How Do You Like Your Eggs?
Wow, yesterday I introduced you to the Six Degrees of Steak Doneness, and now I bring you this, The Egg Chart! The next time you're sitting at your local Denny's or Ihop, make sure the waiter understands how you like your eggs. And if he still doesn't get it, print this out, take it with you, and pull out your huevos! I'm sure he'll understand then. Hopefully he's a hottie. :-).
And if you wish to see the degrees of doneness for your eggs, I found this useful guide online as well.

Thank you my love but this still doesn't help with the traditional names for the different ways to cook an egg. With the beef chart I now know to ask for medium well done, but I still don't know what the weird term Chef Ramsey uses for a cooked egg on Hell's Kitchen is. Now I'll never know.
:(
Wait, let's Wiki it!
Okay, so the Wiki says that the weird ways to "commonly" cook an egg are: Basted Eggs, Coddled egg, Poached egg, and Shirred egg as well as others. It doesn't give much info on what an Basted egg is except for basting it on meat. Coddled and Poached both look like different degrees and ways of making your sunny side up version or "juevos" as said in Tequila Patio. Shirred is "baked" in french so you just bake the egg. Thankfully I'm not a professional cook so I don't have to remember any of this. Plus I love my scrambled eggs and that's not changing anytime soon.
Hopefully this info helps so I feel better about wasting 10 precious minutes of my life studying eggs. Love you bunches.
