Ribh's D'Coopage

When we packed up the kitchen, I packed up the only 2 egg cups I owned. I used to have some lovely ones I picked up in Cornwell but years of children mean they are no more. All that was left was 2 little plastic ones on legs.
So far they have not reappeared.
So I have been looking round for replacements.
Egg cups are really hard to find these days! Do people not eat boiled eggs any more?

Anyway I found these in one of those little gift shops that carry odd things.
I love how bright they are!
And they are sort of chicken...

They are very lovely. Mrs BY Bob will eat eggs like this but we also do not have any egg cups. I'm feeling an idea for a Christmas present coming on.

That's how it was with my Salmon Faverolle...she just sat there with or without eggs!

This i do not understand. At least one egg should be a requirement. It makes no sense.

lol I have been known to tease the Campines too. If I'm sneaky enough I can get in a good few strokes before they realise & jump like scalded cats!

Aurora must have super sensors. It is rare that I can even get a touch without her jumping away. It is like she has an early warning system that tells her before I even get close.

Grammy, how do you eat boiled eggs without an egg cup?

In a bowl is how Mrs BY Bob does it.

"try wiggling your tummy like this *wiggle*"

"like this? *wiggle*"

"no. Like this *wiggle*"

"oh! Like this you mean. *wiggle*"

"... Never mind."

Awesome.

They look like big duck eggs...

Another lesson learned.

No ~ but it will broaden your education to gross things like jam roly~poly, bread & butter pudding, tapioca, squabs, potted meat & spotted dick...

This post is going to require a lot of googling. Thanks.

 

[BY Bob]

Well... I guess you could call spotted dick a dessert... It's made with suet & currants & served with custard. The only edible bit in my book is the custard. Roly~poly is made with suet too.

I have nothing further to add.

Why look something up alone when you could ask someone and build up a friendship.

Now I agree with this.

I think the smell would give it away. Sprats are small & oily like sardines... It will niggle @ me now until I can find that quote & verify.

Why did I think squab was a small bird?
