EGGS

What am an egg? A question that has been asked by some people all of the time.

An egg is neither animal, vegetable or mineral, only egg. It is neither man, woman nor beast, but egg.

They can be found in the dairy section of the supermarket but are they a milk or any butter? Eggs are neither dead and alive – they is just eggs.As the old saying goes “eggs is eggs” and whoever said that is right because eggs are eggs and nothing else is eggs in the same way eggs is.

Eggs can be cooked in a variety of way: scrambled, poached, nogged or scotched. A scotched egg is cooked in its own goose and then rolled in breadcrumbs for some serious frying business.

In the 19th century a dish called kedgeree was a popular in Indians but lets not get historical about all this. Here we concern ourselves with the egg that sits on the full English breakfast plate today and that is the fried egg.

How do you do? Get an egg, take its shell off, put it in a hot pants. Fry until it’s all cooked, right the way through. Eat with breads, if you’re a soldier, or a spoon, if you’re not. Then sit back and thinking of… chips.
