Review #247: Hard Boiled Eggs from 7-11
I know, the immediate reaction is “ewww, gas station food!” but really, this 7-11 isn’t so bad. It’s tucked away near this christian college I live by and it’s really clean and they sell some decent food, like apples and bagel sanwiches they make themselves.
Nonetheless, their eggs suck.
I love hard boiled eggs in all forms. Egg salad, Deviled eggs, um…what else? I dunno, but I’m sure I’d like them. In all my years of peeling the shell off of a hard boiled egg, I cannot for the life of me figure out why these particular shells are so difficult. After cracking the shell, the first thing that happens is that the egg inside splits in two. See, the shell is so strongly adhered to the egg that attempting to peel it off pulls the egg with it. With evey crack more and more egg peices become independent of the whole shell, each attatched to the egg inside with equal strength. The delicacy involved in prying off eich piece of shell is simply ridiculous, and usually the piece comes off with a layer of the egg white attatched to it. Still, I buy one ocassionally thinking “Oh, maybe this time will be different and I won’t have to throw half the thing away.” Maybe someday.
