Am I the only one grossed out by foodies and restaurants using runny egg yolks?

I grew up eating soft boiled eggs often on weekend mornings and mmmm mmmmm, love them. My dad would make them for my sisters and me. We called them, “juicy eggs.”

He would also make us sunny side up with yolk that would run out onto the toast once you pierced it with your fork. Mmmmm. That was amazing too.

You people do not know what you are missing!

I do not like dry yolk. Blegh.

I’m grossed out by runny egg yolks. I also need my scrambled eggs to be cooked hard.

I like my scrambled eggs soft and a bit wet. To accomplish this, I are sure to take the pan off the stovetop when even I still think they are a little underdone, keeping in mind the heat of the pan will keep cooking them even in the short time it takes me to swing the pan over towards the counter and slide the eggs onto my plate.

I do not like scrambled eggs in hotel buffets — always overdone and rubbery.

Ok, I’ll one up you OP. I don’t really like eggs yolks at all. I don’t like them runny and I don’t like them hard. The exception would be a hard fried egg as part of a sandwich. I do like scrambled eggs, quiche, frittatas, Spanish tortillas, and such though.

Anti-carbonara people are seriously disturbed.

A good burger does not need an oozing egg on top. It's totally unappealing. A good burger honestly doesn't need cheese or bacon either but I guess that's another topic...

I think runny yolks are disgusting. Yes, there is an uptick in them on SM …I think it started with the rise of ramen.

You're not the only one, I know many people who avoid runny yolks. I don't happen to be one of them, nor would I avoid a restaurant because of it. I might avoid a restaurant that didn't offer a choice though. Where are you going that doesn't accommodate your preference of soft, medium or hard poached?

From a culinary standpoint they have a lot of upside, more flavor, different texture and a runny yolk in a ramen, for example, changes the consistency of the ramen. It just makes everything richer and more unctuous. That's what egg yolks are used for in any kind of cooking.

I like a runny yolk, but like an over easy egg, rather than a sunny side up... I also like scrambled eggs that are not dried out, but my stomach turned a few posts back when someone was waxing poetic about "wet" scrambled eggs.

I like runny yolks. I loved wet scrambled eggs. I do not like salmonella. So I don't eat them anymore.

I thought this trend was over.

I hate runny eggs, jammy eggs, drippy eggs. Bleh.

Runny yolks are disgusting, eggs should be cooked. Would you eat a raw chicken?
