As a kid, I hated poached eggs because I thought they were slimy.
They were under cooked and the white actually had what I thought
looked like blue snot on them. Gah. My stomach goes in a knot just
thinking about them.

Then soft boiled eggs came into my life. I don't get the allure of
eating it inside the shell. I have perfected soft boiled eggs, so the
white is solid enough that I can remove the shell without anything
breaking - but the yolk is runny and yummy... and I have egg cups that
can hold them.
