Best post yet.

Is that your rebuttal to a very small typo? Because the entire world knows that English food is pretty much the most bland horrible food ever. Which becomes clear when you don't even understand sunny side up, over easy, medium and hard variations on how to fry an egg.

I suppose you don't have cooking temperatures on your steak either? You just order a steak and it shows up rare?

Fried is my first choice....

Outside of that I eat a lot of hard boiled eggs when i'm working out. Not a huge scrambled or poached fan myself.

always scrambled, with some shredded cheddar cheese mixed in - maybe some ham too.

Depends on my mood. But usually in this order:

Omelette with yummy stuff inside
Sunny side up
scrambled
soft-boiled
hard-boiled
poached

In England, adding onion makes highly spiced food :^D

Different circumstances call for different eggs.

Full breakfast - fried/over medium
Sandwich - scrambled, but cooked in an unbroken layer with onions and maybe brocolli
Fritata - when there's leftover pasta and other good stuff to throw in

I made Scotch eggs for the first time recently too. They were everything I had dreamed and more.

Almost all eggs are good but Poached are the tops. That said, fried are good if you've got ham or sausage for a sammich and scrambled are a great fallback. I use hard-boiled in salads.

Over Hard. The yolk should be completely cooked, but not rubbery. I don't like runny eggs.

I've had people I'm dining with look at me funny, but the wait staff always know what you want.

You just order a steak and it shows up rare?

Perfectly done egg, egg sandwich, sausage links. Delicious glass of milk to go with.

If you don't specify you'll get it medium rare in most places, as it should be.

But aside from that, I love English food, and so do americans. Like the whole roast on thanks giving... Where do you think that came from?

The roast came from a cow, clearly. ;)
