Soft boiled egg

[mrsruffallo]

AIBU for being annoyed that I have just spent a weekend with friends who couldn't for the life of them make me a soft boiled egg for breakfast. One day it wa hard boiled, the next raw.
They argued that it was something that was hard to get right.

Outrageous. I hope you have told these so-called friends to fuck off to the far side of fuck then fuck off some more???! I am FURIOUS on your behalf.

Egg snot

I had a friend who managed as a student to manage to hard boil half an egg and have the other half remain raw. Now that takes some doing.

Wankers.

Mmm Soldiers...

Next time do what Price Charles does (allegedly) and get them to make you three, all with slightly different timings, so the chances are one will be ok.

Disgusting.

YABU to be annoyed when your friends have just (I'm assuming) put you up for the weekend and made you breakfast. I might be a bit that they couldn't figure out how to soft-boil an egg, and I'd at being served a raw egg for sure, but I think being annoyed is a step too far. They're your friends, not your personal chefs!

Here's a thought - make it yourself next time!

Boat? I would not boat. I would .

oh hang on a min. Prince Charles doesn't get them to make three, he gets them to make seven.

It doen't say much for their culinary prowess does it?
Is that true re PC? I wouldn't blame him. DC and I were quite confused.

Oh, he see he denies it and claims it's totally untrue.

I'm with Proud&Scary on this one, and have written to my MP to complain about the level of food production on offer when visiting friends in this country.

I have requested, and am waiting for confirmation, that they will be court martialled immediately and shot, as a message to all the craparse "hosts and hostesses" who have the cheek to try and provide a cooked breakfast for their friends who are living off their generosity for the weekend. Bastards.

It must be true, it's in the Daily Mail and they never make anything up, ever.

It's the done thing to make your guests breakfast isn't it?
They managed to mess up DH's egg white omlette too.

I may buy them Delia's book for Christmas!
Seriously, does anyone on her find it difficult to make a hot, runny, soft boiled egg?

Of course, Elderberrry. I am sure the truth will out.

Actually, I always make my egss hard-boiled so I wouldn't know off the top of my head how long to cook a soft-boiled egg. I'd guess 6 mins or so?

No, no more than 4.

this guide is foolproof

If you stay at mine, there'd be none of this soft boiled eggs for some people and egg white omelettes for others. Everyone gets the same (cooked) breakfast or they can help themselves to cereal. It is not a restaurant.

Oh dear - I hope you're not expecting another invitation to be their house guest again anytime soon.

I have an egg boiler which means my eggs are always perfect. Perhaps you could take one with you as a thank you for having us gift next time you visit.

This makes Christmas present buying much easier, you can buy them egg timers! :)

See, I was way off. Good thing I never have to make breakfast for you mrsruffallo
