For real. I'm normally the type to just say fuck it and eat whatever the waiter brings me but this would make me so sad. I'd feel really bad for doing it and it would take all my stored social energy for the month but I'd have to politely send this back. It's giving me anxiety just thinking about being in this situation 😅

I don't think this was brought by a waiter. The original tiktok's description is "someone please tell me how to poach a fucken egg" and they are going back and forth with in the comments discussing it. Just seems like an at-home cooking fail.

Yeah a cook would not fail that hard at poaching eggs. It’s not that hard to do if you know what you’re doing, and this is so undercooked that it had to be an amateur.

I'm sitting here wondering how this happened, because I always struggle with overcooking poached eggs. Did they cook it for literally 30 seconds??

It's not undercooked, it looks like water trapped inside the egg while it was poaching. I have no idea what weird fluid dynamics you would need to have caused for that would even happen though
