This is not a poached egg see pic

[Easygoing24]

DS took me to a posh cafe today i know I'm being petty but it pissed me of.

A cafe with no mushrooms. I love mushrooms wtf. I got a so called poached egg I love them to. The only thing that was ok was the toast and even that they didn't cut it. I couldn't complain because DS would get embarrassed. So I just have to moan here 🤣

Here is a picture of my poached egg thats not a poached egg.

How disappointing

Oh it looks like it bounced out the door I bet it's microwaved in a mould!

Well.... that is a bit shit isn't it, moan away.

It's not a boiled egg. It's not a fried egg. It's defo not a scrambled egg or an omelette.
It looks like a poached egg to me OP.

Looks more like a coddled egg

Or is it mold? Anyway that's a microwaved boiled egg!

Well it's been poached, but for too long!
I'd have sent it back

And as for no mushrooms 😱

It looks like it's been poached in one of those silicon moulds but for far too long. So technically could be a poached egg, but not the way you would like it. I wouldn't be happy.
Mushrooms are foul though, they saved you from yourself there.

It’s a coddled egg but it looks lousy. Shame. You should’ve sent it back, embarrassment be damned.

Are those made in ramekins in water ?

poached in a silicon mold but done too long.

Yes.

It is poached but it’s either pre-bought or been in a silicone thing for too long!

Ugh I hate when this happens, you are right to be disappointed!

I'd have sent that back. The whole point of a poached egg is for the lovely runny yolk.

I think so to. Ds will have to come to non posh cafe if he wants breakfast out again 🤣

Thats been baked in the oven, the white must have been very rubbery. Poached eggs are so simple, I don’t know why so many places fall in the trap of stupid contraptions to make a pretend poached egg.

In ramekins with butter in the oven, I think?

Either way, OP, you’re right. That’s a ping pong ball, not a poached egg. The yolk should ooze out when you cut into it.

Is that all you got? A single egg on a plate?

I think that's a pre-packed poached egg a la catering supplies

That's definitely not a poached egg, not even a coddled egg. It's a microwaved until it resembles a bouncy ball egg. Grim

I'd be sending it back and educating my son on what a decent cafe looks like.

I know only thing I eat in cafe for breakfast is toast, poached egg and mushrooms and I ended up with just toast 😭

How much did that inedible treat cost you?

It's an overdone coddled egg not poached.

Best poached eggs I ever had were made by me mum.

In a big pan with little dishes designed for poaching. Beautiful.

Just like the one in the image.

You should have sent it back.

These days I'm done with paying a fortune for shite - back it goes, politely, till they get it right.
