Ah, the thread takes a more serious turn....

Deep-fried courgette flowers are, in all seriousness, quite delicious. Esp dipped in hollandaise.... Which reminds me - anyone got any tips on how to poach an egg? Made eggs benedict the other night - the hollandaise turned out great but the poached egg was a soggy stringy disaster...

Great... In two posts I've gone from being dump-worthy to rejection as relationship-material. How about just a one-night-stand, then???

Yes to the vinegar. I put the egg in a ladel and kind of lowered it in gently... Really, you reckon a vigorous stirring would help????

yep, get the water spinning in a clockwise direction, then put the egg in...

when it is boiling a lot,you need to stir it really fast to make a vortex.its easier if you crack the egg into a cup and when youve got the vortex,pour it into the middle slowly...perfect.

Interesting. So the boundary layer of the vortex will constrain the albumen in a roughly homogenous geometry - that I can see.

But why clockwise?????
