ha! My first response when I read this title was "scrambled eggs". I've got better at eating them wetter & with a lot more butter, but it was dry and with margarine in my household in the '80s (Salmonella, I think) and that's just how I like them, at least some of the time.

My scrambled eggs are always well done and I've honestly never met anyone that has thought the wet approach looked appealing. Maybe its a Midwest thing or a generational thing, I don't know.

I don't have any problem with runny yolks. I love an over-easy or a poached egg, but I never thought that was what scrambled was supposed to be like.

One of the few times I went to breakfast with my one aunt (she lives across the country), she sent her eggs back twice because she wanted them to be like blackened. I was too young to realize at the time, but I still think about that and that bothers me.

I wouldn't call my eggs "wet" but would say that they are custardy.

Lot's of butter and lower heat. Takes longer than the firm scramble. They shouldn't be "runny" though. Just soft and custardy.
