Why do you Europeans like their scrambled eggs runny?

Anonymous
The entire continent likes their eggs runny. Every single person.

Gordon Ramsey’s runny scrambled eggs have been a meme for like 10 years. So vile.

French here. I like them “humide.” Not wet. The yolk bits must still have that glossy, barely coagulated look. Not runny. Not firm. In between.

I also noticed it in Singapore and Malaysia.

What's this about? Are Americans the only ones who cook their eggs to firm?


Stop staying in cheap hotels.

I’ve experienced this too. I just can’t with the runny scrambled eggs. I don’t like any kind of egg that has a runny yolk.

Slightly OT, but I also dislike places that milk milk into their scrambled eggs before cooking. They do it to economize, as milk is lower cost, but they allege it is to make the eggs fluffy.

I put milk in my eggs, and it’s not to economize. They do finish fluffier and I prefer the taste.

only place in europe that even traditionally eats scrambled eggs for breakfast is the UK, so the hotels are just doing their beast to cater to Americans. For an overall better dining experience and cultural submersion, don’t eat a hotels.

20 minutes?

Is she using a bic lighter as a heat source?


🤣 We don't have that kind of time in the US! We need to get eggs on the table so that we can go be energized cogs in the orphan crushing machine!

The Jacques Pépin omelette is finished in about 90 seconds. I prefer more al dente so my eggs are clocking around 70 seconds.

What is someone doing 20 minutes? PP said scrambled eggs but I think PPs mom is baking quiche.

Why are you comparing the time for an omelette with the time for scrambled eggs??
