[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a food “influencer” (don’t love the term) and I think it’s totally fine however you like your eggs and cheese the way you do. And I’m intrigued but your comment, because I obviously never want to “gross anyone out” with what I post.

I like a soft-medium (aka runny) poached egg, but I also like scrambled. Can I assume that your aversion to a softer poach is that it may be undercooked that way?

As far as the cheese - gotta admit I’m
Scratching my head on this one. What is it about a cheese pull that doesn’t appeal? I can’t imagine it would be an undercooking issue here so I’m not sure what the aversion would be? [/quote]

Yolks and cheese are overdone, as in played out, its sloppy, its gluttonous, and its frankly gross to some people. I am one of those people. I like cheese and I will eat over easy and poached eggs, but the photos and clips of of oozing and squirting yolks on top of all sorts of random foods is gross. And loading things up with too much cheese just reeks of obesity epidemic and its low class, to me. [/quote]

Okay almond mom.  There is nothing gluttonous about eggs and cheese.  Both are perfect parts of a healthy diet.[/quote]

NP here. But the first PP has a point. Yes, eggs and cheese CAN be parts of a healthy diet. Both can also be overdone to the point of being too extra and gimmicky. Just like how bacon became a thing.  I’m sure there’s an over the top Carl’s Jr commercial out there with Paris Hilton dripping runny egg yolks, ketchup, and bacon fragments all over herself. Can’t we agree that that’s a bit tacky and gross without being called an “almond mom”?

You want us to agree that a non-existent commercial you invented featuring Paris Hilton covered in egg yolk means that putting eggs on food is "tacky and gross"?[/quote]
