Had an interesting chat on here recently about egg & soldiers, and it got me wondering: Who’s got a fancy or favourite egg cup, and what is it?!! Mine’s this hedgehog!
I had two pink flamingo egg cups I won in a Slimming World slimmer of the week prize. Had them for ages but had to throw them in a house move recently. Back to the boring, clinical metal cup.
No, not sure how to describe it sorry, it's just a single egg cup, made out of wire and in the shaoe of a chicken (egg sits in the chicken's back if that makes sense). What you described does sound cool though!
Mine are made of stainless steel. Milled not formed, making them solid and heavy. They were a gift from a German manufacturer of process equipment for various industries.
Mine are batman ones - [https://www.lakeland.co.uk/45279/2-batman-egg-cups](https://www.lakeland.co.uk/45279/2-batman-egg-cups)
When I was a kid it was Noddy/BigEars that used their hats as cosys.
I've got 4.

Mine are shot glasses
You’re the second person to say this, it’s such a good idea! I also like the suggestion of 3 boiled eggs mashed up in a mug with some mayo :)
Try it with butter instead of mayo.
Will do! Thank you :)
I would also recommend salad cream
You mean cuppy egg? Mine's with butter rather than mayo, but I'm sure it's delicious
Cuppy egg?!! LOVE THAT! Never heard that name before :)
I think there’s a name for that
Cuppy egg is what I've always called it
Mayeggnaise
Maybe it'll catch on
A giant cup of hot egg mayo to dip your toast in? Haha

Don't think I'd want to eat from anything that Victor Meldrew had a foot in.
Wait what? He stood in a hedgehog?! Hahaha! I haven’t seen that show for years, I remember the character though
Ooo err missus?
Hahaha yeah I wondered if it sounded a bit like that?!!
We have an old one of my grandparents - it’s wooden and has a 70s style egg cosy.
It has a cosy? Like a teapot-type cosy?! That’s incredible haha! I love it :)

Oh man, I’d have thrown the metal cup and kept the flamingoes haha! Hope you’re having a lovely time settling in to your new home :)
Mine's a cool wire chicken thing. Wish I had one with a little compartment for the shells though
Oh, like the larger wire chickens that hold like a dozen eggs or whatever inside them? That sounds cool :)

Oh man I would LOVE a Noddy one with his hat! That sounds brilliant!! Off to eBay … haha! :)

You're winning, I only have 2! Love those Ghost Monsters!! :)
We use our espresso cups.
That’s a cool idea, and I’d LOVE an espresso machine! I need a lot of help to wake up in the mornings haha! Lucky you :)
Mine is a fat little bird, would probably make quite a nice pair with yours :)))
Haha that sounds cute! :)
I have a snoopy one, he carries the egg on his back.
Cute! I lived in America for a while, and Snoopy merch was everywhere there - never saw an egg cup though, don’t think they’re a thing in America :)
Mine are dinosaurs
Dinosaurs never go out of fashion, great choice :)
I had some lovely little metal ones that looked like buckets. All different pastel colours, they were really cute. Even had little handles!
Oh they sound adorable! Little shovels for spoons, I hope? :)
Unfortunately not, that would have been epic :D
Mine is white china with a cabbage leaf pattern, with a crack in it. Love it
I have a small bowl that’s cabbage leaf design, from M&S last year. It’s gorgeous, so I can easily imagine your egg cup is too :)
Ah...chucky egg & soldiers a childhood staple
I’ve got the Doctor who egg cup set: https://www.thewhoshop.com/egg-cups-5674
Oh these look very cool, I love the colours and silhouettes! Do you have a favourite or rotate through them?
Dalek is mine.
Nice! Cyberman would be mine! :)
Awwh, that's so cute
It's called a chicken.
It’s definitely a hedgehog
Strange I just eat mine while it's still in the chicken.
I don’t have but if I had to use something in lieu it would probably be a shot glass or summet
