Poached? Pickled? Boiled? Scrambled (obviously the best)? Fried? Or in an omelette? You can list as many egg cooking techniques as you like, but its undeniable eggs are the best breakfast, lunch – damn, even dinner – you can get anywhere in the world.

    1. That IS concerning. Perhaps reaching out to someone might be your best option. Make yourself busy. Start a fast food kebab store.

    1. 15 out of 15! Not half bad. Particular congratulations on 11 (most people went for Angry Birds 1). Think it’s good enough for second place… One day you’ll defeat Fraggle and get number one!
