..I always thought was an egg, coming as it does already in an easy to open 'pack'.
But for some boiling an egg fir a few minutes is just too complicated so responding to demand a company has launched a new product - Dippy Egg, the perfect convenience food for dippy people...
The egg is inside its own cup sat in a 'former' to protect it that can be used as an egg cup, there will also be a top and a shrink wrap no doubt.
No you need to read the instructions very carefully.... They go something like this.
Remove the egg from the paper and plastic packaging then return it to the cup.
Boil water - its that wet stuff you get from a tap, pour it into a kettle (usually a tall thing with a spout) you will need to plug it into a wall socket, turn it on and find a switch on the kettle, turn that on too.
When the kettle has boiled - you will know when that is because hot steam will come out of the kettle, it will be making a noise and the switch will have clicked off..... You pour the hot water into the cup covering the egg.
You then have to leave it 10 minutes. To do this you need to time puring the water until the big hand on the clock is at 12, pour the freshly boiled water, then wait until the big hand is on 2.
Then your egg will be ready but be careful the water and egg will be hot so remove the egg carefully.
Put it into the 'former', tap the top to break the shell and carefully remover shell pieces before eating.
There you are - simple.... how to make a convenient food even less convenient, time consuming and complicated.
the next product from the Dippy Egg people - dippy bread, ready buttered bread cut into convenient soldiers for you....
No eggs were harmed during the writing of this post....
