I had a surplus of eggs and what I like to do when that happens is boiling a handful of them. This time, it was four. After they cooled I used two to add to my salad. The other two I put where I've learned to put them from my mother: the cutlery drawer.
That is right: I put boiled eggs in the cutlery drawer. My mother apparently learned that from her mother in law. I do not know where my grandma has got it from, but thinking about it now I would really love to know. Sadly, I never asked and she has been dead for a long time now.
The thing I love so much about this, is that it is a family tradition. I love family traditions. There are so many unique and simultaneously perfectly reasonable ways to do the mundanest things! Like where to put yet to be eaten boiled eggs. Or, how to eat them.
I think most people eat them with salt. I know of some to eat them with mustard. What my family likes to do is sprinkle a few drops of Maggi sauce on them. Yumm! In my book, that's the best way to eat a single boiled egg. And one that has got me more than just a few weird looks from people. LOL I also like to slice them and put them on a piece of bread with some butter or mayo. That is just a simple egg sandwich, but I have got weird looks for that, too.
Do you have unique family traditions? Also, if you eat eggs, how do you like to eat them?
