hey Lindsay how are you awesome Michelle how's everything going I don't know about you but I'm
craving eggs right now you are Lindsay how do you like your oh my gosh I like my eggs nice and runny
yeah yeah a lot of people don't like runny eggs they like scrambled eggs but I like my
eggs obviously if it's gonna be runny like it has to be hot like it can't be
cool runny right like a little bit of runniness is great yes yeah I agree I I like that as well
um do so we were just talking before we started the episode guys so Lindsay you said you eat
eggs mostly on the weekends right yeah I like to order my favorite way to order eggs is definitely
um through like a a sandwich like uh when I was on the East Coast it was often a bagel egg and
cheese sandwich I can't find that as much out here actually out here you find oh yeah I know
you find more breakfast burritos yeah it's hard to find a bagel egg and cheese sandwich but that
is my favorite or any kind of bread like a um like a nice uh sourdough sourdough is good so
good yes sour what about you how do you like to take your eggs um I usually have them like yeah
over over easy or you know like a fried egg basically but also kind of runny I like that
um but I usually have them in the morning with a wrap and a little bit of fruit and some nuts
and oh nice high protein balanced yeah high protein I bet some of our listeners are eating
eggs right now because I know some of you guys like to listen to all ears English when you eat
breakfast so enjoy your eggs and while you're at it hit follow on this podcast right Michelle
please do while you're at it if you haven't hit follow on the podcast yet please do so because
guys you can miss out if you are not following us yeah you wanted to sell no you don't want to
miss out you want to hang out with Lindsay and Michelle four days a week aubry's on here too a
few times a week so we're all here having a great time if you love to consume podcasts on YouTube
you have a great opportunity to check out this episode and other ones on YouTube so go over to
YouTube type in all ears English and this episode will be there all right I love it so guys if you
couldn't guess today we're talking about eggs so since they are such a breakfast staple it's good
to know how to order them just the way you like them right Lindsay yeah I mean this shows I guess
sometimes you might have a business breakfast but it's more rare you know breakfast is more for you
and a partner or you and a friend but it's nice to be able to order things as you like it right
this is the sign of being comfortable in a new country or on a business trip or a travel like
a tourism trip being comfortable with you know ordering things as you like them not as not as
the not in the easiest way right right right right right that's true you want to be able
to get what you actually want so we want to give you the language to say that because eggs are very
versatile there's yeah there's a lot of difference tons of different ways you can order eggs and guys
there were even some that I didn't include in this because there were just too many too
many a ton and that makes me want Wonder actually for our listeners are there just as many ways in
their languages I guess so right or maybe if eggs aren't commonly eaten in different cultures there
wouldn't be a lot of different ways but a lot of cultures consume eggs they're cheap they're high
protein and they're somewhat they're healthy they're organic you know they're healthy so
yay eggs yay eggs just realized I had another microphone sneaking into my view Michelle you
have microphones coming out of the woodwork what's going on I don't know how long it's been there
but I think I think I should swung in sorry she takes her job very seriously that microphone's
everywhere yes um okay so here we go so guys we also have other episodes about food there are
even more than this but what I wanted to choose a couple so number 1403 was grab a slice and
learn Pizza vocabulary in the U.S pizza yeah and I remember when we did that one and we talked about
you know in New York City you know people grab a slice and they get the huge pizza and fold it over
and walk walk home walk to the subway it's a very New York experience right Michelle absolutely yeah
okay so awesome and what was the other episode that we had okay that was 706 what do typical
Americans eat at home so go check out that episode to find out the answer love it okay so let's let's
get cracking let's get oh my gosh Michelle did you plan that pun I didn't I didn't good you're
good with puns you're really good I gotta be honest I would never have thought of that it's
so good what guys just to explain the joke let's get cracking is something that you can say to like
say let's get started but then there's also to crack an egg crack an egg so good well it made
me laugh so that's all that matters right yeah yeah what can I tell you um so all right here we
go so first one scrambled what are scrambled eggs Lindsay well in my mind this is kind of the most
standard way that people take their eggs right so it's everything's all mixed up in there in
the pan right very common at oh yeah Hotel buffets with varying levels of kind of like wetness and
dryness it just it depends right it depends on where you're eating watery yeah or with cheese
lots of cheese oh I like that I will have to say I I love cheese and eggs together yeah me too me
too hard-boiled egg next one little bags so that's when you boil them and then you take the shell off
so they're just it's kind of a whole egg but I so I love hard-boiled eggs actually but I don't have
them very often because they're not that easy to make and when I do have them I usually only
eat the whites I don't really like the like you don't like the yolk of an egg I do like
I find the whole egg white thing other than I get what you're what you mean about it is kind
