Wrong, wrong, wrong! The main chat here is about making Coddled Eggs, . . .an Absolutely, Completely, utterly different thing. Brendandh 21:13, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong, coddled eggs are more similar to soft-boiled eggs, i.e. usually cooked shell-on.--71.97.131.16 13:01, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks; since you've taken the time to complain, maybe you could help improve the article by sharing your knowledge. yEvb0 23:28, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

fat

less fat =/= healthy. A more descriptive word would be helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.74.80.112 (talk) 07:05, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

moccha salt?

the description for the picture mentions "moccha salt"? what is this? a google turns up nothing but another confused person. it looks green in the picture? beej (talk) 21:03, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clicking on the image reveals that it was sourced from flickr. Following the link to flickr shows that it is matcha salt, not "moccha". William Avery (talk) 18:19, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

large dogs?

Removed this as it seemed nonsensical and was not backed up with any citations:

Poached Eggs do not exist in Hungary due to their reliance on riding round on the back of large dogs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.24.172.242 (talk) 16:16, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Painting

The painting by Velázquez included in this article is of a woman FRYING (not poaching) eggs. That is why it's called "Vieja friendo huevos (Old Woman Frying Eggs)". I'm removing it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.235.5.211 (talk) 17:48, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

mcmuffins use 'griddled eggs' not poached.

Indian English

I re-added the statement that in Indian English, "poached egg" means a fried egg. This is an international encyclopedia in which all English uses of a term are relevant, especially one that is used by a fifth of the population of the world. This is not trivia and it is not irrelevant. It belongs here. Acsenray (talk) 17:50, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re-reverted pending discussion on this topic here. Acsenray (talk) 17:08, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The statement isn't cited, but even if it were it might go better in Indian cuisine. Tom Harrison ^Talk 11:01, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BUt there should at least be a reference to that page from this page. Acsenray (talk) 15:48, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sarcastic comment: If the Indians call a poached egg, a fried egg, then what do they call, what at least in the UK, a fried egg ??? --Keith 18:30, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fat is used in their preparation

How can this article say that "no fat is used in their preparation"? This is quite clearly false. When one puts the egg in the container in which one poaches it, one must put some cooking oil or melted margarine to prevent the egg sticking to the container. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 19:27, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have now removed this nonsensical statement. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 23:11, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Updated Source

I'm new to editing.

One of the sources led to a website that had moved and simply updated the link to point to the same post on the new website. I forgot to add a summary to my edit so I'm posting it here.
