Lesley Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 A waste of a good egg and good asparagus if you ask me I like both - but separately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Toast for me too sorry Red, but bread isn't firm enough or crispy enough for the perfect boiled egg toast soldier dunk It's got to be thinly sliced, and very lightly buttered. I'm another sliced, pointy end up fan. I've tried the bashing technique, but then I end up picking off shell crumbs from the top of the egg- most frustrating when your as impatient as me . Whereas if you slice you can just cut the egg open at the inviting point where a golden runny yolk is just sitting there, surrounded by the firm white, it's positively tempting you to plunge that toast soldier into it. Yummy, I'm feeling hungry now Just as you're finishing you can turn your attention to the top, and one deft movement with the spoon will remove that last little bit of white This is the first time that I've actually analysed how I eat a boiled egg. This forum does get me thinking about a weird and wonderful selection of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 For me it's point up - bash - peel - oh and in case you hadn't gathered ...................................................................... bread!!! NB - BREAD - Wholemeal - homemade or good quality - not floppy mass produced sliced pap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 toast, unbuttered. And point up, and elegantly sliced. (My wife is a point down and batterer - which is why I started this...!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 For me, it's got to be buttered toast. A thick piece of white homemade bread - cut like a doorstep and a little sprinkle of salt on the egg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I'm a toast man and it's got to be buttered with Bridel Brittany butter with sea salt crystals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 No, plain granary toast with no butter, and no salt on the egg either. Seems like an insult to Ethel and Doris to have to add salt to the egg. I wouldn't add sugar to strawberries either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
