BLEURGH!
Egg beat up in a cup, we called it. I hate it. It makes me want to boke. It's just the wrong consistency or something. Any other form of the same ingredients is fine.

what is it?

The clue is in the name.

This was something of a long running joke on /talk for a while

I gathered the egg is beaten in a cup
but how is it cooked?

or is it a boiled egg chopped up and mixed about in a cup?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:10, Reply)

Cooked?
With HEAT, one would assume.
( Cawl, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:12, Reply)

do try not to make yourself look like an idiot
there are a number of quite different ways of cooking an egg
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:14, Reply)

I'm pretty sure they all involve heat though.
Am I right? What's that? Yes I am? Oh good.

I don't think you can cook an egg
With cold.
So, yeah, heat.
( Cawl, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:17, Reply)

Aye,
boiled egg chopped up with butter, salt and pepper. In a cup. It may actually be the cup bit that disturbs me. I could probably handle it if it was in, say, a small bowl.
( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:12, Reply)

have you been traumatised by a cup at some point?
this has reminded me of a recipe.

line a ramekin with parma ham, crack in a couple of eggs, pour on some double cream, salt, pepper, chives, maybe a sprinkling of cheese and bake in the oven till the egg white is cooked and yolk is runny.

fucking awesome

I don't think I can bring myself to talk about it yet.

Was there just
One cup?

Oh, she's let you out has she?

I had to stand over him this morning and force him to send out his CV.
If he gets an interview it's because of my cunning Word formatting.
( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:30, Reply)

I should hope so to.
Everyone needs their mum to check their CV before it goes out.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:32, Reply)

And then I made him some egg beat up in a cup.

( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:32, Reply)

You beat him up in a cup?
You evil harpy.

Don't tempt me.
It's been his turn to clean the bathroom for 4 days now.

Hey!
You wanna come do unemployed things with me, like break the aerials off shiny new Mercs, then use them to smoke drugs?
( Cawl, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:28, Reply)

I was going to call you yesterday and suggest this weekend
But CHCB told me you're moving so I decided not to bother.

How does sometime next week sound?
( Captain V, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:31, Reply)

Stop having fun without me!
I'm so lonely in London now with only becky and clenders and DIT to amuse me.

Hahaha!
This reminds me, I need to start arranging my Halloween Party.
( Cawl, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:35, Reply)

You can go out to play as soon as you've fixed the washing machine leak.

( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:33, Reply)

As in "next week when we're going to that gig"?
You can come over earlier, if you like.
( Cawl, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:33, Reply)

I meant sometime during the week
Earliest I can really do would be this weekend but you're moving.

CHCB informs me that I'm being a grumpy bastard today. Apparently "I mean sometime during the week" sounds somehow grumpy.

I'm off again - house rearranging to do!
( Captain V, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:35, Reply)

May I also inform you that the bathroom is not self-cleaning?

( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:36, Reply)

This whole adjacent-desk thing is great. I can yell at you and type at you at the same time.

( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:37, Reply)

I have no idea what you're talking about.
Have fun arguing though :p

I SO have a job for you.
I'll gaz you.
( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:38, Reply)

Ok...
EDIT: I can't kill anyone, or I'll fail my CRB.

I'm off the graph.

When you're little and too poorly to dunk soldiers in a soft boiled egg,
your Mum chops the soldiers into dainty squares, in a cup, with chopped egg so you can eat it feably with a teaspoon.

But do you mash it with a fork, or a knife
and is it consumed with salt, pepper, or brown sauce? We need to know!?

In fact, How would Ronnie James Dio have his?

he eats eggs whole

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:14, Reply)

I think he has the dragons fire
to cook them for his Rock 'n' Roll Children.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:15, Reply)

I think he eats devilled eggs.

( crackhouseceilidhband Fuck off back to Mumsnet, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:17, Reply)

I reckon that sometimes
when he fancies a midnight snack he races down to the all night garage as fast as he can to get the eggs. This is the real reason why he Speeds at Night.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:21, Reply)

Daintily chopped, no mashing required.
A bijou sprinklette of salt if you wish, and if the egg yolk isn't sufficiently runny you can add a large knob of butter.
