07/11/2009: "Pre-boiled eggs soon to be available in UK supermarkets"

In time for summer picnics, the ready-hard-boiled egg will soon be available in Asda and Waitrose. Each egg will cost 45p and it is, says Rob Newell of the Happy Egg Company, "the perfect solution for people who love free-range eggs but don't have the time or knack to prepare a boiled egg".

The time or knack? It makes you weep. I'm all for labour-saving but anyone too busy or too stupid to boil an egg has serious problems. If you think you need a pre-boiled egg - or pre-peeled fruit, stock in a bag or ready-to-heat mashed potatoes - what you really need is some heavy-duty therapy or a week in a darkened room, listening to Debussy.

[ More and more people than ever now lack basic skills such as cookery, and are so dumbed down in intelligence that boiling an egg becomes too much of a challenge for them. We need eugenics! ]
