Why Scrambled Eggs?

Speaking of chicken eggs, how would you like your eggs done? Baked, soft boiled, hard boiled, poached, soft scrambled, hard scrambled, sunny side up, over easy, over medium, over hard, omelette, steamed, etc?

Why do you prefer your eggs to be, say, scrambled and make it soft scrambled at that? Perhaps it is due to nature. Your DNA dictates that your egg-style is soft scrambled. If this be true, then it would be an easy-peasy choice by default and and there is nothing mysterious as to why you are like that. 

Stretching this train of thought a little, did your inclination for soft scrambled change with age or when other biological changes takes place inside you? Please feel free to comment and share your experiences here.

Alternatively, perhaps your choice of eggs is a matter of nurture whereby you acquire the taste for a certain kinda egg-style. This would be true when you started off liking, say, soft scrambled before moving on to soft boiled. Make that ajitama (seasoned soft boiled eggs), which is the most quintessential topping for ramen. 

Possibly, you may have no preference at all. You could well find yourself liking eggs in all its variant cooking-style -- you eat whatever is placed on your plate. "Just feed me!"

Or, you may simply loathe the aforementioned eggs and could be absolved from whether eggs are healthy or unhealthy for your age, your blood type, so on and so forth. 

However, you simply love egg tarts! Now, then please explain yourself!!

Apparently, there may be some correlation between your egg-likes to your personality although it is still moot as to whether you-are-what-you-eat as opposed to you-eat-what-you-are.

In "What Your Egg Style Says About Your Personality" written by Elyse Wanshel, it is observed that, "Scrambled egg aficionados are guarded, according to the study. Yet, though they like their eggs a little chaotic, their life is very much together. Those who tend to eat scrambled eggs have managerial or senior-level jobs and usually own their own home. They’re also loyal friends to the end! They may be conservative, but are always friendly and inclusive of others." 

Over at "The Egg Personality Test: What Your Style of Egg Says About You" written by Ariel Knutson, if you are a soft scrambler, "You take some time to warm up to. At first you don't seem very approachable, but as people get to know you they fall in love. You are a hard worker, but always elegant at whatever you do."

The results of such study done on egg vis-a-vis personality is best taken with a pinch of pepper while enjoying your eggs. If you don't like what you read, get a second opinion elsewhere if you can find it. Or, just laugh it off. 

On a more adventurous note, if you like what you have read of those, you know, other eggers, then why not try their eggs and see if your life would change towards theirs. You are not being egged on here as it could not possibly be such a bad thing to make a change. 

Sous vide eggs, anyone? Say what?! As gleaned from Wikipedia, sous vide (French for "under vacuum") is "a method of cooking in which food is vacuum-sealed in a plastic pouch and then placed in a water bath or steam environment for longer than normal cooking times at an accurately regulated temperature much lower than normally used for cooking (typically around 55 to 60 °C (131 to 140 °F) for meat, higher for vegetables). The intent is to cook the item evenly, ensuring that the inside is properly cooked without overcooking the outside, and to retain moisture."

Here then is Daily Refreshing's tongue-in-cheek take on sous vide egger's personality, "You are a promoter of the avant garde with a refined taste for food and fashion. Your attention to details is bordering on obsession and you fluster over things when they are not up to your expectation. But, you are still likable as you have a generous spirit and closes the curtain to your drama once you had given a piece of your mind."

Have an egg-citing and refreshing day ahead, and keep your eyes peeled for new egg-ventures stemming from the ingenuity of our fellow sojourners on this earth.
