Americans don’t have egg cups.
How do they eat boiled eggs?
They don’t.
........,,,,,,,,,
They’ve never known the pleasure of a goog. No wonder they’re all so angry. 🙂

PS: it’s a joke!! Don’t reinforce the stereotype by getting angry. Geez.

It's more than the lack of egg cups that piss us off. Have you seen the motherfucker that was elected president? Egg cups are not the problem.

I think you win the thread 💗

I have a wonderful egg cooker that soft boils them or hard boils them or even makes an omelette. Not all Americans are in the dark. LOL

I do mine in my electric food steamer, they taste much better steamed I reckon.

@Triphid that’s exactly what my egg cooker does! It steams them. I just poke a little hole in the top of the egg, put it on the little rack add a small amount of water and they steam to hard boiled. I find they peel much easier using this method too.

I'm an American, I have (many) egg cups, and I like 'em soft boiled with toast.

Eggs and soldiers they are.

My mom gave me a soft-boiled egg in an egg cup every single day before school in cold weather! ASSumption, indeed!

So did mine, except it was in a blue cup with a handle and I drank it. Every morning! She called it a “soft-boiled egg”. These days I eat ‘em hard boiled 🙂

@Grahame

I eat hard boiled eggs all the time. I just cook them longer.

Plunge the cooked eggs into ice water. Peel the egg and eat it.

I love knowing who to block straight away.

You are just like an egg, very fragile.

@Jolanta No, not at all. I just don't bother with passive aggressive folks which this poster very clearly is.

We had egg cups when I was a little kid.
My mother tried getting us to use them, but we didn't like our
eggs like that.

5

I do believe the majority of us just peel and eat it, no need for the fancy cups.

5

We don't? I have an egg cup collection in fact. But since I don't boil eggs often, and when I do, they're hard boiled, I don't use them. I would if I liked soft-boiled eggs better. It when my mom was in the hospital giving birth to my sister, I was left in the care of my dad, whose only culinary accomplishment was the soft-boiled egg. It was a long labor. I could not bear boiled eggs throughout the rest of my childhood.

I had two soft boiled eggs at teatime tonight with “soldiers” of wholemeal toast! I often have them at teatime if I’ve been out for lunch earlier. They were large and from free range hens of course, and served in egg cups!

We boil the egg and eat it shells and all. Goog goog

Hey, you DO realize that every egg comes out a chicken's bum-hole don't you, that's why they have a hard wrapping to keep the contents from being contaminated....LOL

@Triphid ok not saying chickens are just like women, but hey do have more than one hole (i think)

@Burner Nope, chickens only have what is known as cloaca, it serves the dual purposes of an outlet for bodily wastes and the depositing of eggs.

We have them and we are angry because of trump and cronies . Used them as a kid

We call them soft boiled eggs here different from hard boiled

You guys were angry before Trump.

@Jolanta not all of us but we still had Mitch and the republicans blocking things

3

@Grahame I was raised on soft-boiled eggs. We also call them "3-minute Eggs", and egg timers have long been common kitchen accessories. I don't know where you acquired your knowledge of America, but it's very diverse.

3

Americans are not "all angry." That's a mean, inaccurate thing to say.

@Grahame You may apologize for being flippant again. ... You're the worst kind of person. Very manipulative and passive aggressive.

@Grahame That just proves your point, they are angry, he, he.

@Jolanta I think you're both nuts and not worth my time.

3

And -- the difference between posh people and the rest. Posh people tap the top of the egg with the eggspoon and remove part of the broken shell . The rest slice the top of the egg of with a knife. I slice the top of my boiled eggs

3

We had egg cups when I was a child. I just peel them, maybe quarter them and put them on a plate with pepper and/or salt, depending on my mood that morning

3

When I soft-boil an egg, it's to make ajitsuke tamago for my homemade ramen. Certainly no need for an egg cup in that circumstance.

3

LOL you're a real card. Well you do admit that you sometimes need guidance, and I'm sure you have other redeeming features. Getting the points racked up any way. 😎😎😎

I have egg cups and live in America. Although I wasn’t born in America and it’s not my culture. Grew up eating soft boiled eggs and using egg cups though.

@helionoftroy whatvis an egg cup?

@Bigwavedave it’s a small cup that holds a soft boiled egg. You can google for an image.

I hate to disappoint you but I have egg cups.

Sounds rather boring no matter how you try to dress ot up

2

Never been a fan of soft-boiled eggs, instead preferring so many other options. Options make me happy!

What is a goog?

Soft or hard boiled chicken bum nuts anyone....LOL.
Bum nuts = Aussie slang term for chicken eggs.

I grew up calling them “cackle berries”

After several years spent in restaurants only 3 people ordered soft boiled eggs in my career. We had a box of egg cups and never used more than the one until that one was lost, so at one time they must have been popular. Most common order: fried over easy, then fried over medium, scrambled, basted then sunny side up. Soft boiled (3 min) isn't on the list unless you work where they serve eggs benedict, served on toast points without a cup. Truth is, the egg industry is rife with salmonella so I eat scrambled unless I know the source.

Actually, the eggs Benedict is more or less poached

I think you may have something there.
