Eggs - how do you like yours? Poached? Unfertilised?

I was telling 2 Polish people today about poached eggs. I explained the process to each of them in great detail, but the concept was totally alien to them. Is poaching unheard of throughout the whole of Poland?

What is your favourite way of cooking/eating eggs?

Scrambled but nice and runny or poached ones are beautiful if done right.

:)

Did you have any eggs when you were in Poland? (Trying to keep this thread out of Random Lounge)

i made poached eggs on marmite toast for my now ex gf, she loved them but had never had them before. every time i went over i had to cook them for breakfast complete with marmite toast.

No I did not, I stuck to Nudle, Milka, Barszcz (Czerwona), Chleb and assorted meats.

Aswell as eating out of course. :) Couldn't resist this....

I am seeing a gap in the market here!

First I sauté (plenty of) onion until slightly brown, then add sliced mushrooms (if available), leave frying until they're ready, add 2-3 eggs, fry for a moment and voilá. Usually I end up with scrambled :)

a healthy alternative to a after drink kebab. how to sell it though? poached egg in whole-meal pita bread.

indeed - I have shot myself in the foot mentioning it
on this forum


good idea, with sliced tomato maybe?

we may be on to something here lol

The patent office will be overwhelmed.
Try to remember to keep this discussion Poland related please folks! (I include myself in that)

it`s an egg-citing new concept in take away food, launched on the unsuspecting and untried market of poland

just got to come up with a catchy name!

If it was scrambled eggs you could brand it gegs (crossword buffs will get it). Now what's an anagram of poached?

The most common Polish egg dish I've seen would have to be hard-boiled. I've also had scrambled egg with bacon. I have not yet seen a Pole fry or poach an egg.

I tell a lie. My Polish flatmate used to have fried eggs nearly every day. Usually about three per meal. How could I forget?

It is totally unheard of here to have poached eggs. I remember making them for my ex, she was in total shock...

did she enjoy eating them?

I had poached eggs once in Warsaw. The chef had lived in London for three years before though. The che'f husband was as he had been married to the chef for a year and never seen them before. never had fried eggs there.

jajka sadzone? how can it be strange for a Pole... i make them very often...

I have lived a very sheltered life :)

Because



Strange to more than just a Pole, but to some Poles. You are an example of a Pole to whom it is not strange. Some more Poles may be like you in this regard. By the way, could I ask how you serve them? Any condiments or accompanying beverages?

I like poached eggs, but I've never actually done any for myself. Maybe tomorrow.

I heard this phrase earlier. not sure this is poached eggs. This is how you cook poached eggs...
Boil some water, lightly salted.
Crack some eggs into the lightly boiling water.
Remove the eggs after 3 minutes.

How about a dash, just a dash, of vinegar?

Yeah I was going to mention that, I once tried it with balsamic! bad move...

yup, not seen in poland for the most part.

yes, it's different... i gotta try it then...

other forms of poaching are prevalent?! I don't think people poach (cooking I mean) fish either?

I do like a dash of balsamic with fried eggs. It civilises them slightly.


What's your egg recipe?

How did I manage to post this with the word "nagrywałem" at the top?

yeah? i'm not big on poaching anything either so tell me more..

fish? never seen it any other way besides fried with the head and tail on. lol

Poaching is also hunting or fishing illegally. Or when someone is headhunted to work at a different company.


Smoked haddock is often poached in milk
