There are threads about too many eggs ... what to do.

You could make/sell pickled eggs from them.

I could live on "French toast" (which might be called gypsy toast by some of the less PC posters).

Mushroom omelettes (I know I crossed a line there but it's a seriously good meal and I preferred it to steak in the casino I mentioned) with chips as an accompanying vegetable

Scrambled eggs on toast.

Fried egg in a Full English.

But one legacy of working with salmonella is all egg/poultry has to be cooked till they look like the contents of an ashtray.:cool:

I eat at least 20 eggs a week so if it's bad cholesterol I'm in trouble.

I eat 14 a week.....with a massive fry-up in the cafe

The breakfast is known as the ‘Mocha Special’ (Cafe Mocha)

I think we’re all screwed if fry-ups are bad for you :eek:

A gambler I chat to online, who lives in Nevada, says drinks are free in casinos as they don't want people to leave... and they love them to be drunk.

I've never been in a casino. They don't have any that I am aware of (probably in my whole county) where I live. I did live in a town 2-3 years ago where there was a casino, but nobody ever said "Hey, come to this casino thing" and it's not somewhere I'd have gone in alone to see what it was like.... clutching two £1 coins...

In Vegas most casinos will bring free drinks to your table, although of you don't tip $1-2 a drink at least the waitresses will stop asking you what you want. This only works when you are actually at the table gambling, not just walking around the casino.

When I was there with four mates we just played $10 minimum bet blackjack. Because blackjack is a 51/49 game if there are enough of you, you aren't going to lose much on average between all of you if you play by the "rules". So if you all agree to pool all winnings and losses you can basically sit there and get drunk for almost nothing. They close the tables and make you move after a bit but you can just go and do it in another hotel.

I had a very messy and troublesome night in there though when the waitress misunderstood my accent and brought me six "sky waters" in a row instead of the "iced water" I had asked for. By the time I realised I was drinking vodka and water it was too late, the rest is history and I lost a month's salary that night!

I eat mine 'rare'. Though there are times i go off eggs simy from too many. A poached egg, or boiled egg, with soft yolk is perfection.

I also make a lot of a souflee!


I have beautiful book called the delectable egg, with dozens and dozens of sauces for different styles of egg which makes eggs benefict seem positivelt plebian.

Dh l.ikea omlettes, so often has them for weekend lunch, bur i do not, or very rarely. I do like fritata with courgette and onion.

I cannot stand eggs with tomato usually. Makes me heave:o

You'd be surprised if you investigated. I was in a Scottish city not known as a gambling hotspot. I never realised it had a casino at all and it was hard to notice from the outside, but very plush on the inside. It's hard to explain how welcoming it was and how it tempted you feel not tempted to leave.

When I left it was a bit like that Indian restaurant that me and neverdespairgirl both like on the Strand, where you can't easliy see it or describe it from the outside.

Unlike the Indian restaurant and its curries I didn't find gambling addictive.:T

Well the fried ain't so great. Idry fry my eggs, not practical in a caff. Or poach them ( my favourite, so long as properly poached, not baked in a funny cup thing.) i grill fry ups. I think it tastes better that way too.

I know a "lucky bugg4h" online .... started a (gay pr0n) website aged 15/16 it became one of the world's most sought after ... so he tried to create that populairty with a few other domains and one he bought (for US$4k) was randomly bought from him for $200k when he was contacted (aged 17). Now, aged about 21/22 he's invested his cash into lots of shares and he bought a house for his mum ... but he had this urge to go to Las Vegas. So off he went .... and bl00dy won more than enough to cover his costs. Pure 100% jammy bugg4h.

He also keeps showing me how much his shares are now - along with a screenie of me telling him his shares would be worth half one year later.... they'd doubled... luckeeeee buggggaaaahhhh.

Almost always boiled for me, somewhere between soft and hard. On weekend mornings I get 2 extra whites as OH only eats the yolk. Very occasionally I will have a 'rare' omelette.
