Hey Richard, if you’re poaching eggs that are freshly laid by your own chickens, you don’t actually need the vinegar as the albumin is strong enough to firm up beautifully without it. Of course you may like the flavour it adds, but if you ever have an annoying friend/colleague visiting who doesn’t like the vinegar flavour your (correct) method will still work.

In my humble opinion, "Hammond vs May: Who makes the best poached eggs?" is not only great cinema but also an existential work of art. On the level of Albert Camus or Samuel Beckett. In addition, the acting is superb. May is never out of character. Hammond has an edginess that makes the whole piece work. Then there is the camera work. Very unsettling. Always unbalanced. One actor upstaging the other in alternative shots. In fact, in one shot, the cabinet upstages both actors. That was great. I cannot say enough nice things about Poached Eggs. It is, truly, a great work of art. Surprisingly, Hammond's eggs appear to be just a good as May's poached eggs. So there is a lot a room for discussion here about process vs results. Truly a philosophical wonder. Keep up the good work lads.

[@tailishlaller5365]

It was actually described by the writers and directors, it's not all scripted, they just have certain bullet points/topics to entice them to argue. For example: script could say play a prank or do something to anger a certain person, usually with the driving stuff it's not scripted.

Fun fact: I've managed to do that while boiling water for pasta on a boyscout camping trip. I suspect cooking oil somehow ended up in the pot and the fire got way too hot.

Eliáš Machálek a friend, wrote a manuscript which he wanted to publish as a book, about culture and religion.. to be called 'The Joy of Sects' .. and the publisher was refused permission to apply an ISBN number to the book until they changed the title. The reason being, that it sounded too much like the original. How stupid.

I love how Richard regards the chef's knife he has found in the drawer whilst glancing at the back of James.

[@nickshillito1170]

I agree with Richard that using the coddler is sacrilege…. But I agree with James that using vinegar will make them taste like vinegar! I’ve been making poached eggs without vinegar my whole life. No vinegar, no whirlpool. Just fresh, cold eggs carefully lowered straight into simmering, heavily salted water for about 3-4 minutes. Perfect every time

[@geronimo5537]

James: Almost perfect just a touch undercooked. Hammond: Slightly overcooked but better. Honestly I would be fine eating either.
