Love my Eggs too cappy! (Now now John) LOL
possibly unlike you at Sea we had Eggs in abundance and I always had at least three Fried Sunny Side up for Brekkie, after feeding the Starving Bloods LOL
Eggs have now been cleared as the naughty Breakfast ,not that it ever worried me. I still have Two Sunny Side up Eggs for Brekkie with Fried Tomatoes on toast! Cheers Yummy! Love those soft Boiled too,but think I can get them just right! No way Hosay! LOL

Re: victuals
I get the duck eggs locally here, stronger flavour than chickens, really nice, also free range chicken from the same source. The favourite way to have my tomatoes for breakfast this time of year when i have my own in the garden, is to slice them on to a tray, salt , pepper , brush on copious olive oil and then into the oven for half an hour, delicious, try it, kt

Re: victuals
This may not be relevant ,but talking of eggs believe me this is true.As one of four kids during late forties we as a family we used to brambling while out once we came across a hens nest near a farm she the hen had gone broody and was what's known as laying away.this was about 4miles from where we lived ,my mum bless her cotton socks rode an old sit up and beg bike every 3days there and back and making sure nobody saw her collected the eggs this went on for about 2weeks before presumably the farmer must have found the broody hen some memories are precious aren't they happy days

Tonight SHE fried an egg it was a double yoke, then SHE did another and that was a double yoke, then SHE did another, and That was a double yoke,
Three doubles Yokes. all at once.
