Haha - totally understood. I just find that the white comes a bit too thick and 'rubbery', for my liking, when coddled. But getting poached eggs right can be tricky.
I like them when they come out like this, and in the poaching process they've been slightly 'quenelled', if you're familiar with that term?
Yolk's got to be nice and runny too, so you can dip in your buttered 'soldiers'!!
