I'll eat pretty much anything.

I couldn't manage to eat muskrat. Made my gorge rise.

There must have been other things in my adult life that I couldn't or wouldn't eat but I don't recall them. I've eaten a Big Mac.

In terms of food, I'm not picky,

Nutrax, haven't you said that you don't eat eggs?

Pink steak is overdone in my opinion. I like it rare or medium rare, depending on the cut. Rib-eye would be medium rare, point and bavette rare. The authorities have decided that restaurants can't serve rare burgers anymore so I no longer order them.

I've seen it on menus in Belgium.

I despise runny egg yolks. I cannot even make an effort to be polite. But otherwise, I'm happy to eat eggs.

There was an attempt to do that here in California. The legislature also banned anything that used raw eggs, about 12 years ago. That took care of Caesar Salad & Steak Tartare, as well as house-made mayo, unless they use pasteurized eggs. The law was amended with a compromise. You can serve less than fully cooked eggs if the customer requests them or if you print a warning on the menu. Hamburgers & such can be less than well-done if the customer requests. (But the restaurant isn't required to took burgers to order if they prefer not to.)

I was looking up some restaurant in another state that serves "the world's largest hamburger." They also serve steaks. The menu said something like "All steaks served medium, medium well, or well done. Don't even ask for rare or medium rare."

I'll eat anything that doesn't smell bad. I'm not fond of hot chiles, but I'll eat a hot dish if I have a glass of milk. Do you know that milk washes away the capsaicin burn?

I'd better add some caveats on the eggs. I've tried 1000-year old eggs a couple of times. Thank you, I'll pass on them in future. I'll also pass on a repeat of salted duck eggs. Not super fond of picked bar eggs, but I'd eat one if I were hungry. I didn't care much for the scrambled ostrich eggs I ate in Madagascar. I did refuse to try sea turtle eggs, on endangered species grounds.

But, certainly, no sunny side up, over easy, soft boiled, or poached eggs, please.

I had quail's eggs shooters once. They tasted like the chef had waved them in the general direction of a pan of boiling water, opened them up and topped them with crumbs of crispy bacon. I don't think you would have liked hem, Nutrax.

Oh my. I forgot the prairie oyster, which is NOT the same thing as a Rocky Mountain Oyster.

You'll love yoghurt, rolly.

I like a raw egg on my steak tartar. I also like my fried eggs runny. I hate fried eggs that are overcooked. Other than that I like my egg cooked.
