Have an egg. Have three! Go on, it doesn't matter.

Excellent, they do set you up nicely for the day...................... poached for me

How do you poach yours? I use the saucepan of boiled water, stired, with vinegar method.

To support what my friend said: OldNews!

We use a infuriatingly difficult to clean, 4 egg poaching pan thingy.

I would eat more but alas our blasted chickens aren't laying in this cold weather. I'm now beginning to visualise them encased in a shortcrust pastry enveloped by rich gravy.

I subscribe to the Blessed Delia's method of poaching - shallow depth of water heated in a frying pan to the point where the odd bubble's drifting to the surface. Lower egg gently in & just spoon the water over the yolk every now & then until cooked to your liking. No vinegar required.

Living where you do I'd expect Delia to pop round and do it for you!

I have just been reading 'Bad Science' by Ben Goldacre. A fascinating read.

I can't comment on the accuracy of this particular news story but it has all of the hallmarks of the type of popular media health reporting that he so nicely pulls apart in the book.

Two eggs in a pan of boiling water. One says "Look, I've got a crack."
The other says "Hang on, I'm not hard yet."

And so to bed.

So it's back to work on an egg

There was some scepticism about the findings when it was confirmed that Juliet Gray, a public health nutritionist, was funded by the egg industry for her research time.

Hmmm....

Q. What are the disadvantages of being an egg?

A. You only get laid once, you only get smashed once, and the only person to sit on your face is your mother.

If we wait long enough cream cakes and doughnuts will be slimming!

A little bit of what you like does you good!

Everything in moderation ...

Well almost everything ...

A dietician I heard once said if you're having trouble with digestion, or meat is a problem, that eggs were the best source of easy to digest protein. I just had 2 soft boiled.

I think this still does not put the 'Gut Buster' I used to enjoy in Brighton after a long night of clubbing into the healthy category.

I'll be bound.

I used to know an old couple who kept chickens running round the yard for eggs.

If one of them ever got egg-bound, then the old boy used to ring its neck!

His wife then used to convert the ancient bird into marvelous stew/soup stuff! Cooked for weeks sometimes!
