Today is World Egg Day
- Fried
- Boiled

It is ironic that something as wonderful as an egg should come from something as creepy as a chicken. I am of course aware that other creatures lay eggs but it’s the humble hen’s egg that’s the most satisfying (also as determined by people).
Many US presidents have commented about eggs:
“The egg is the ultimate creation in nature, I keep one in my hat at all times.” — George Washington.
“I hope our constitution is like an egg; oval and eggy.” — Abraham Lincoln.
“Leave my trousers alone and fry me an egg instead, Monica.” — Bill Clinton.
“What’s an egg?” — Donald Trump.
One shocking fact is that every US president has said the word ‘egg’.
Happy World Egg Day, everyone. Go on, you know you want one.
