Don't assume a poached egg ordered in a restaurant definitely entered the kitchen in a shell... https://www.brake.co.uk/products/dai...-poached-eggs/

In the US I often see the worst attempt of scrambled eggs, it looks like rubber, tastes like rubber - if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck.....? Even when coated in cheese, salsa and hot sauce, it still tastes rank.
The few times I have been in there for breakfast, I ordered the California Benedict and was very happy.

A chef once told me it wasn't possible to serve scrambled eggs in a buffet.
Scrambled eggs are to be made fresh, and can't be kept warm just like that. Otherwise you just get a glorified omelette.
On the other hand, the egg and cheese sandwiches taste alright!

Different strokes for different folks.....
I had scrambled eggs and salmon from the GF menu on Wed morning and thought it was very good, not sure if it is anything different from the buffet
scrambled eggs it was certainly not pale, grey or rubbery. Also on the way back on Thu night had the curry from the GF menu and thought it was
one of the tastiest things I've ever had in a BA lounge.

Is nothing sacred?! I thought poached eggs were more or less safe…

Best recipe for scrambled eggs was by Ian Fleming a la James Bond
And whisk them up with your spatula while they're on the heat.

I've always found the scrambled eggs at Giraffe in T5 pretty good. Never tried them in the BA lounges.
When I stay in hotels I always order poached eggs rather than eating scrambled eggs off the buffet, essentially because I think that this significantly narrows the likelihood of the recipe containing anything other than an egg!

The liquid egg products I have seen only contain eggs, which have been filtered and pasteurised, so no nasties. Given the choice, I'd still prefer fresh eggs, but to be honest I doubt I would be able to tell the difference in omelettes, scrambled eggs, quiches etc.
) are not sold in stores that cater for the public, but distributed by whole-sale firms to restaurants/hotels etc. The public awareness of certain additives would propably pose some difficulties in selling this much cheaper (in all aspects) product on the open market

What's this latest fad... egg whites? I can understand people not wanting to eat the yokes for some medical reason but I can't imagine for the life of me why people would do it voluntarily without a medical reason. Do they taste nice? I am foxed.

Otherwise, one might find that it's one small egg for man, a giant frittata for mankind.
This post has been scrambled together at the last minute before breakfast.

err, never season the eggs at the start of cooking. Wait till they're scrambling...
And whisk them up with your spatula while they're on the heat.
