How do you like your eggs?

I like a runny yolk. If I’m buying a fried egg roll from a cafe I want the yolk to be runny, and to seep into the bread. Conversely, I prefer to be able to cut scrambled egg than to have it wriggle slimily down my throat.

However, it seems I may be in a minority. Whenever I buy an egg roll (in London at least) they seem almost deliberately to smash the yolk apart, presenting me with a slab of rubbery foulness squashed into a bap.

Fortunately scrambled egg is different, most cafes seem to cook scrambled egg into slabs; it’s generally the home-cooking purists who want me to endure it cooked ‘properly’ (ie slippery).

    I couldn’t agree more about the egg yolk but have to admit to being a lover of  slimey scramble.
