Sometimes you have to sprinkle a little salt and pepper on your scrambled eggs...

[kentuck]

Otherwise, they are bland and tasteless.

That is the way I look at the debate and discussion on DU. Although I may disagree on a lot of issues, I still believe the discussion is like salt and pepper. By themselves, they may make you wince or sneeze, but mixed in with the eggs, they taste a whole lot better.

We should not take the debate here too seriously, because in the long run, we would be much more bland and tasteless without the salt and pepper to season them...

1. Tabasco sauce HAS salt and pepper in it!

[kentuck]

2. See what I mean?

peace

[jberryhill]

3. Well all you need is Tabasco sauce

And anyone who doesn't put Tabasco sauce on their eggs is a troll.

(Cholula and Red Devil are acceptable substitutes, based on your condiment budget)

[kentuck]

4. I like that Tabasco from Iberia...

[Aerows]

23. New Iberia, LA

But actually, it's from Avery Island

[coalition_unwilling]

5. I'll put in a bid for Tapatio on eggs. Yum! (Don't eat them much any more b/c of

cholesterol concerns, but when I do, I have my Tapatio ready to rock.)

[jberryhill]

6. Do stores still require proof of citizenship to purchase Tapatio?

Show me a green card, or buy a bottle of Crystal.

[Aerows]

28. I don't eat eggs because I don't like them

unless they are hard boiled, and I can pull the yucky yolk out, but I love hot sauce in my biscuits and gravy and in my grits

[pangaia]

7. Vietnamese chili and garlic sauce..

And I am NOT a troll... Am not..am not..

[jberryhill]

8. I'll let you go on that one

But only if it is in the squirt bottle.

[Tom Ripley]

12. Yes!

[niyad]

9. forget tabasco!! ghost pepper sauce!!

[jberryhill]

10. That's okay for things you can mix it into

But I try to keep breakfast below 500,000 Scoville units.

[niyad]

13. I take it you don't want to borrow my bottle of trinidad scorpion sauce?

[Chellee]

17. Are you trying to prepare breakfast,

or an assassination attempt?

[jberryhill]

18. Lol

[niyad]

22. can't take the heat, huh? you just gave me a GREAT idea!!

[Aerows]

25. Ooooh!

That sounds delicious. Is it true that it's sweeter than Bhut Jolokia (ghost pepper) sauce? I've heard that it both lights you up and has a great flavor.

[niyad]

34. yes, there is a slightly sweeter taste to it. I am now waiting to see if I can get my

chocolate 7-pot to grow. that should be very interesting.

[Aerows]

35. Chocolate 7-pot!

I haven't tried one, but they are consistently the hottest pepper out there. Scorpions can get hotter, but the Chocolate 7-pots are just consistent bad assery.

I look forward to hearing how it does and how it tastes! Please post and let us know the results

[snooper2]

19. anybody who doesn't cook their eggs with minced green onions is a troll

get it right if you are going to make grand pronouncements

[jberryhill]

20. That was assumed

Although I've moved from Jalapenos to Serranos.

[Aerows]

26. Scotch Bonnets

They are delicious. I like them in my black beans and rice recipe.

[Aerows]

21. No

Tabasco is a necessity

[AlecBGreen]

31. untrue

all you need is ketchup and first you have to make some bacon so you can scamble up the eggs in the drippings :drool: and btw, my doctor just did my blood work a year ago and said my cholesterol is juuuuust fiiiiiine

[msanthrope]

15. Frank's. That's all I'm sayin'. nt

[Tom Ripley]

11. It's not scrambled eggs without LOTS of pepper

[slackmaster]

14. I use Marie Sharp's Fiery Hot Habanero pepper sauce on mine

[Go Vols]

24. +1000

This is some really good stuff,not to hot,but has a damn good bite.

[KG]

16. pepper jack cheese in mine, please

[patrice]

27. I don't think, no matter how well intended, that it is a good thing to delude the disadvantaged. nt

[sanatanadharma]

29. Sambal Oelec on everything...

...and only one habanero sauce has ever gotten the better of me; I've cut them up and chopped barehanded by the bucket.

The HOT sauce, Laughing Planet Restaurant Habanero

[MynameisBlarney]

30. Salt, pepper ketchup and Texas Pete

are the only way I can eat scrambled eggs.

[In_The_Wind]

32. Maybe a little minced shallots added in.

Just not too much.

[thelordofhell]

33. Bacon Bits and Sriracha Sauce

You're welcome
