The Burning Question*: Hard-boiled or soft-boiled eggs?

Let TheJournal.ie distract you from the ‘serious’ news with one of life’s REAL dilemmas. (*not really)

WE KNOW HOW you feel. It’s Monday, you have the whole week looming ahead, and you have a lot on your plate.

So do like we do here in TheJournal.ie HQ and get stuck into a serious debate on one of life’s most pressing issues.

Possibly.

This week: “Hard-boiled eggs are a sin.” That is the statement uttered in TheJournal.ie HQ this morning that got this particular debate going.

So where are you on the issue? Must your boiled eggs be runny to the max…
