BOILED EGGS BETRAY THEM
Nationality Of Diners 10 Shown In
Their Various Method Of
Eating.

Sherlock Holmes might have figured
this out, but he did not!
The average Englishman will al
ways demand his egg boiled just
three minutes, then he places it in an
egg cup, just large enough to have
the. egg fit it, taps the top Of tho
shell, and removes the broken shell
with his fingers. The egg is eaten a
spoonful at a time.
A Frenchman, much like the Eng
lishman. likes his eggs of three min
utes. exactly. He then "peels" them,
places them in glass, stirs and
mixes well together with salt, pepper
and butter. He makes a practice Of
dipping bread into the mixture. and
eating 1t along with the eggs.
A Spaniard wouldn't think of letting
his egg boil more than one minute.
He then breaks 1t, and lets the con-
tents run into glass. and consumes
it as II he were drinking q glass Of
wine.
An egg is only At in an Italians
estimation when 1t has been placed
in cold water. and removed Just as
the water beings to boil. He then
breaks it, pours 1t on plate, and
proceeds to sop it up with bread.
The German, like the Italian, do
mands his eggs as near the liquid
state as possible. He breaks his eggs
in an unsightly cup, and scoops the
liquid out as If 1t were soup.
The American is about the only one
who prefers his eggs boiled hard
When they are served up to him, he
k9ifes them in half. removes the con-
tents into glass, after which he
adds a plentiful supply of pepper, but
ter and salt. He then minces the
eggs fine, mixing them well with tho
spices, and eats them with his toast
