One of my favorite foods is eggs. Eggs are so versatile, scrambled, over easy, or hardboiled there are tons of ways of eating them. Eggs are a great recovery food after running. During my first Ultramarathon, one of the aid stations had deviled eggs, it quickly became my favorite aid station.
We usually keep some hardboiled eggs in the fridge. As I mentioned they are a great post-run snack and they are perfect for easy to prepare lunches.
But my hubby and I like our egg sandwiches prepared in very different ways.
The same four ingredients – 2 hardboiled eggs, 2 slices of toast, some mayonnaise and a dash of salt, look very different in his sliced egg sandwich and my mashed egg sandwich. It’s simply a matter of preference. I can’t stand losing slices of egg from my sandwich, he can’t stand the texture of the mashed eggs.
And then come the slicing debate.
At least it makes it easy to spot who’s ‘wich belongs to which person.

Although I like to be flexitarian I like to try foods. So here’s a list called the omnivore’s one hundred. I guess it’s a list of foods to try before you die. I’ve never heard of some of them. And I suppose I’ve eaten whole bugs before, not on purpose but swallowed them while running or biking. Gross I know.

Interesting! I’ve got a few on you, you’ve got a few on me. Why do you have PB&J both bolded and crossed out?
Sea urchin is *nasty* stuff, but I like tartare and love love love raw oysters.
I’ll have to add this to my blog later.
I HATE peanut butter and jelly. I can’t stand peanut butter or it’s smell. The only reason I’ve ever had PB&J is that it was forced on me as a child. I hated it then, and I wouldn’t even consider eating it now. So thus, I’ve tried it, but it was never something I would have considered eating.
That is a very varied list. Lots of things I’ve never even heard of.
Where are the bull fries/Rocky Mtn. Oysters though?
