Like a boiled egg?
A fair few chinese soups use egg for thickening - you typically whisk an egg in at the end of cooking in a chicken and sweetcorn soup for example, making those little white strands appear in the soup.

It's always worth persevering with food you don't like, particularly if it's because of a strong/unusual taste, because it often becomes the food you like the most.
I find it hard to believe that I once abhored curry so much that I'd leave the house if anyone was eating it because I loathed the smell.
I couldn't stand anything that was even remotely spicey.
Coriander used to make me feel unwell.
And blue cheese? *spew*
Obviously these are some of the greatest foods known to man - imagine if I'd just given up on them?
Sprouts though - yeah, I've never got sprouts.

This all seems like an awful lot of effort when I could just buy some olives for the same effect

could work but seems like too much going on to me. You wanna be able to taste the sprouts!
do it and let me know what it's like!

I thought the point was that some people don't want to taste the sprouts, hence the addition of all the other stuff!could work but seems like too much going on to me. You wanna be able to taste the sprouts!

But you're right though, I suppose bacon chilli and carlic could be a bit overpowering - though you could just use a small amount of each to add a subtle kick to the flavour

forgot there weirdos out there who don't like sprouts!
I think it would be a culinary balancing act but it could work!

I love olives, but this description is stll very funny.
I did train myself to like them, though. When I was a teenager, I had a jar of olives and would take one out and eat it every day, wanting to like them because they were 'sophisticated.' Heh. Now I genuinely really, really love them.

I like to try stuff I thought I disliked. Its just as well I used to be a really fussy eater.
My favourite find this year is mustard.

The only food like that for me is sushi. Growing up, the idea of eating fish raw, was nauseating. So I had trepidation when I moved to the coast, and friends took me to a sushi restaurant. But I took to it immediately, even though it was unfamiliar.
If I hadn't liked it, that would have been it: no sushi for me, thanks!

Still can't quite like mustard - keep trying though as it's often in recipes that sound good. i can just about stomach coarse grain mustard in stuff so long as it's not too over powering. same with horseraddish - keep on persevering!

When I was a yout at nursery school (between age 3 and 5), all I wanted to eat was tuna and rice, or bread that my mum made, cheese, or Jamaican food (yam, banana, plantain, dumplings etc.),
I remember being at my aunties house with my mom, everyone decided to order pizza. I wanted a tuna pizza, but there was no such thing so she ordered a cheese one, and I wouldn't eat it because it had tomatoes on it
I really can't imagine being scared to eat tomatoes, even if I was only about 4
I stopped being fussy about food when I went to Jamaica aged 6, I consumed it fast and in large quantities without complaint

I like eating mustard even though I don't like mustard. I like mustard mixed with mayonaise.
I also like honey in things but I would never eat honey on toast. blech.
