Egg in egg cup - which way up?

[bobh]

OK guys time to help settle an argument.

My other half reckons you should put an egg in an egg cup with the pointy end down, however me being a sensible person, I know that this is complete rubbish and that an egg should be blunt end down.

What do you think, are you a pointy end down lunatic or a perfectly normal and level headed person who knows instinctively that the only way an egg can go in an egg cup is blunt end down.

She is wrong, everybody knows that! Unless you only have a big spoon, then she's right!

Fat end down mate. There is no other way unless you're a psychopathic mentalist

Tell her to try laying it on its side to eat it, that's meeting her half way, & would be a reasonable compromise!

Pointy side up!

Normally eat boiled eggs without an egg cup. Chicken eggs just aren't big enough to warrant holding it in place in cup made for purpose and duck/goose eggs, well they just don't make egg cups that big. But if you must have an answer and let's face it, you have asked the question. I'd say it has to be sideways. That way you can choose where best to open and go from there. But maybe I'm just awkward.

 

P.S. I like coddled eggs mixed with a few drops of soy sauce, lightly mixed and drunk.

Now I'm not sure.....

 

Pointy side up and if you don't cut enough off you can't get the soldiers in to dip. And end up with shell on the toast, pointy side down would combat this, but the yolk is normally at the blunt end so cutting into it means you cut into the yolk......

 

Argh the decisions, I can't make my mind up... Damn you bob, damn you.

I normally keep the egg UP, and the eggcup DOWN.

Seems to work for me.

PS

The Germanic bred Mrs. got these cunning Teutonic Thomas egg cups, with a built in saucer to catch the yolk spillage after over exurberent soldier dunking.

Dammned Germans always playing with their soldiers I suppose.

Or am I getting old?
