Boiled eggs with soldiers

Someone asked me recently what boiled eggs and soldiers are. You know, google is very good for answering questions like that (see?! :)). Anyway, here’s a photo from the 13th October. I love my boiled eggs very soft – more liquid than solid – they have to be fairly soft to facilitate the successful dunking […]
