Dippy eggs all the way in our house...and we're all grownups.

Never used it heard of ‘dippy’ eggs. It’s a boiled egg or hard boiled egg. I love eggs anyway apart from poached. No idea why but poached eggs make me heave. Will happy eat fried, scrambled, soft boiled, hard boiled, smashed in a cup....not poached!!

Fluffyears i dont mind poached as long as the white is cooked. DH and I stayed in a B&B when I was pg and my poached eggs came out with runny whites. I had to excuse myself to vomit profusely.

I can't believe no one's mentioned putting miso on the toast yet!

I'm 56 & distinctly remember an egg advert in which the punchline was "Ah said fried, or boiled" in a faux posh, northern accent. The bloke the woman said it to had just been in a reverie about all the different ways you could enjoy eggs cooked. It was probably late 60s or early 70s

It was a student in his digs cheapskate - His landlady (Mrs Burridge, if I recall rightly) asked him if he wanted his egg fried or boiled then we went into his mind for his egg-related fantasies, and he dreamily said "Eggs en cocotte, please, Mrs Burridge" and she snapped - "Is that fried or boiled?" She had a head square like Flo Capp, a flowery pine and an expression that would curdle milk.
