I came across a survey about how people like their eggs, and for some reason it didn't include soft boiled. I thought that was weird, because I love soft boiled eggs, then I realised there must be people who have never tried one. So I made a thread about them so that an anon might discover a new joy in soft boiled eggs.

I love soft boiled eggs, but eating them the obnoxious wannabe posh british way is incredibly cringe.

What the absolute fuck are you talking about?
>obnoxious
>wannabe posh
I’m not even British and I think your statement is retarded. It’s a fucking egg. What’s “obnoxious” or “posh” about it?
And everyone knows the best way to enjoy a runny yolk is toast-dipping.
If anything, the “obnoxious wannabe posh british way” you’re crying about is literally optimized for maximum yolk-enjoyment. Hell, up until a couple generations ago, it was commonly eaten the same way in the US.

You seem so angry.
Most americans likely don't own egg cups nor could knock off the top of an eggshell with the edge of their spoon whatsoever.

OP, I like an over easy fried egg. I might serve it on top of buttered toast and enjoy with a knife and fork together, bite by bite. Will I slice my bread into long planks for soldiers like this guy, hell no. I'm not really using fingers when I dine in the AM.

>What’s “obnoxious” or “posh” about it?
Being served an unpeeled egg in a tiny container to eat with a tiny spoon is obnoxious. "Maximum yolk-enjoyment", I enjoy the yolk just fine breaking the egg over toast or eating it whole. In each of your pictures, there is yolk lost that runs down the sides of the egg container. Usually only brit faggots eat it like this, but I suppose non-brits of incredible faggotry like yourself would too.

[Anonymous No.18204949]

Correct

[Anonymous No.18204995]

>>18204878
It's comfy and it lets you dip the maximum length of toast finger. People make the yolk spill for photos but obviously you don't have to do that.

Are you done American-obsessing/seething now?
Eggcups were a standard household item until my grandparents’ generation. It’s almost like america was a direct descendant of England or something.

What do you want it served in?
A bucket? Perhaps laying loose on the table?

You can also enjoy crisps just fine by crushing them in the packet and pouring the crumbs into your mouth, but nobody would argue that it's the same as chewing a whole crisp.

very based thread, anon. I make chef john's "hard softboiled" eggs at least once a week, where you steam it past runny but still goopy. it's a pretty good way to get that fresh yolk flavor, prepared in advance and fridged if you like, but admittedly it isn't hot and runny.

If you really wanna go all out, make them the day before and marinate them (look up ramen eggs). It's delicious but once you start making them like that you can't go back to putting normal ones in your soup.

Unfortunately, not everyone gets to choose.
Some of us have hard water, and can only make hard-boiled eggs.
If you live in an area with soft water, think yourself lucky, and consider trading your eggs with others who don't have the privilege.

[Anonymous No.18207144]

how are you not going to get tiny bits of shell in your mouth?

[Anonymous No.18207626]

>>18207144
It's not really a problem, you peel the top and the egg the membrane keeps the remaining shell edge together. If you want to get really serious you can use one of these torture device looking things.

[Anonymous No.18207684]

>>18207626
Or you can just chop the top off with a butter knife like a normal person.

[Anonymous No.18208142]

>>18207684
I feel like that would just crush the egg unless it's one of the ones with a really thin shell. I enjoy the process of cracking the top and peeling it open while trying not to burn your thumb.

This is why everybody needs to experience dippy eggs. You people have not truly explored egg anatomy and simply have the wrong idea about the relationship between the shell, white, and inner yolk.

You can't tell time?
Boiling water is ALWAYS EXACTLY 212° (100° to communists).
Just pick a time, the egg will ALWAYS be done the same amount.

I guess I was supposed to say fully cooked, then. The whites are not fully cooked in OP's pic. There's not a clean line where the whites and yolk meet and the whites are mixing into the yolk. That's impossible if the white is fully cooked because the whites are solid when fully cooked.
