Boiled eggs are a breakfast staple. Be it a soft, melt-in-the-mouth egg or a hard-boiled one, they go effortlessly with toasted breads, salads, or sometimes with just a sprinkle of salt and pepper. But when you are served boiled eggs at a restaurant, your first thought probably is, “Am I going to make a mess?” Well, you are not alone. The shell is indeed one of the biggest challenges to deal with before you relish the eggs. Often, they refuse to peel smoothly, leaving the bits and pieces stuck to the white inside. If this is stopping you from having boiled eggs in public, then television actress and presenter Caterina Valentino has a solution for you.
She posted a video on Instagram demonstrating the correct etiquette for eating a boiled egg at a restaurant. The clip begins with Caterina trying to remove the shell in the typical way — hitting it on the table and peeling it off. Next, she places the boiled egg in an egg cup and scrapes the top part with a knife. Both methods are wrong.
