There has been some dispute regarding bagged eggs recently.
I would be remiss if I did not follow up on this properly, so that the lemmy community might come to some kind of consensus regarding this highly controversial culinary phenomenon.
Serious answers only, please.
It’s scrambled eggs in a bag.
They’re used in hotel restaurants, canteens, cafeteries etc. for making a uniform product when serving many people in a buffet.
It’s alright, I guess. Eggs are great for this kind of product.
It would be nice to save the plastic bag and just make actual scrambled eggs, which is about as difficult as opening the bag anyway. However in kitchens like in hotels where the staff is new every month, it’s an easy way to keep that dish from fucking up.
I was once at a 4 star hotel where a chef would cook each dish of scrambled eggs individually for each guest from a selection of additional ingredients and spices. Sure it was a luxury experience, but I could as well have eaten the bagged eggs and added some stuff myself if I actually needed mushrooms and peppers etc.
And for hard boiled egg some canteens and restaurants use Long Egg, a cylindrical shaped hard boiled egg with a cylinder of egg yoke in the middle. https://www.danaeg.com/our-products/long-eggs/
I wonder what shape the chicken is?
Very tall, one would imagine
Square. The cylinder goes in the (out of) the square hole.

It’s not a chicken, it’s wombat eggs.
I was today years old when I learned about long eggs
I still don’t understand how they make the raw ingredients into that shape?!
If I had to guess: they separate the whites and yolks, and then there’s a concentric cylindrical mold where they pour the whites in the outside and the yolks in the center (maybe lightly beaten to break the membranes?), start bringing things up to temp, and remove the inner ring once the whites are firm enough, so that the whole thing is a continuous egg-rod when done cooking.
It goes really well with long pork.

Best guess literally a bag of precooked, pre scrambled eggs dumped in a warming tray for breakfast.

If you were Polish, those would be your balls.
I spend a lot of time in hotels but for work where i tend to start at 6am. Breakfast is still not an option cause I’m usually leaving at 0530 and be damned if I’m waking up at 0400 to go have shitty Breakfast
I like dogs, but cats are cool too.
Haha I’m just ranting don’t mind me
Your ranting is fine with me pal, I have no qualms with you.
I just want to get to the bottom of this bagged egg situation which seems to be dividing us all.

Another response says I can put a hard boiled egg into a bag.
I’m still not entirely sure if that’s possible, but I’m going to try it first thing tomorrow.

Every grocery store, cafeteria, and gas station I go to has them. I chose a link to a manufacturer’s page so there won’t be a sales link. A quick search will show every major grocery or convenience store chain has there own store brand prepackaged boiled eggs.

If you edit the post with that it will not pull people out of their own instance, and your post will be updated with a cross-post link to the original post.
Honestly I’m very glad to see this thread. Saw the original comment this morning and was thoroughly bemused, it’s probably been weighing on my subconscious all day.
It’s a vegetarian Scotch egg, basically.
