...is the material item that elevates me to Adult Status?

I thought it was my little glovebox first aid kit but no, it’s the teeny spoon just for my boiled eggs.

I don't know what an egg spoon is. I am clearly not an adult.

I have no knowledge of tiny spoons for boiled eggs. I favour a spoon with a broad curve that can sweep around a boiled egg and retrieve it practically whole. For me, adult status was granted when I bought a trivet to put hot pans on.

I felt the same way when I finally got a full set of matching crockery 😉

An egg spoon? I thought this was going to be about an egg and spoon race.

Mine are like this - better than an ordinary teaspoon.

I feel a little disappointed whenever i have a boiled egg away from home and the hotel has no egg spoon!

I also have an egg pricker to make sure the egg doesnt split a d ruin the egg or make the pan dirty. 6 minutes once pricked from room temperature is perfection for me!

I have an egg spoon that goes with my egg cup! Does that make me more of an adult? Or possibly less.....??

I have little coffee spoons I bought to use for eggs. I was a bit dischuffed the woman in the shop said to me "Madam does realise these are coffee spoons".

I obviously looked like a heathen who would use them for eggs Grin

Bugger, no photo

Eggs in cold water, brought to the boil then simmered for 4 minutes. Just right.

Butchyrestingface · 12/07/2019 21:51

I felt this way when I bought travel cutlery.

I is proper adulting at last. 😊

I have a canteen of wondrous cutleru. It gas tiny spoons. Appatently these are claddifiex as both egg or coffee spoons. We have numerous weapons/implements in it. I have to admit even I'm not sure what on earth some are for.
I think my samurai style Damascus steel japanese knives are my most grown up items. No one else is allowed to touch those!

Tony Robinson had a egg spoon from his childhood, he buried it near the source of the Thames as an offering to the river.

No egg spoons are given with silver egg cups as christening gifts, so a thing of the nursery. Nothing to do with adulthood.
