What would you assume if someone asked you for this?

Light-hearted one for a Sunday morning. Settle something between me and my husband.

If you asked someone what they want to eat, and they said "boiled eggs and toast" what would you give them?

YABU - Boiled eggs, in eggcups with toast cut into soldiers IE: boiled eggs and soldiers
YANBU - Boiled eggs (shelled) and slices of toast, because that's what they asked for

I would probably clarify with them if they meant egg and soldiers before I made anything. I would assume egg and soldiers though.

Boiled dippy egg and soldiers because I would assume someone who wanted hard boiled and shelled would specify hard boiled eggs.

Dippy eggs with soldiers is the food of the gods.

Anything else is madness, surely?

You can have soft boiled and shelled. Noone said they had to be hard boiled

I'd ask, do you mean boiled eggs and soldiers?

It would depend on who the person was and wether I knew what they meant

If it was my toddler I would know, if it was a visiting guests I'd clarify

I like an easy life so wouldn't waste headspace guessing

I put YANBU but now I’m not sure.

in our house we’d ask for eggs in egg cups so it’s more specific.

so I think I’d need more detail!!

Neither of your suggestions.

What they asked for: boiled eggs and toast. I would put the boiled eggs into egg cups though. Otherwise they roll around.

The toast would be slices of, not cut up; if they are an adult they can cut the toast how they like.

They would roll around if they're shelled and cut on half.

Dippy eggs and soldiers.

Even if they meant they wanted something different, nobody is going to be disappointed to receive dippy eggs and soldiers.

Yanbu

I'd ask for dippy eggs & shoulders as that's what they are called in this house.

This ^ for me
However I would always specify how long they wanted their eggs to boil for, because people might want it differently on different days.
Toast would be just that - a slice of bread .

Own up, who are the dip shits on this thread doing hard boiled eggs with slices of toast?

They said and, not on.

I’d make boiled dippy eggs in egg cups with buttered toast cut in to soldiers. Never known anyone to have an actual boiled egg next to toast.

I would clarify what they meant

Yes, this is what I would do. I would never cut someone’s toast into soldiers, unless they specified, but the eggs would be put in eggcups.

It would definitely be dippy eggs and soldiers.

I am staying well out of this domestic dispute OP.

Either a poached egg on toast or dippy egg and soldiers

Just asked dh. He would expect toast with an egg on top.

Why would you give them poached when they asked for boiled eggs?

2 soft boiled eggs in egg cups with two slices of toast for them to cut as they wish.

Gosh, I would never expect someone to shell a soft-boiled egg. Is that even a thing?!
If the egg was soft-boiled, I would expect egg to be in a cup with the toast as soldiers for the dipping thereof. So I am voting the YABU option.
