Question

Correction misspelled: What does it mean and where this statement originally from?"You are a poached egg!"

Answer 1

I have only read a sentence like that about which you inquire in one place: "Mere Christianity," by C.S. Lewis. Macmillan Publishing. 1978. (p. 56)

The full paragraph reads as follows:  

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him[Jesus]:  'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would be either a lunatic — ***on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg *** (emphasis added) — or else he would be the Devil of h**l. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."

As to its meaning, Lewis used this paragraph as a part of his effort to refute those who argue that Jesus might have been a great moral teacher but that he was not the son of God.
