just one of those daft questions lol. My grandad always said my nan put the egg in the wrong way around.

Fat bottom in the egg cup. The egg beheader works better on the pointed end.
Not sure why, but we were brought up to up-end egg shell once it was empty and bash the fat bottom end!

Joanne,
I'd forgotten all about that empty shell bashing....We did that too.

Narrow end in first in the egg cup would wobble wouldn't it?

Wasn't it in Gulliver’s Travels, that tiny people are going to war with their neighbours over the right way to open a boiled egg - from the big or little end.

Not sideways ir it will fall over:)

We were taught to finish the egg, then turn it upside down to break the round end so the witches drowned.............no idea why, but I still do it! lol
