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.
