Do you ever eat boiled eggs with soldiers

[Morning Glory]

I could eat that for breakfast. I suspect the prep time would be quite lengthy, so I agree with @buckytom - an appetite for at least two eggs would be worked up. Do you know what the crumbs beneath the eggs made of?

Click on link for recipe - but the crumb is the same as coating the egg: saffron crumb:

Do you have a small pile of salt on the plate to initially dip your soldiers and then the spoon for recovering the egg white?

My doctor has advised me to go easy on the salt.

I am lucky. I don't have a doctor.

I prefer my eggs poached or over easy, then put on top of really good corned beef hash. Love the yolk flowing into the hash and a side of rye toast.

I like the chicken on the wire one.

Looks like it's sitting on a giant egg.

Egg curry is good too - and vegetarian.

I occasionally enjoy a egg and mayonnaise sarnie.

And I usually eat a hard boiled egg with a curry.