of dry you get a pass for that but the whole egg white thing no I just can't do it when it goes
I need the yolk especially when you know when the eggs are scrambled or other ways I just get
bored with just egg whites alone I know it's healthier but I can't do it I can't do it no
it's really just for that context every once in a while if I'm getting an omelette I'll say oh and
a white omelette but like very rarely rarely yeah hard-boiled eggs are kind of a love it or hate it
thing people fail very strongly about their you know their thoughts on hard-boiled eggs I think
yeah I think that's true I think that's true for me it's mostly annoying to make
you can actually buy them just in a bag like already made but oh okay I'll do that
um that's another way okay next one is sunny side up this is really native and
natural vocabulary here so this is where the yolk is up um and it might be a little bit
runny but a lot of these are similar like isn't sunny side up a lot like over easy
or medium so I I learned a bit about eggs because I really I realized that I'm a little
that's why I just say I like them runny right I know and it well so I think what it is is like
these ones are all like fried eggs right like so sunny side up it's like you you put them
in a pan and um you don't mix it up it just yeah right right you just put the egg in there that's
how mine mostly happened so okay I actually was looking at a website some egg website I can't
remember the name to get some help you need some help clearly and our listeners definitely could
use some help here we need to know so what's the difference then between sunny side up and
over easy okay so I think what it is a sunny side up is technically you just leave it and you don't
flip it okay okay I think I think okay but over easy is you flip it over and then you can have it
over easy where it's still runny it's still kind of runny but it's like fried runny it's like you
flipped it over but it's still runny but medium is cooked a little longer and then hard is when it's
like you know just like a fried egg where there's no runniness I see okay because I've always been a
little confused between medium and over easy and sunny side up side up but uh that's good unless
unless you don't flip and it's just about how how like how long you cooked it for but I think it's
including the flip yeah if you want to be really safe and you don't want to get anything runny just
ask for scrambles right you can't go wrong that is the most standard way to do it but then there's
omelette right you want your you want an omelette which is kind of a totally different meal right
it's not the same as just ordering two eggs right Michelle right right exactly yeah right so I I
actually have a friend who if we were this was it was such a joke we were at a restaurant and it
says like oh two eggs any style she's an omelette style yes no what that doesn't make any sense okay
so let's talk about that and then and then there was kind of like a discussion with the waitress
and there was some debate because then there was a separate menu where you would you could order
a separate menu item of just ordering an omelette so let's talk about let's talk about that Lindsay
so why did you kind of say well what omelette well it's totally separate when I think of an
omelet I mean I guess you could technically right make an omelette with with just an egg
but it normally it has a lot more in it like cheese and vegetables and other things right
so I think I would also be really confused if I were that server oh God I feel bad for the server
yeah well if we we would not let my friend hear the end of it how do you want your eggs in an
omelette style um no not where I come from so guys in our opinion it's totally different don't answer
how do you like your eggs or how do you want your eggs by saying omelette avoid that oh my God
but yeah there's something about it because that's just it's a different thing like an omelette it's
a different thing a different meal it's usually on a separate section of the menu right Michelle like
usually there's a whole page or two just eggs right and then there's actually usually a full
page on different kinds of omelets you could order Chi oh cheese and mushroom or spinach or who knows
what right yeah um by the way okay so frittata oh you never had a frittata I don't know I don't know
if I have all I remember is that commercial where she's like my frittata right okay never mind never
mind all right wait for Todd you have to look into that yeah um well apparently so I was also
looking into the difference between an omelet and a frittata I think a frittata is more folded like
okay but folded yeah isn't it a bit drier kind of like just not as I I think of an of a frittata is
almost more like a quiche yeah it's like more like a little bit of a cake like a yes it's thicker
than an omelette so I guess that would make sense if what I looked up said you fold it that does
make sense I like quiche do you like quiche I do like quiche yeah yummy um but guys there are tons
of other ways you can have your eggs so we went over some of the basics um so but let's say that
you are at a restaurant and you like we said you would see something on the menu like two eggs any
style right right yes okay and then you might hear the waiter or waitress say something like
oh how do you like your eggs or how do you want your eggs so common guys we want to be ready for
this moment you are definitely going to get this question you know so let's do a role play to show
our listeners how to do it here we go let's do it okay so I'll have the breakfast special all right
great do you want sausage or bacon sausage and how do you like your eggs I'll have them Sunny Side Up
great all right pretty straightforward and easy right exactly and then I made a note about the
