In The Telegraph recently, it is reported that "using sophisticated maths and a process known as data mining, scientists have uncovered a statistical relationship between a person's character, lifestyle and social class and whether they like their eggs boiled, fried, scrambled or as an omelette.

In the new study, the research team found that

- "poached egg eaters are outgoing, listen to upbeat music and are happier

- boiled egg consumers are disorganised

- fried egg fans have a high sex drive

- scrambled egg aficionados are guarded, and

- omelette eaters are self-disciplined."

Also,it was discovered that:

- "the average poached egg-eater is likely to have two children and no more than one sibling and is more likely to be a woman than a man

- boiled egg-eaters have a tendency to be careless and impulsive

- fried egg-eaters are most likely to be younger and male and most frequently found among the skilled working classes

- scrambled egg-eaters are more likely than other types to be in managerial or senior-level jobs and also to own their own home, and

- omelette eaters are likely to have a tidy home."

So which are you?

I didn't see anything about microwaving your egg in a little butter til it's just barely done and a little fluffy. I think they need to go back to their study and add some parameters. I do boil eggs now and then to have for egg salad and to add a cooked egg to an otherwise boring plain salad. Careless and impulsive? Impulsive yes. But I do care about stuff. Sometimes too much.

Cheers,
