LOW FAT? God, or someone forbid!

Cloud · 12-28-2007, 07:12 PM

and today I learned that yes, it's possible to OD on EB.

Aliantha · 12-28-2007, 08:51 PM

low fat eggs are good for EB considering the richness of the sauce in my opinion. I think I'd be sick if I had eggs cooked with butter.

busterb · 12-28-2007, 10:01 PM

Was going to ask what EB was, but

it hit me.

Cloud · 12-28-2007, 10:03 PM

sorry about that. Hope the Hollaindaise wasn't too hard to wipe off.

I've also found reason to believe in the spoonful of vinegar trick for keeping the whites well consolidated. Some don't credit it, but acidulating the poaching water shows me a tidier poached egg.

The cuppy thing or related methods seem to sometimes be called "coddled eggs." The usual coddled-egg classic thing seems to be opening the shell carefully at the top, adding a little butter, and simmering the whole works like that, using the shell as a sort of cup.

Ah, different doughs for muffin and crumpet? Do you happen to have any links handy?

Maybe a P.G. Wodehouseish Eggs B. might have been more instantly clear. One could go astray thinking "E.B. White"...

An English Muffin Recipe

A Crumpet Recipe

Aliantha · 12-30-2007, 06:36 PM

English Muffin - served open or as a type of sandwich. Popularized by McDonalds.

Crumpet - usually served open wth butter and some kind of topping. I prefer golden syrup or treacle. Sometimes a nice strawberry jam.

Hey--I object (mildly) to your assertion that McDonald's popularized the English Muffin.

Come on--they've been around forever; far longer than the Eggs McMuffin. They were served in my house for as long as I can remember, even without the Eggs Benedict.

Aliantha · 12-30-2007, 06:54 PM

yes I know they've been around for a lot longer than that, but some people don't buy them and prepare them themselves. Some people think they're unique to McDonalds. Some people live with their heads in boxes.

Anyway, I was simply showing a picture which happens to look like a bacon and egg mcmuffin. Trying to clarify my point about texture differences between crumpets and muffins.

Sorry to bother you. I'll piss off out of your thread.

Hooroo

Cloud · 12-30-2007, 08:10 PM

you're not bothering me, so please don't piss off.

DucksNuts · 12-31-2007, 04:59 AM

Crumpets with Vegemite n cheese..yummo!!

Urbane Guerrilla · 01-01-2008, 02:37 AM

They would have been "popularized by McDonalds" where Aliantha and Ducks live, as the English Muffin is an American recipe that is known to have quite surprised Englishmen encountering it at breakfast their first full day in the States. Awakened them rather fully, I gather.

Happy New Year over there, Ali'n'Ducksie! I'm probably the last one today to wish it.

DucksNuts · 01-01-2008, 03:02 AM

Happy New Year to you too UG

I suspect bb means this type of thing rather than coddled. Often known as poached eggs, but technically more steamed than poached maybe?
