Was the rumor going around that there was saltpeter in the eggs when you were in?I love eggs. When I joined the navy, I would eat all of them I could. back home, mother said they were too expensive, so we rarely got them.
Since my cholesterol numbers are good, I don't worry about that aspect of eggs. If the eggs look like they haven't been cleaned properly, I throw them out, but that is rare.
Way I heard it, they put it in the mashed potatos. Or was it in the "softee" ice cream dispenser?Was the rumor going around that there was saltpeter in the eggs when you were in?
I fry them in BUTTER. It is a sacrelige to use any thing else....

It's sacrilege to use anything other than bacon grease.
I agree with snopes, cuz if they did add it to our food, it didn't work...

Only thing that might work for men that age, whack it with a mallet.:2razz:
bacon grease is permitted...if there is no butter available.I can say BOTH ways are acceptable if one's triglyceride levels are okay. I use EVOO though sometimes when I'm out of butter and bacon grease ... which allows the eggs to be choked down in a pinch. However, I will give one other suggestion:
LARD. Yes that's right. LARD.

LOL
I start my bacon, get some grease in the pan, pour some of that grease into a smaller skillet and then fry my eggs in it. :mrgreen:
Add some sharp cheddar and we've got a 4 alarm heart attack going on.
Eggs + cheese = love :mrgreen:
I see. The eggs were powdered when I did my thing, so it was easier to believe. Of course, so were the mashed potatoes, so one never knows ... :shock:Way I heard it, they put it in the mashed potatos. Or was it in the "softee" ice cream dispenser?

My late FIL would fry sausage patties, then cook his eggs in the sausage grease, then sop his toast in the grease still in the pan after cooking the eggs. His doctor told him that he knew dead people with better cholesterol numbers...
Nah. You need fat in your diet. Everything in moderation.
ewww... the toast thing is disgusting. Blech!
But, my cholesterol is awesome.
As is my BP.
So neener. :2razz:
I used to eat 1 or 2 Red Baron 4 cheese pizzas every week, with ham and/or sausage added, and sometimes with extra cheese.
I also had "heart attack on a plate" breakfast every morning, 2 eggs, ham or sausage, etc.
Doctor tells me my cholesterol numbers are not bad, but could be better if I exercised (yeah, right, like that will ever happen, besides doctor weighs at least 300 pounds and he is telling me to exercise). Once I tell him my diet, he says, nevermind, if you can have these numbers and eat like that, you are OK.
My wife inherited her dad's cholesterol situation, she takes meds, and eats like a rabbit, and that helps, but she will always have to take the meds.
I forget who said this, probably a comedian, but the comment was that we will all die of something, and that it would be silly to die of nothing...
I agree with this, though I do think most organic food is way overrated.
I had a couple awesome eggs over easy this morning. Some sourdough toast and coffee...yummy! I'll take the chances, if I ain't worried about terrorists, I don't think I'm gonna be chased off by an egg.
