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.

well done

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.

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

*cup flashbacks*
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.
( Bazongaloid, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:33, Reply)

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.
( Bazongaloid, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:33, Reply)

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
( Cawl, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:37, Reply)

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.
( Cawl, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 14:38, Reply)

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.
