How do you boil an egg?
Although I really enjoy cooking, I couldn't boil a soft boiled egg for you, even if my life depended on it.
The problem is, you can ask whoever you like, how to boil an egg and you will get a different answer every time.
I know because I recently asked and almost rekindled the civil war which originally separated the two halves of Appenzell.

Now, at last, help is at hand. As of autumn this year you will be able to go to the supermarket and purchase soft boiled eggs, or hard boiled - as you prefer.

Our very own Lion Quality Eggs are to be printed with an invisible, heat sensitive ink. You will be able to drop your eggs into hot water, boiling water or cold water - which ever your preferred method is - and when your egg is just right for you to dip your toasted soldiers into, the ink will appear to inform you of the fact!

And no, it is not April the first!
