On the PBS broadcast of "The Gondoliers" last night, one of the characters (the tenor - Marco, I think, but I have trouble telling them apart) eats a soft-boiled egg for breakfast. There is a peculiar double egg cup, a U-shaped affair five or six inches across, with an egg in each end (Giuseppe, on the other end, is too busy singing to eat his egg). Marco uses opening method #1, and eats the egg by dipping in strips of toast.

The strips of toast are called "soldiers", although I don't know why, but this is truly the best way to eat a boiled egg. Penny Muncaster-Jewell p.s I prefer the slice off the top with a knife for opening eggs. Also now is just the right time of year to enjoy that little known delicacy the Cadbury Chocolate egg.
