Not sure I'd like something cartilaginous in my eggs....seems more like survival food.
I have eaten scrambled eggs for decades. Lately I am more into fried eggs. I like to heat my 7" cast iron pan to just about 300F, add perhaps a teaspoon of butter then crack in a couple eggs and cover them and turn off the heat. I let them sit until the yolk just starts to thicken. Eat 'em with toast.
The whites stay tender with this method and I don't get the hard plasticky "flashing" or bottom you sometimes get at higher temps.
My favorite kitchen tool is my infrared thermometer They don't work on shiny or silver substances, though, unless you happen to know the emissivity and have one that can adjust for that.

Mind you, first time I admit to being a little tipsy, you might say
Shocking revelation ! Mr Weldon tipsy, I can't imagine that
Anyone here ever been taken to a restaurant and offered balut?
I was offered iguana soup yesterday (food market, held in à slaughterhouse of à small collage, every sunday after Church). Smelled really tasty, but more diplomatic to take THE beef soup (sopi) FCK IPADS, this thing stilldrives me nuts
That's cause you usually see me when I'm a full 3 sheets to the wind. I have an image problem you know, and that helps me loosen up.
Traveled down the road today for some real Pho. What are the little round gelatinous bits? Very nice broth, I prefer the big flat tripe but this was all good. I figure this plus boat noodles uses every possible part of a cow.
Them little morsels would be tendon. It's used in the broth making and as an Pho additive, as it has a good collagen count and is part of the rich and almost creamy affect you get from a well made broth.
That's what I thought, the owner sat down two tables over and had the same but poured the Siracha and then some evil looking pepper concoction on liberally.

Sopi mondongo? Nicely suggestive name, some Pho like stuff in there too. Didn't figure you for an iPad.

Ha ha - you need small fingers . . . and patience.
Funny how my windows machines (DT and laptop) and blindingly fast on the internet but the damn iPad thinks its on a slow boat to China.
Surface Pro here I come.
Didn't figure you for an iPad.
Neither did I (i don't do laptops and/or smartphones. There's à desktop present, but each time I'm here I have to spend half a day answering security questions because they detected I'm in à different location, so I just don't bother.) At 30C ambient, I prefer to type gibberish in steep wind instead of locked up with aircon.

It's Moon Cake season. The pretty one in the dress makes 'em better than anything I've had from a store. Those in the know are aware of the rather involved process, and are probably also aware of how disastrous they can be when things don't go right. Mmm...can't wait. One of those babies and I'll be full till dinner. (it's 10am here)

Tell me what you know about tripe.?Tendon and tripe are two of the 'always' for me.
I call it menudo.

Last time I was in Shanghai I brought back a large sampler for translation/taste, they put some funky stuff in them.
Will stick with Moon Pie.
In general I agree, golden syrup, lotus seed paste, and egg yolk has limited possibilities. Adding duck gizzards does not contribute much.
On day 1, she waits till the big galoot has gone to bed before adding those secret ingredients. My job on day 2 is to clean up after her. My job on day 4 (required two day resting period) is to tell her how good they are.they put some funky stuff in them.
I kinda like my part of the bargain.
