How to eat: boiled eggs | Life and style | guardian.co.uk
I often put warm eggs in a salad. I like those eggs to be semi hard - they are done to my liking when the shell dries almost immediately when I lift the egg (on a spoon) out of the water.
When I want to eat the egg in an egg cup, and dip "soldiers" into the egg, I like the yolk to be runny and the white firm. But I'd prefer the yolk to be hard than the white to be runny, so I often use the egg shell drying technique - but perhaos with the shell taking a little longer to dry.
And opening an egg I want to eat in an egg cup. I bash the top with a spoon (and aren't bothered which end of the egg is uppermost), and then take the shell off the egg. I wouldn't slice the top of the egg off with a knife!
And I wouldn't eat duck eggs. I like ducks, and would eat duck or duck egg!
