EGGS.
They’re a versatile ingredient.
You can make all sorts of culinary delights with the humble egg — French toast, omelettes, huevos rancheros — and you can eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
But which type of egg is the best egg? Scrambled, boiled, fried or poached?
Let’s investigate.
Scrambled eggs
When they’re done right, they’re absolutely delicious — a comforting breakfast like no other.
Buttime it wrong and you could end up with a gloopy mess on your plate.
Or, worse, this:
Whoops!

And there’s nothing more disappointing than bad scrambled eggs.
Fried eggs
An integral part of any Irish breakfast and a welcome addition to almost any meal.
Just look at (a) all the stuff you can pair it with and (b) how photogenic it is!
Divine.
Boiled egg
The boiled egg is an old reliable.
You can eat it for breakast, throw it into a salad or put it in a sandwich.
But they also smell rank and have ruined many a bus journey.
Whoops!

So there’s that.
Poached eggs
Poached eggs are undoubtedly delicious and a solid brunch choice.
But they’re also a little bit notions-y and difficult to perfect at home, meaning you probably have to pay €11 to enjoy a decent one.
So, tell us, Ireland: which egg do you prefer?
