The humble egg is our breakfast for most days of the week. I like egg in any form except boiled egg. I actually love the taste of egg white, but I just cannot stand the taste of yolk. If I had to eat it slowly, tasting it, then I would most certainly puke. As a child, my breakfast to school, day in and day out was boiled egg with milk. I hated egg yolk and remember telling my mother that I can’t eat this thing. My mother would dismiss it as fussiness and would insist that I ate it.
I remember clearly that in those days, we were staying in Lucknow, and our house had an aangan (or an open courtyard) before the main house entrance, and we lived on the first floor. There was a ledge-like area in that aangan, and I got into the habit of dumping the yolk stealthily on the ledge every single day. Thus I took care of this problem, till my dad happened to chance upon a bulk of rotting egg yolks. And, it was clear who was responsible for it. I still remember the firing I got from dad that day. From that day on, mum made sure that I ate my egg in front of her. And, I had to pinch my nose and take water to wash down that hated thing.
Since then, I have really disliked egg. Now, luckily, I don’t have to eat the egg yolk. I just pass it on to my husband 🙂 (who loves boiled eggs) or my kids.Â
I have seen that sometimes, in their urge to make you like a certain food, parents force it upon you, thereby, cementing your dislike forever for that food.
Luckily for you, u love the healthiest part of the egg. You are not going to miss much, by abandoning the yolk.
I love the yolk, but, since I came to know that 17 calories of an egg white, has the most protein in an egg. The yolk is mostly saturated fat. I’ve been removing it to make something egg for myself.
hey buddy…what can i comment when i dunno abt this.hehe..take care friend..cheers
@Gayatri Yes didi. I am aware of that, and lucky that it is this way :). But, you know what! We met this cardiologist during one of the routine health checks, and he says he takes this cholesterol increasing bit of an egg with a pinch of salt. According to him, the cholesterol in the egg is not really bad for you. He is of the opinion that must judge by one’s individual health record whether consumption of whole eggs is actually raising the Lipid levels.
@Ramesh Well, there is nothing to know :). I just shared an experience.
well i don’t know about eggs but attitude yes, force achieves the opposite result

Do you like Bombay toast?
You do give it to me but you’d rather have me not eating my yolk too, right? 🙂
@wise donkey Yes, I believe so too.
@Agnes What really is Bombay toast?
@GP Of course, who knows me better than you. I am always reluctant to pass off the extra dose of cholesterol to you :). But, at least, I don’t have to throw the yolk in the bin anymore.
A smile appeared when I ead Gayathri’s comment..
You pass the deadliest part of an egg to your husband!!!haha
Strangely the things I hated in my childhood I love them today!!
@Jon Very cheeky, indeed 🙂 Btw, Gayatri is my sister-in-law (husband’s elder sis) and GP my husband. In all fairness, he gets it very rarely, as you can see from his comment :).
Please avoid giving yoke to your husband.Egg yellow is not good and has very high cholesterol.
🙂
@BK Chowla Don’t worry, I do it very rarely.
@Ramesh 🙂
Me too… I hated the york as a kid, in fact used to throw up on eating it. Now, its better, but I do not enjoy eating the yellow as much as the white.
My first time here… and a great blog!
@Aathira Thanks for visiting my blog and for your sweet comment. Me too, give me the egg white any day.
