This morning, Food Net work posted this question on FB "What's your favorite brunch dish?"
I'm astonished at how many people said eggs benedict. I used to serve them here, but a lot of guests didn't want the runny egg yolks.
Check out the responses. Very rarely does someone choose a sweet entree.
 
Well, to me brunch is brunch, not dessert either, so I would agree.
Typically eggs bennie are brunch food, so that may be part of you response reasoning imo. Quiche. Made to order omelette.
 
I have noticed eggs benedict is getting a lot of attention on all the food shows. Flipping the tv today, I noticed a program showing six ways to vary them.... Just what is popular right now. Last year waffles... I dislike runny eggs, and many places won't serve them without a warning. I do wonder how many really eat them.
 
I haven't gotten a special request in ages, but one came in recently and it was for - you guessed it, Eggs B.
I hadn't made it for a while due to the egg yoke issue, but when I made it for this group, not a drop was left on any plate.

And the sweet vs savory, hands down most prefer savory here.

I love eggs benny too!
 
So what is the answer from us here, would we eat them? We would only eat them with eggs scrambled? I think there are people who have never had them, like there are people who have never eaten avocados, or huevos rancheros (which I saw on that list) or chorizo and eggs.
I pretty much would like any and all of those. I am not a big egg person, but in moderation I will eat them! I am happy with a breakfast jack! (wish we had jackinthebox here) we drive to NC to go to one.

I do not mind a runny yolk but that white had best be cooked solid. I like eggs as long as there is no hot spices in them. Mom taught us to be "garbage cans" - there is not much we do not eat. But we did not grow up on spicy (Mexican and Thai were NOT in WV in the 50s).

I love Egg B.! Although I don't like my yolks too runny. When DH makes them he knows better. Same with "toad in the hole"

My dad visited me when I was in grad school, (my early days of gourmet mag.) and remarked at dinner that I was less of a connoisseur than a "common sewer"..... miss that sense of humor!
 
I like runny eggs; I like eggs B, but have never been tempted to serve them. Easy to make, so I could, although real hollandaise doesn't hold well; there would be food waste.
We do get requests for eggs poached soft and eggs over-easy. I can't remember more than one or two that asked for sunny-side up. Our County health inspector wanted us to put a little notice on the breakfast bar: Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness. Eggs “over easy” are considered undercooked. ... OK
