Eggs are a very versatile food, and there are both many different types of eggs and many different ways of cooking them. One of the simplest ways of cooking an egg is the boiled egg, whether this is soft boiled with a runny yolk (popular with bread, or toast, "soldiers") or the hardboiled egg with a hard yolk. As well as being cooked by themselves - with other methods including fried, scrambled and poached - eggs, or their separate parts, yolks and whites, are also used as ingredients in many more complicated dishes.
Eggs can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes. They are, particularly the whites, an important ingredient in many sweet dessert dishes, such as cakes.
Chicken eggs, which are probably the most common type of egg around, have different colours to their shells, such as white and brown. The shell colour only means that the egg is from a different breed of hen.
Today, free range eggs are often more popular than battery farmed eggs.
