Oooh boy, is this exciting or what?

Two to three large eggs, soft boiled 3 minutes or so, rinsed under cool
water so the shells can be handled but the eggs are still hot.

Crack the shells and scoop the white and yolk into a coffee mug. We
called it "Egg a Cup". Add a Tbs.butter, S&P and mix it up. Serve hot.
Add a slice of toasted buttered bread (I prefer sourdough) cut into
"soldiers" to eat with it or dip into the soft eggs. Quite tasty, quite
filling. Also (hey!) "vegetarian".

Dude you little bread soldiers are going to eat your egg, that is if
the gluten does not kill them first!

I've been eating soft boiled eggs for years but never thought of putting
butter in it. I'll be trying that later this week. Yes, always with
good bread, toasted.

I skip the bread. Real bacon, well done fried eggs and grits cooked in butter are fine with me.

Is butter vegetarian... I always thought butter comes from milk fat
from animal breasts... I don't know of any plants with breasts,
otherwise I'd be doing a lot more gardening. Actually I don't think
of eggs as vegetarian either... are chickens plants? I know turkey is
not vegetarian food. I don't think wine is vegetarian, by most
standards yeast is a plant.

Vegetarians can have milk, butter, eggs. Vegans don't have any animal
products. Wine can be vegetarian or even vegan, as long as no milk or
fish product has been used in its production. They often ARE used.
Beer tends to be vegan.

Yeast is more closely related to humans than it is to a stalk of broccoli.
Vegetarian means no meat. Vegan means no animal products.

You're thinking Vegan. According to Merriam Webster: "a person who does
not eat meat : someone whose diet consists wholly of vegetables, fruits,
grains, nuts, and sometimes eggs or dairy products." Butter is a dairy
product. They can even drink milk if they want to. They just can't
suck on a chicken breast.

Yes, vegetarian but not vegan. It is a product of the animal, not the
animal itself.

Wine can be vegan. Beer is often vegan.

It depends on what kind of vegetarian. There are various types of
them. Some eat fish, some eat dairy, some eat chicken. The one thing
they have in common is their self righteous attitude about it.

We've been through this before. Vegetarians do NOT eat chicken and do
NOT eat fish. They eat dairy products. If they don't, they're vegans.
People who don't eat meat but do eat fish, are called pescatarians.

It's time meat eaters stop trying to define what vegetarianism and
veganism are, because the hormones and carcinogens in the meat make it
impossible for them to think clearly.

Your buddy kuth is a vegetarian and he eats any kind of meat
(provided it was free). He just doesn't buy meat.

And you still haven't learned the difference between vegetarian and vegan.

You truly are ineducable.

Each to their own but I'd put them in a small bowl not a narrow coffee
mug. That's odd.

It cools more slowly in a cup and the narrowness keeps the egg deeper
for better "soldier dipping".

Well, I always heat up a bowl for egg meals with hot water. It stays
quite warm. Serving in a coffee mug is just a cute gimmick, imo.

I spoon a soft boiled egg onto hot toast, on a paper plate.

Depends on the size of the eggs. I cooked two large eggs. If they had
been smaller it would have been three.

Narrow? Who has narrow coffee mugs?

This was something my mother made when I was a little kid. A coffee mug
has a handle on it so a young child can easily grasp it. I still use a
coffee mug but hey, if you want to put it in a small bowl knock yourself
out.

When I was five years old I spent the night at a friends house. In the
morning, her mother asked me what I wanted for breakfast. At age five I
couldn't explain soft boiled eggs with butter, S&P. I answered "egg a
cup". She had to call my mom to figure out what I was talking about.
(BTW, my friends mother didn't serve it in a coffee mug; we had
breakfast at a formal dining room table and she served it in a bowl...
it was still "egg a cup" to me.)

I'd rather dip the buttered toast in the egg in the cup than have soft
boiled egg on toast. Different strokes. Sometimes I crumble a slice of
cooked bacon and add it to the egg in the cup.

I eat soft boiled eggs on toast because that's how mom served it.
Dad would make smallish pancakes and serve a stack of 3 with an over
easy egg between each and one on top, no syrup... the runny egg was
the syrup. We ate lots of eggs, my wife eats lots of eggs too... as a
child her father raised chickens for eggs and when they stopped laying
they were meat chickens. My wife and her brother took care of the
chickens and after they were killed they would pluck and clean them.
They were paid 5¢ for each chicken... business people in Belize had
maids, gardeners, cooks, and assorted help. My wife's mother had a
millenary store and sold lots of fabrics and sewing supplies, there
most people made their own clothing... of course being tropical
everyday clothing was little more than a bed sheet.
