yoke.

I had two poached eggs this morning atop a slice of last night's Swiss chard gratin. Delicious.

I find that the runny yellow of an egg adds a richness to a dish.

When I was a child, grandma would make a fried egg, sunny side up (firm, not runny) served on a bowl of rice with a dollop of oyster sauce. That is still a favourite comfort lunch. Now this dish is upscale and called "Asian rice bowl"

Seems to me in the old days all the eggs were served sunny side up.

Reason. They were always cooked in lard and the hot lard was just spooned over the yolk until the egg was done.

Over easy is a recent invention. It's just not the same.

It is a vast improvement enhanced by the invention of the non-stick frypan. Not only is all the goo of the eggwhite cooked, all that excess grease is avoided(Remember having to mop the grease off the eggs that swam in saturated fat. I can make 4 eggs over easy in my 11 inch square pan with little more than a tsp of bacon fat and a good natural fiber pastry brush.

No one ever gave me an egg sunnyside up when I was a kid because I would bring up. I could get out of going to school just by imagining a yellow yolk with that slimy mucus covering and it would make me vomit.

When we finally got our chicken farm when I was 11 or 12 I started doing cooking myself and discovered I could eat scrambled eggs if I scrambled them myself making sure than no obvious trace of yolk remained showing.

I will occasionally eat an omelet that John cooks. He makes them in a little black iron pan and finishes it off in the oven to be sure it is cooked through. I've had a frittata and didnt like it and I really hate quiche.

I was raised on a farm and can eat any type of egg recipe, but cannot stomach a "sunnyside up" egg with all that mucous, like Angora it would make me hurl!

Swing, nice to know that someone feels the same way I do. :)

Custard, I make a baked custard in little cups with nutmeg on top. I really like that. Custard that I make in a double boiler that is sauce like - no I dont like that. I'm not sickened by meringue it is just egg whites, but I dont like it and take it off pies etc.

I just dont like eggs - I dont like the smell or the taste or the feel. I do like the look of boiled brown eggs.

BTW does everyone know that raw eggs are very bad for cats?

The quote I remember is.

Real men don't eat quiche and real women don't pump gas.
