      Uggh, how could one dare to suggest that soft-boiled
eggs are opened with the large end up! Such a statement is
a call to war at the very least  |-).
      Perhaps we should do a regional study of egg-cooking 
habits. About 4 yrs. ago, I was billeting some guests from
N. Carolina and prepared soft-boiled eggs for breakfast. As 
I was coming back to the table after going for toast, etc.
I heard a cry of shock and disgust from one of my friends. It
seems that he had never heard of soft-boiled eggs and so, thinking
they were hard, he cracked one on the table and was opening it, only
to have the contents run everywhere. Shock.... Surprise....Disgust!

                    How eggs-citing,
                            Cameron
