With the current government in the UK anything considered a "pleasure" by a large part of the population seems to be in the cross-hairs for a tax hike or a ban, possibly both. See also drinking, smoking, driving...
But this morning I found one that isn't (yet) banned or taxed (more then anything else). It is frowned upon though. Medical experts advise against it. Dietitians would shake their heads sadly..
But this is what you do. Get some water - clean, wholesome tapwater will do. Place it on the stove, bringing it to the boil as quickly as possible - can't possibly waste energy by taking your time.
While the water boils get out the fresh baked bread. Carefully cut yourself a couple of slices. Thin, but not too thin. Get out the butter-
Stop. I saw that. Get out the BUTTER, not margarine or some such synthetic stuff. The butter - salted butter. Yes, salt is bad and wrong, or so they claim - ignore them.
Place 3 eggs in the boiling water and start timing - three minutes, no more. Butter the bread and then cut it into strips, about three quarters of an inch wide.
Remove the soft boiled eggs (yes, this many eggs is bad for you - to much cholesterol, or so they say) and one at a time, remove the top. Break the yolk, adding a little salt if you only had "healthy slightly salted butter" - and then....oh, and then dip the bread into the egg before slowly eating...
Savour the lovely taste.
When you've finished the first egg, remember - you have two more.
