Nope, not making it up, that is absolutely true.

Marvellous isnt it?

The idea of doing that in some sort of carriage carried on the shoulders of colonials during the rise of the Empire is a dream I dare not dream.
The prince of Wales disagrees with you

Does The Prince of Wales have seven boiled eggs cooked for his breakfast but only eat one, as claimed in Jeremy Paxman’s book “On Monarchy”?
No, he doesn't and never has done, at breakfast or any other time.
And that arbiter of good taste the daily mail also has a view.

Sorry.

So two writers have said he does and two spokespeople have said he doesnt.

I'd personally rather that he did.

If he doesnt, he should start.

i think it would be better if he handpicked his eggs forma selection put in front of him pre cooking every day, and then have them boiled at intervals.

Pink!
I do rather like when I order any meat in a restaurant and am informed "it is cooked pink, is that ok sir?", rather than "how would you like your beef/venison/lamb sir?"

I like my steak to be cooked all the way through.

but not burnt or like shoe leather.


like, nice and brownish on the outside but with a tiny bit of pink in the middle.

now what I did the other day. was spend the best part of a tenner on a steak, cook that wack it on my plate and have a small mound of chips on the side. and that covered the plate, completely.

cant remember what type of steak it was, might have been rump, but it was niiiiiice.

so thats, plate size steak, and 17 chips. [oh and a little bit of reggea reggea tomato sauce for the chips]

Out of curiosity, when ordering a blue steak, how many people ask for 'bloo' and how many ask for 'bleugh' like a Frenchie?

Funny aside: In Germany they refer to "bleu" as "englisch"!

Seems they have little experience with typical overcooked English meats!
