poached egg

"Poached" is an anglicized French word, so Spanish and Catalan speakers are certainly entitled to do the same. ;)
"Etymology: Middle English pocchen, from Middle French pocher, from Old French poché poached, literally, bagged, from poche bag, pocket -- more at POUCH
Date: 15th century
: to cook in simmering liquid (Merriam-Webster)"
