I’ve eaten, enjoyed and cooked eggs most of the ways listed on the poll, so I learned that the poll would only let me pick 3.

So, limiting myself to that few poll options?

I will say this: yes, I have had and enjoyed raw egg. I was 1 of 4 teenagers on a chaperoned trip (with an expat) in Hungary, and having goulash with virtually every meal. (I love Hungarian goulash!)

At one restaurant, there was a single egg on the waiter’s tray when he brought the food to our table. And right before serving me, he cracked the egg into my bowl. I looked at it as our chaperone said, “Oh my!” He’d never seen the like.

The soup was not hot enough to poach the egg.

I broke the yolk, and stirred the egg in…and it was one of the best versions of goulash I’ve EVER had. The broth had a silky texture and richness that were unique and unrivaled.

That said, I know raw eggs can be a disease vector, so I haven’t eaten many since. The only other exceptions have been in classic Caesar salads.

But you can get similar experiences with soft-boiled or poached eggs. I’ve frequently gotten poached eggs in things like udon soups. And a soft boiled egg on a salad can be transformative.
