Most quiche I've had in my life has been pre-packaged, and reminded me of nothing so much as a sponge made of egg. The flavor was bland, the texture was terrible.
That said, I've actually looked up and made a proper quiche once... and the end result was pretty much scrambled eggs with cheese, ham and a few veggies... but in a casserole pan. Nothing wrong with it, but I'd rather just make the scrambled eggs. Less effort, same result.
As for being unmanly... uh... what? That pre-packaged quiche I had was generally served in a US Army dining facility, heated on a very manly grill table.

My mum's home-made quiche is delicious and one of my favourite meals 
it could be because we have the luxury of exceptionally fresh eggs from our chickens but it always tastes amazing, hot or cold

Never liked quiche, never will. Its never the filling, its always the base that throws me off. Soggy with a hint of crumbling and/or tearing, it can be like eating cardboard ( which I know a thing or two about )... eurgh! Get it away from me!...ME MAN! ME CLUB SABERTOOTH! ME BED WOMAN! ME HATE QUICHE!
No problems my good fellow! I was highly amused. Also, I understand how the thought of delicious, soft, creamy tasty quiche can distract you from... mmmmmmmmmm *drool*... er, what were talking about again? quiche? yeah, it's delicious.Tjebbe said:Never underestimate the sheer power of absolute failure in clicking the right button, followed by an extensive round of deleting the wrong part of the post
My apologies, good frog, I henceforth shall pay more attention to what I am doing. Must be the thought of quiches that destroyed my ability to pay attention to what I was doing.
It seems like it should be one of the manliest foods out there. It's essentially eggs, bacon, cheese, and potatoes, with some onion or broccoli depending on the recipe, all baked into a pie. You can practically hear your arteries screaming. I love quiche, btw.
Because it's typically thought of as light, haughty, airy, and most damningly, French.
It's a societal rule- men are supposed to be big manly men, and manly men eat steak (or whatever).
Men who hate quiche, and the society that created them, just needs to grow the fuck up and realize that there is no food that will turn you gay (except foot-long sausages).
On a personal note, I like quiche, but it was my ex-girlfriend's favorite food, and I got tired of eating it all the damn time after awhile, so I kind of fell out with it.

I think it's pretty good as long as it was made right. However, when you look at TV sitcoms haven't you noticed all the fathers seem to be unsophisticated guys with beer guts who are going bald on their couch. Most TV shows are just preparing you to respond better to their commercials, they want you to but cases of beer cause that's what the life of the party does and eat burgers because that's what real men do. Not saying I don't like burgers and beer.... I'm just saying its marketing.
I burned my thumb while cooking them, quite badly. Twice.kikon9 said:
It also tastes as if someone ejaculated right into some pastry and sprinkled it with puke.
God damn you guys I'm sat here starving and I basically can't have any food and you guys start talking about quiche . Seriously though, quiche is awesome, regardless of whether it's hot or cold and is totally manly, especially if it has bits of pig in it (see: bacon/ham). I think people see it as 'unmanly' because it has a French, or French-sounding name which isn't seen as manly (no offence you French guys, you're still cool in my eyes) and it is kind of poncey (for everyone who doesn't know what a ponce is, see: pretentious, airheaded, possibly camp person), it's like a hipster pie or a hipster pasty.
