There is a British food called Grosvenor Pie, which is a pork
pie with a hard-boiled egg in the middle. For catering uses,
they make extra-long ones (more than a foot long) designed
to be sliced. In the middle of each slice of pie there is a
slice of hard-boiled egg, with the yolk concentric with the
white, with every slice having the same cross-section. "Long
egg" is what makes this possible - firms that make Grosvenor
pies can buy or make tubular hard-boiled eggs. I presume they
are made by some simultaneous extrusion/cooking process but
I've no idea what it is. (One possibility that comes to mind
is enclosing the yolk in an extra-long biodegradable condom
before hard-boiling the whole thing).

I have sometimes wondered if this product was the inspiration
for the eternal chicken in Pohl and Kornbluth's dystopia "The
Space Merchants".

I have once heard that the British egg industry briefly produced
cubical eggs in the Fifties to save on packaging. Since they
could only come hard-boiled they had limited usefulness.

Hm. Haven't those struck the market before now?? At least for
restaurants long eggs has been available for at least 20 years, maybe
more. I think I had started to study when I first met a long egg. So
sometime after 1970 at least.

But - how do they do it? When is Innovations going to start
listing a Home Long Egg Maker?

I was disappointed to see how short those on the website were.
I was expecting something like a drum from a cable-laying ship
with kilometres of long egg wound round it.

I find it sad that the long egg has modified food starch in it, suggesting
that some with severe gluten allergies would not be able to eat it.
