How do you call your cow's eye egg?


In Italy we call: Uova all'occhio di bue".
And you?

As best as I can tell, you break the yolk of a fried egg and cover up
your incompetence by giving it a cute name. -aem

I think it just means the appearance of the egg, Carol, like poached or
sunny side up.

I think there's a wee bit of a language barrier here....Do you mean an
egg where the yolk is intact? Most "names" we give to eggs refer to
the way they are cooked. "Sunny side up" is probably the closest name
to what you are describing - the egg looks like the sun.

How is your egg prepared?

On my husband's first trip to Germany, he went out to a restaurant with some
German friends, and decided to just pick something out on the menu by
pointing, rather than asking them to translate everything. The thing he
picked out was: cow's head -- guaranteed at least one eye.

He decided to pass on that and ended up with a stuffed portobello mushroom
instead.

Moooo!

Could we call them Egg a la Penguin? Penguins have yellow eyes, so do owls & coyotes (but
they have black middles). Some cats have yellow eyes, but their middle is long and not
like an egg at all. Here's a link to a yellow eye bean from Maine:

I believe it's what we call "sunny-side up",
a fried egg that is not turned over.

Every bone in my body is fighting with my hands to not type what I'm
thinking...

Haha - the bones lost.

First off, I never had a cow. Our neighbors had cows and even boarded them
in our back pasture... All of them had eyes but none had eggs that I was
aware of. We did have chickens for a few years and they had both (literally
2!) eyes and laid eggs but neither the cows or the chickens had eye eggs.

Okay, funny stuff aside, are you eating eyes? I've heard that they are a
delicacy...

I've had pig snouts and maybe their ears... bull/cow 'oysters', and various
cuts of other animals (even chicken feet at a Cook-in!) but not eyes...
interesting thought though.

Pandora, take this correction in the good-natured spirit you usually do.
"At school, they taught me...."

"Have teach" is "not an option."
P.S. "not an option" is a 'hated phrase' for me. The way I am using the
phrase 'not an option,' it's an idiom for "it is never used."

Pandora,


Tell us more about the teacher who taught you English. Where was he or
she from? Until this moment, I thought all of your English was
self-taught from books and the Internet. (That's a compliment.
Learning from books alone is hard.)


(I just now realized that "English teacher" could have several meanings.
It could be any teacher from England, or it could be the teacher who
teaches the English language to those who don't speak it from birth, or,
the way we use it here, it is generally the teacher who teaches English
literature.)

In Austria (Vienna) we called it Spiegelei, Mirror Egg, I do not know
why. Perhaps because the cooked yolk was so shiny, you could almost
see your reflection in it.

Later on I found out that in Germany it was called Oxenaug, Eye of an
Ox. Very similar to your Cow's Eye. :o) Again, I do not know why,
but the name did not appeal to me. :o(

When you want to know the name of something, say, "What do you call
.... ?"

When you want to know how to ask someone or something to come to you,
say, "How do you call (your family to the dinner table)?" for example.