omelet or the frittata would be likely listed in a separate section yeah I think so with the
quiche right right with the quiche and then we already kind of talked about this egg whites
right like so sometimes somebody might want maybe they're health conscious or whatever
um they might I mean although eggs are healthy it's just not like a million of them right I
don't know yeah no I think I think eggs are pretty healthy I mean the thing I have with egg whites
is it feels like you don't get any food when you cut out the the yolk like it's true yeah yeah do
you always wear like yeah I feel like the yokas where most of the nutrition is it feels like it
to me but I don't know I'm not anything I don't know I'm not a dietitian yeah um so but typically
it's funny though because an egg white omelette is usually extra right haven't you seen that on menus
where it's like egg white you know egg white substitute egg whites for two dollars more or
something right but you're actually getting less food right you're taking out something but it's
more expensive yeah yeah it's not funny I guess because they have to do the whole extra work I
take the things I don't know if you're looking at me right now Lindsay but yeah I know what you mean
I've seen it they do that thing I don't know how to do it but they don't I've tried and it's hard
okay nice I love it I love it yeah okay what else Michelle what else do we need to know well I mean
and then if you are ordering an omelette you have to decide what you want in it sometimes they might
say like you know add your items it might be a certain amount of money for each uh like item
or they might have specific kinds of omelette like Tex-Mex omelette or you know meat lovers omelette
or you know broccoli cheese omelette stuff like that right I think it would be common on a menu
guys at a diner or any breakfast place in the United States to see something like build your own
like omelets build your own yeah that's right so if you were going to build your own omelette what
do you like to put on it oh I would definitely go for cheese spinach I love a little Greens in the
morning sometimes and um like mushrooms sauteed mushrooms I love that cheese spinach and mushrooms
but lots of cheese which kind of cheese oh any kind mostly cheddar I think cheddar goes so nicely
with eggs cheddar and eggs I love it but I would take like fancier cheeses gruyere or something
too I don't discriminate when it comes to cheese what about that's like a quote I want to put on
Lindsay McMahon 2022 I don't discriminate against when it comes to cheese when it comes to cheese
yes uh what about me yeah I also like cheddar cheese maybe even maybe provolone maybe Swiss
um and I like uh I don't know I just say dump a whole bunch of stuff in there like
any vegetable like I like even onions oh yeah yeah um I could do broccoli mushrooms for sure
um so I love everything ooh what about sweet potatoes have you ever put sweet potatoes in a
no I haven't but I'm thinking it could be good maybe I don't know that would be good yeah all
right do we have one more role play for our listeners let's do one more egg role play okay
so in this case we're talking about ordering an omelette right Michelle we're not talking about
omelettes okay all right I'll have the three egg omelet oh but can I get egg whites yes definitely
great uh well what do you want on your omelette I'll have mushrooms tomatoes cheese and spinach
what kind of cheese well what kind do you have Swiss cheddar or Monster I'll go with Swiss great
coming right up oh man Swiss is the one cheese that I just can't really get on board with it I
like every other kind of cheese on Earth Swiss has a weird taste to me so I just bought swiss cheese
um and I don't know I think I'm having like I'm falling in love with it oh you're coming back to
Swizz okay that works I don't know I just said I I have swiss and cheddar in my fridge and and
mozzarella oh man I would go for that lots of cheese gotta love cheese if you like cheese go
to Vermont in the United States obviously go to France if you love cheese but in the U.S
go to Vermont it's a great place to find really good cheese so Michelle what's the takeaway for
our listeners here should we go through this or should we let's do it let's go through it
real quick yeah all right uh well uh oh well I guess we were well I said what well actually I
guess we kind of just added on our this is kind of a new role play it was specifically
a new extension role play just the idea of I think today's episode Michelle is more about
being ready for what your waitress is gonna ask you right when you're at that Diner right right
right right right so yeah like oh can I uh you order the uh the three omelette I said what do
you want on your omelette what kind of cheese and then you said what kind do you have I'll
go with Swiss great right right so yeah I think exchange and that one would be a good bonus for
our listeners today I'll go with I love that one great bonus that'll probably be in the app right
the iOS or Android app to go with something again is a creative way to say I'm choosing this this is
what I want right Michelle do you say that a lot I'll go with yeah I think that's a I think that's
kind of a cool casual way to request something in order to order something yeah and it's good
to keep it casual it's just breakfast I know let's be casual let's have fun let's enjoy let's
be polite you know just I'll go with this I'll go with that it's easy good stuff for sure all right
Michelle what's the takeaway for our listeners wow guys if you like eggs you have come to the right
place now you know how to order different kinds of eggs the way that you like them you can order
omelets you can order Sunnyside up if you know that you know about our taste and eggs it's been
a very eggy episode uh and we've cracked a lot of jokes oh Michelle you're good you're good
