The first time I have seen "hard cooked" written in those 49 years was this week in Marc's original post. I have never heard it said. I can't imagine where the idea that is English comes from. Mind you I saw the idea of presenting the date as month/day/year quoted as "English" a few weeks ago, I've only ever seen it in USA and Canada. cheers Frank Marc James Small wrote At 01:11 AM 7/10/03 0100, Steve Unsworth wrote: >Well once again sorry to disappoint, but in my part of the UK at least 'hard >boiled' is 'hard boiled'. I have _never_ heard the phrase 'hard cooked'. How many citations to British, Irish, and Scottish cookery books do you wish?
