Emagggie, a goose egg's for you then - there's virtually no white in there. Probably very risky because you're not supposed to wash them first. But hey, keeps the antibodies up eh? ;D

Geoff.

I usually go for somewhere between Tim's two pictures. I can't stand runny yolk! Usually cook em for 7-8 minutes from boiling  :)

My yolk's moist, not runny!!

A true hard 'cooked', not 'boiled', 7min egg.

hard cooked? boiled?? does no-one else ever 'coddle' eggs, these days?

Am I the lone voice in the wilderness? :'( ;)

Of course not!

But 'coddling', surely, is just slow cooking?. At a bare simmer? Like hard 'cooking' at 80-85C.

These days, some people haven't the time to bother?

always  have coddled eggs at least once a week-preferably coddled duck-
and any egg so long as its organic and free range.


emaggie-you dont know what you're missing!

actually..i think i'm missing our bantys..hmm...do i want hens again?
;D

Oh I dooooooooooo :-X
I was fine till I was pregnant with child no.2 Eggs any way you like, but I haven't been able to face a white since.(she never has either, oddly enough).
Sad ain't it. :'(

there ye go!
case proved-its the second one wot did it for you!
i,on the other hand,have had but one sproggington ,found out what caused it and stopped immediately!
therefore-i still have the taste for the egg!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Much mirth here, Kitty.   ;D ;D ;D ;

oooo, poached goose eggs are a sunday morning brekky for my darling Ava, and daughter number one, HIGHLY allergic to egg, even the scent starts a reaction, risks it all just to break the yolk for daddy.

Ducks eggs are devine - we pick goose and ducky eggs up at the farm shop, sometimes as they are coming in, still warm!!

I likes them raw, or like rubber!  I likes eggs.  ;D

This reminds me very much of my first foray into brassicas.  I must have been about 9 or 10, and tried to grow cabbages. They all refused to heart up and in the end I was persuaded to get rid of them in the direction of one of Mum's work colleagues, who kept geese.

I got a huge goose egg back, labelled 'With love from Pickle the Goose'   ;D ;D ;D ;D

It got turned into an omelette as neither parent knew how long to boil it!!!
