i'm an egg snob

growing up i never ate eggs unless they were prepared sunny side up over some rice with soy sauce. i grew up not liking eggs for no apparent reason. if eggs were a part of my meal, i would usually get them scrambled and pawn them off to whoever i was eating with. in my head i just never really cared for them.

in the last few years, i realized that i actually like all kinds of eggs - sunny sided up, over easy, hard boiled - just not scrambled. and more recently, i had a epiphany that i just don't like eggs that are cooked after their whites and yellows have been mixed. it makes sense! no omelets, no scrambled eggs, no korean egg soufflé and even french toast. it just tastes different.

however, of course there are exceptions. these eggs don't make me gag or anything and i'd rather eat than starve so if someone makes me scrambled eggs or an omelet, i won't be rude and not eat them. also, breakfast burritos. i don't order them that often but the scrambled eggs don't overpower the meats and potatoes so i don't mind as much. plus, it's kinda weird saying, "one breakfast burrito, no egg".

does this make me an egg racist, not wanting to have my whites and yellows mixed and then cooked? do they really taste different? maybe i had a traumatic experience with scrambled eggs as a kid and somehow now subconsciously hate the egg being mixed. i don't know. i realize that this is extremely shocking news to a lot of people, i've actually found it to be quite a disappointment to some. who knows, things might change in the future but for whatever reason, it's strange but true.
