depends really

american is good for breakfast burritos

>>5503877
Very true

>>5503874
whats the english difference?

I prefer american. I do make the french way sometimes but i over cook it so its more solid

>>5503884
Cooking method and texture

>>5503884
they add tea and serve it on beans

>>5503884

english version is sort of a middle ground between french and american. made quickly, smallish curds.

1. Poached
2. Sunny side Up
3. Omelet
4. Deviled
5. Creamed

>>5503874
I'm English and only ever made it the English way, didn't even know there were cultural variations but I'll probably stick with the English one. The French way looks like runny shit and the American way looks too thick and plasticy.

>>5503874
soft-boiled with a touch of salt. anything else is just violating the perfection which is the egg

>>5503874
over easy, I was a short-order cook and I used to cook them on the grille for Crazy Ted "Runny Yellow, Runny Yellow" he loved my eggs,

>>5503895
So like you're making an omelet but forgot to stop stirring?

I do all of them depending on what I serve them with
french is good when served with smoked salmon
I like english paired with bacon, baked beans, breakfast stuff in genral
and american is not that different from english as far as I can see, I like it when I put the scrambeled eggs inside something else like he >>5503877 said

>>5503874
Can someone actually explain the difference? Cause the outside two look like eggs, but the middle one looks like creamed corn.

>>5503874
What's the middle (french) style? that looks really good.

>>5506835
Thanks! Those all look fucking delicious. I didn't even realise I grew up with way-overcooked eggs, but I gotta try this now.

>>5506835
OK, I get it now. English and American are pretty standard.

French is lumpy hollandaise sauce.

>>5506877

not a bad way of looking at it.

you can do it even smoother than that though. the thing is the yolk and the white set at different temperatures so it's difficult to make something as smooth as a 'custard' with nothing but beaten egg, but it is possible.

>>5503874
really depends on the application.
french style is great when used as a filling in toasted brioche or puff pastry
English is great for eating on toast, or on a standard breakfast plate
American is best for things like breakfast tacos/burritos, or also on their own.

American is same as English but it has high-fructose corn syrup added.

Over easy with salt and a proper hot sauce added after the flip. Served on toast. For 20 + years, my go-to after drinking.

Cheap, tasty, and decreases hangover severity the next day.

>>5503874

French eggs.
look like cat puke.
taste so amazing
Girlfriend is pregnant and afraid to eat them... says it can hurt the baby is this true?

>>5507384
eggs should be pasteurized, I don't see how.

>>5507384
>girlfriend

Yo nigga, you with a dumbass chick.

Scrambled. Easiest way to cook them and know they're not under/overcooked, unlike, Idunno, soft-boiling them or some nonsense.

I made American most of my life but once I discovered French, I never looked back.

>>5507384

the risk is low but just let her take all the precautions she wants, she's incubatin

>>5506835
I've bee eating well-cooked English style eggs all this time? heh.

I prefer my eggs scrambled with french fries. GOAT food.

>>5507384
I wouldn't expect someone who was defeated by birth control to understand that they're now "raw".

>>5507639
*Not

>>5507384
Pregnant? Her immune system is a tank. We have warning labels and precautions as a result of perpetuating our species, but the biological defenses are insane in pregnant women.

I'm guessing you're a United States citizen, as I don't think any other country has such a fear of eggs.

She could drink a dozen raw eggs every morning, the only result may be a baby that can bench 250... or a giant pool of protein rich vomit.

English, preferably cooked fairly dry.

>>5507661
We dont innoculate our chickens in the us against salmonella like the rest of the world. We tried to get farmers to spend the 6 cents per bird to do it but they cried "muh freedoms" and the fda/usda backed off and just asked them nicely to start washing them.

So our eggs in the us are washed in dirty chicken crap water baths that are riddled with salmonella.

What you are proposing is 100% safe in the majority of the civilized world, but in the us "muh freedoms" means thousands of small kids per year will get sick and die of salmonella poisoning.

Oddly enough, it is highly illegal to sell unpastuerized milk though.

We r the fuck ups of the world.

If the girl dont want eggs while preggers, she and the babe wil be fine without.

>>5507677
>Oddly enough, it is highly illegal to sell unpastuerized milk though.
That's because it would be giving business to small individual farms instead of the large dairy conglomerates.

>>5507677
Where I live, they have what they call "urban chicken project". People in cities here commonly keep domestic chickens for eggs and meat.
Eggs are not hard to find, and 9 times out of 10, you have to wash them yourself. No inoculations, but perhaps freshness, and lack of handling play a large part.

Either way, I wish the US general populace could get into a good runny egg. Maybe they'd shoot less brown people or something.

English style. I've recently discovered the flavorful masterpiece that is a gently cooked egg compared to the rubbery American egg.
If toast weren't so shit here, I'd go full french and eat them on top, but we the people in order to form a more perfect union decided that toast should be wafer thin.

>>5504040
I long for that thick toast.

>>5507704
um...why don't you buy/make a full loaf so you can cut them at whatever thickness you want... that's a really weird constraint to have.

French.

>can't have my damn eggs without someone giving the stink eye.

I've lived in the US my entire life, and I still don't understand why so many people here have such a definitive definition of cooked.

>>5504040

i'd eat a rubbery american egg before that rubbery bacon... makes me gag just looking at it.

you gotta crisp that shit. you gotta crisp that shit.

Going outside just the scrambled's in the OP, I'd generally say:

1.Poached
2.Soft Boiled
3:Hard Boiled
4:Fried

>>5507761
speaking of rubbery egg

I once had the idea to cook scrambled eggs with flour, sugar, and milk added in. No salt.

was not a nice morning.

>>5503874
American. French doesn't look too good.

I don't frequent /ck/ too often but please someone explain the difference in preparation between the three, thanks.

Youtube is for normies who don't care that Google disrespects its users privacy.

>>5507857

fuck off.

>>5507858
Take it back to reddit.

>>5507861

take what back to reddit?

>>5507797
Isn't that just breadless French toast?

>>5506835
I want to like him; but i just can't.
He annoys me so much. I can't even pin point what it is.

Those other british guys are much more interesting

>>5506835
>french scrambled eggs
>butter, not cream
He deserves death by guillotine for that, there was nothing french about it.
Especially the part where french don't use toast at all.

>>5507865
Yourself

>>5509100

butter and cream are both common in french scrambled eggs. and i don't think jamie was focussing on what the eggs are eaten *with*.

>>5507956
It's probably the waving his hands about in front of the camera and trying to sound casual, it's just embarrassing.

>>5503874
French. when I really want to have eggs as part of a nice breakfast.

other wise I just make quick omelettes.
