On the first night, while navigating themselves to the rendezvous they stopped off at a pub, met the local poacher and arranged to buy a deer off him. They got top marks off the instructor for initiatve, as the next day's task was going to be finding their evening meal. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4505#post-12691 Fri, 14 May 2010 19:21:16 +0000 PluckyMunky 12691@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Was that Queen Street in our own Cardiff, Mr Reporter?</p> <p>I should mock.

'Worken on' is a nice phrase, Mr Imodo.</p> <p>Are you related to the Imodium family, of diarrhea treatment fame?

(2007) Four Thousand Methods of Cooking Ostrich Eggs on Mount Kilamanjaro: an essential primer, Stanley Thornes, Gloucester. The man does sound a bit of a bum-hole, though. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4505#post-12667 Fri, 14 May 2010 15:59:21 +0000 andhrimnir 12667@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Cheers Mr and Mrs M.

Bastard. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4505#post-12665 Fri, 14 May 2010 15:50:17 +0000 PluckyMunky 12665@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Oh dear. I was just trying to help the neophyte egg cooker. It would be impossible to list all the variables (size of pan,type of egg, size of egg, amount of water, ways of putting egg in water etc.) If you need these sorts of details, you need Myerscough, J. (2009) The Science of Egg Cooking (3 vols), Routledge, London. Its an introductory work but useful.</p> <p>Me and Mrs Munky have started on the Chardonnay. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4505#post-12663 Fri, 14 May 2010 15:35:04 +0000 andhrimnir 12663@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I'm an hour in front Scroatster - and it's never too early. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4505#post-12662 Fri, 14 May 2010 15:34:42 +0000 MrChigleysAunt 12662@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I agree that you shouldn't shell eggs. But peas are a different matter - they need to shelled back to the stone age. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4505#post-12655 Fri, 14 May 2010 15:12:22 +0000 The All New Jeni B 12655@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Of course, if your eggs are kept at room temperature, it doesn't matter what temp the water is. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4505#post-12654 Fri, 14 May 2010 15:10:29 +0000 Scroat 12654@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>If you prick the rounded end with a pin (or a fancy egg pricker) it stops it cracking 100% of the time.</p> <p>Isn't it a bit early Sooty? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4505#post-12650 Fri, 14 May 2010 14:56:20 +0000 brownpaperreporter 12650@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>where's me gun?</p> <p>Also to prevent egg split add a tad of vinegar to boiling water and then insert egg </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4505#post-12640 Fri, 14 May 2010 14:15:56 +0000 andhrimnir 12640@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Dear The Reporter, a snipers rifle would surely be more discriminatory not less?</p> <p>Dear Mr Thesecond, fresh eggs not cold water is what is required. Hygroscopy, water and all that.</p> <p>Dear Munkster, "until cooked" is far too vague.

I always start with cold water. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4505#post-12638 Fri, 14 May 2010 14:03:30 +0000 brownpaperreporter 12638@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I did wonder how the logistics of shelling an egg, at some distance I might add, would have been possible in a breakfast hour</p> <p>You would need to retire to a very safe distance once the guns go off </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4505#post-12637 Fri, 14 May 2010 13:47:35 +0000 PluckyMunky 12637@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It isn't that sort of shelling, really, Mr Reporter. Its a sort of shorthand for 'take the shell off the egg'. I do hope you don't take a rifle to breakfast. Perhaps I should have made things more clear. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4505#post-12636 Fri, 14 May 2010 13:43:44 +0000 brownpaperreporter 12636@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I prefer a snipers rifle.

Put an egg in a pan of boiling water,<br /> 2. Boil until cooked,<br /> 3. Remove from pan and shell before eating. </p>
