    Egg and Soldiers - without bread!

    This is one for those who find bread ever so slightly boring when they dip it in their egg.

    You will need:
    1x griddle
    1x large pan
    1x kettle, full of water
    Salt
    Black Pepper (ground is fine)
    Vinegar (Malt)
    Olive oil
    Iceberg Lettuce
    2x Cherry Tomatoes
    2x Eggs (free range, of course)
    8x fresh fingers (Thumbs/Toes just will not do)

    Method:
    1) Boil the kettle, and empty the water into the Large Pan.
    2) Leave the Large Pan on the stove, to keep the water balancing between very hot/boiling.
    3) Add 2 pinches of salt, and a dash of vinegar, and give it a stir.
    4) Place the griddle on the stove, give it a splash of olive oil, and heat it upto a medium heat.
    5) Remove the nails from the fingers using a sharp knife. Leave as much skin on as possible (it may be tough, but it sure is yummy!).
    6) Place each finger onto the griddle, against the grain (so we achieve a nice chargrilled effect when cooked). Turn frequently, for 2-4 minutes, until cooked through.
    7) Whilst the fingers are cooking, finely chop a few leaves of the lettuce, and place on the centre of a plate.
    8) Place the fingers decoratively around the plate, so that they're all pointing in the direction of the centre.
    9) With the water in the Large Pan boiling, stir the water so that a mini-whirlpool occurs, and crack the eggs into the pan. Be sure that you keep them seperate. (And try not to get any shell in!)
    10) Keep stirring gently in a large circle to keep the eggs moving.
    11) When cooked, place the eggs on top of the lettuce, one leaning slightly on top of the other, and season with salt + pepper.
    12) Enjoy your meal! Whilst eating the fingers, it is best to put one in your mouth (as if you are sucking it), and scrape against it with your teeth - avoid swallowing the bone.

    Disclaimer:- This post was made in jest. It is completely fictional, and no research whatsoever into canniblism has taken place by the chef or Hexus.net itself. No fingers were harmed in the making of this post.
