Who actually uses egg cups? I’ve seen them on TV and in films, but I’ve never seen them used IRL

As a Brit, even I think eggs and soldiers are pointlessly ceremonial. It's like it's just meant to make less mess than eggs on toast.

My family used them when I was growing up, but only for soft-boiled, obviously. As an adult on my own, on the rare occasions I've cooked soft-boiled eggs for dipping, I've either just used a piece of foil coiled into a ring to hold it up or used a demitasse because I cba to actually buy egg cups.

My grandfather on my mothers side used them but he died in 1973, got caught in a hurricane building a church and a wall fell over him.

It teaches table manners, etiquette, responsibility, restraint, calmness, delicacy, appreciation.

The English have no food culture? Egg and Soldiers is the epitome of English food culture. Get lost bigots.

We use them all the time in the U.K. Or at least everyone has at least one. Can be chipped and forgotten in the back of cupboard somewhere, but they’re very common.

How the fuck else do you make dipper eggs (soft-boiled eggs with toast cut into strips for dipping)?

Remember in England when you could buy an Easter Egg that came with a mug and an egg cup?

I had a Cadbury's one, can't remember what the chocolate bar it was. Do they still offer mugs and egg cups in Easter Eggs? I used to love them. Get some tea and a boiled egg, then have the chocolate for afters.

We use them in Norway + Sweden + Denmark
But its for serving the egg to be eaten with a spoon, and salting/peppering as you go along.
Its a novelity to eat the egg differently.

I would argue egg slicer + rye flatbread is the superior way to eat eggs. With some added smørgåsbord ingredients on top, for extra luxury.

Ceremony is never pointless. Ritual acts hone a person's discipline.
