Omelette is the way to go. Although my efforts this evening involved me forgetting to add butter to the pan so the omelette stuck, and forgetting the cheese until the last minute. Tasted alright, though.
So what kind of noise do exploding boiled eggs make? A solid bang, or a kind of popping? Is it different from the noise an exploding microwaved egg makes?
It wasn't my tea, I was boiling it for the kids. ;)
And it depends on what happens. In this case, the egg boiled dry then made quite a dull bang, leaving most of the yolk in the bottom of the pan and the rest of the egg about a foot away on top of the stove. Since I've never owned a microwave, I have no material for comparison, sorry!
I stopped on the M6 last year because a chap's car was on fire (massive queue of people driving past him, and nobody stopping). I asked him if he needed help or a phone. He said yes.
Then I watched the whole thing, wanting to know what a burning car really looked like and sounded like, with my notebook at the ready. Chap used the phone a few times, and in between said it was such a shame to be working on the weekend, nodding at my notebook. I couldn't bring myself to tell him I was noting down things for future writing reference, like the fact that his exploding tyre sounded like a champagne cork popping.
