Putting stuff on scrambled eggs (story)

I love eating scrambled eggs, especially when they're cooked in the soft "hotel style." I eat too many eggs, and my mom chides me to watch my cholesterol. What I also love are unique renditions of scrambled eggs, in very subtle "seasonings."

One of the "seasonings" I discovered was a very light touch of maple syrup on scrambled eggs. Sounds gross, but you have to try it. I think I got addicted to this taste because I used to have hungover moments in the dining hall at school, and I'd just put a bunch of salad, waffles, and scrambled eggs into a singular salad bowl, so the maple syrup would run onto the eggs. And eating is such a welcome comfort when you're hungover. So it's somewhat an acquired taste, but I swear it's good! And upon reflection, that's probably not the first time I ate maple syrup on eggs. If you've ever ordered the breakfast pack at McDonalds (pancakes plus scrambled eggs plus sausage and orange juice), I'm pretty sure the maple syrup collides with the eggs too. So I must have eaten it as a kid. As a picky kid I remember the maple syrup getting on the eggs, and thinking it was gross, but honestly I think that's where the nostalgia of the taste comes from: McDonald's breakfast as a kid during a roadtrip + college hangover comfort food.

This morning I was eating a breakfast taco, and so I think I either tasted a hint lime on scrambled eggs, or maybe I imagined it. Either way, it tasted delicious. I need to try lime on scrambled eggs again.
