Oh Lordy, Grampa Charlie (TN) loved his poached eggs on biscuits!  I 
remember him having my mother make them, and then make them again cause she 
couldn't get it right <g>

And, for a change every now and again, he liked soft boiled eggs.  He's the 
only person I've ever seen who could tap around the top of the egg and get 
the top to come off like a nice little cap.  My little sister and I used to 
watch in total facination!

Of course, having been married to two Italians, ah, it's the Italian 
equivalent of FU and the left hand smacking the inside of the right elbow 
replaces the finger <g>

I was in college before I had ever even heard of a poached egg.  To this
day, I've never had one.

I guess the equivalent would be Up yours or FU or simply the Finger?
