WTF are you putting on your eggs that anyone can smell from more than a foot away? Seriously- a soft boiled egg (hard boiled more likely given the travel context here) is almost completely odorless…

They do have an odor to them, especially since most people tend to boil them to death but I can think of a hundred things more offensive in a confined space.

  Boss used to microwave smoked mackerel in office kitchenette. Would coincide with half the staff leaving for lunch out :D

  > They do have an odor to them I never had an egg that smelled unless it was bad (which too hasn't actually happened to me). My sense of smell is pretty good, I smell all kinds of little things (incidentally, I think that loss of sense of smell can be an early signal for approaching death, if there is no non-deadly cause to explain it). I read the replies here: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-boiled-eggs-stink-but-scrambled-eggs-dont https://www.quora.com/Why-do-boiled-eggs-stink-but-scrambled... -- but I've never seen this in five decades of egg eating. I think I would remember a stinking egg (would make me more reluctant to make more for quite some time)? What does "overcook" mean in this context? I've done up to a little under 10 minutes for some larger eggs. I think there may be something very wrong with the food, and subsequently the bodies, of your mass-incercerated and terribly treated chickens. I did see some funny eggs (inside colors) - that UI refused to eat - in places that bought the cheap mass-produced eggs. My mother also gets eggs with unnaturally deep colors, I think that's something they must have added to the chicken's prison food. That's an issue I have with discussions - but also with studies - about this or that food, for example "meat is bad", but anything really, tomatoes or potatoes too. Each food type has a vast spread, and everybody just uses the name of the food but people are all talking past one another because they have vastly different actual food in mind.

It’s common to over-boil eggs that results with a green copper sulfate patina on yolk. Some people vehemently prefer that. We had some friends visit us and they took that on a plane… Yikes!
