Let's have a polite discussion about egg cups

this would imply that I eat eggs.
I don't gustate on such an unhealthful food.

How do you not get bits of shell in it while eating it using only a spoon? Wouldn't it be better to just eat a peeled boiled egg or just poach one? Is it because you love tradition?

>> No.16870176

>>16870138
wait are you not supposed to peel it beforehand
what's the point of these, then? did medieval europeans not know how to peel a boiled egg?

Use a teaspoon, and be more graceful than a pregnant yak.

So it stays upright while dipping. You may not like it, but that's what peak performance looks like.

even in the early 20th century eggs were not as cheap so they often cooked them very soft to get the most flavor. almost like a desert pudding. They were about as rare as a full bath.

That's 2 pieces of bread and and 3 eggs. That's two (2) slices of bread that has been rationed into portions to give it the appearance of greater volume and just 3 (3) eggs that have been boiled - the most primitive method of egg preparation.

This is very glaringly a "meal" born from desperation and scarcity. This is all that this Brit could afford to eat as his dinner. However, the Brit lies to himself and frames these literal crumbs, which is all that he can afford, as an elegant experience. Notice the simple metal spoon, the boring white plate, and the laughable cup designed specifically for this purpose. Note the snarky nature by which he discusses this "meal". Note the pretentious name, "egg and soldiers". All of this serves to fulfill the Brit's delusion that he enjoys abundance and wealth - all while he is forced to consume a single egg and a single slice of bread as his dinner.

This is a harrowing, shocking and outright revolting look into the mind of the Brit. A literal bottom-feeder forced by poverty to sustain himself on crumbs and morsels, yet touting himself to be the model of eloquence and grandeur. This is the definition of the British mindset, and it should serve as an example of what happens when a nation collectively loses touch with reality.

Whoever wrote that made a mistake calling the name pretentious. Grandiloquent, maybe, in that the evocation exceeds the form, but such childish framing could never be considered pretentious.

Huh. Makes sense.

I learned a new word today, and it is awesome. I love that it's recursive. A word to describe pompous extravagant language intended to impress, which is itself pompous, extravagant, and used with the intention to impress. Simply delicious. God bless the English language.
