People who don’t like food and who have terrible palates often like completely cooked through eggs and can only handle scrambled. Or like their steaks cooked medium to well.

I like runny yolks and medium rare steak but I don’t understand the impulse to insult people who like something different. It’s not a moral failing. That said, OP, it’s pretty ridiculous not to go to a restaurant you otherwise like because they serve some things you don’t like. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. That’s ok, though, restaurants are too crowded these days so I’m happy for people to stay home, regardless of the rationale.

It's one restaurant because they keep posting clips to instagram with oozing yolks on a bunch of food items. It's totally unnecessary.

Not if you’re advertising/marketing to clientele who enjoy oozy yolks and delicious food.

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?

I wouldn't avoid a restaurant because of them.

Claims to not like runny egg yolks while simultaneously stating they like poached eggs. Wth?

5 - 6 minutes gives a nice tender nonrunny poached egg. I don't care what Julia Child or anyone else says. OP likes poached as well, guessing she makes them the same way as me. I can't believe how stuck up people are about how others should eat.

I don't mind slightly runny poached eggs. It's a breakfast item. I'm just grossed out by runny egg yolks oozing all over lunch and dinner items. It's totally unappealing. Same for all the food content on twitter with oozing and stretchy melted cheese on every item. It looks disgusting.

A very large percentage of Americans think runny eggs yolks are gross.

+1

If someone in my vicinity is eating them, I have to avert my eyes so as not to gag.

Amen.

The Runny yolk is what makes the egg delicious

The rice is hot enough to cook the egg. Or st least, that's the idea.

np, I guess this is like the raw egg in carbonara? The idea of that always sounds risky. My mom used to dump warm scrambled eggs back into the bowl she mixed the raw eggs in. It grossed me out as a kid. She insisted it was fine. That might be why I avoid runny/raw eggs. I'm with you op.

No, the rice is definitely not hot enough to cook the eggs all the way through in Japan. They prefer to have raw egg only slightly cooked in the rice and the egg yolk wet all over the rice so it isn't dry, and due to the flavor. In other styles of Japanese food, you take a piece of beef and dip it in raw egg before eating it.

Almost no one ever gets sick in Japan eating raw eggs. Consumption of very running/raw eggs is huge there.

(literally watch starting around 18:00 - the eggs are absolutely not cooked)

Then you’re not making a poached egg. You’ve made a hardboiled egg outside of a shell.

“Broken into the water at the poaching temperature, the white will cling to the yolk, resulting in cooked egg white and runny yolk.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poached_egg

Poaching is a cooking technique, or specific to eggs. It means to cook in barely simmering liquid.

Yes, “poaching” is a cooking technique. But a “poached egg” has a specific meaning which includes a running yolk.

Poaching a chicken is just boiling a chicken. Poaching an egg means cooking in water so the white is cooked and the yolk is runny.

I don't know what OP is talking about. If she doesn't like runny yolks, then she doesn't like poached eggs.

Uh, no - you don’t let the liquid boil when you poach something - egg, chicken, or salmon. You keep the liquid below the boiling point and it keeps the proteins tender. That is what poaching IS. You can think OP is ruining her poached eggs, but she has still poached them.

No the real trick is that Japan vaccinated thru chickens for Salmonella

Not necessarily. I’ve also been served a raw egg to crack into a bowl, beat up with sauce and eat cold in Japan. It was delicious, got what it’s worth. I knew people in the US distrusted raw white but had no idea liquid yolks were also disliked by a subset of people. Live and learn I guess. I like eggs and fish any way, including raw but mostly prefer my meat cooked so no judgment on people’s preferences. Eat what you like!
