Oddly enough although you are wide off the mark (pun) you have touched on something here!
You got it! Well done.
The idea is that it can be used to form a perfect clean cut. I've not quite succeeded in that yet - but practice make perfect. Best result so far:
You know i swear this egg top broken off thing is like the most british food item i have ever seen...i have never come across eggs being served like this in the states but on every british tv show they show eggs eaten in this manner.
We eat soft boiled eggs in egg cups often. My boy just had one yesterday. I saw the egg cup in the drainboard.
I guess you have to prefer lesser cooked eggs, though.
I was raised eating raw eggs on very cold winter days. They were mixed into chocolate milk. My mom's idea of a healthy breakfast when you needed to keep warm. She used to call it Norwegian eggnog.

Unfortunately not at the moment but hopefully I will be able to post one, one day!
No worries we just all. We just pitch in whenever on this thread. Its just a bit of silliness...
I think it is a very Brit thing. And I gather that a lot of homes in the US don't possess an eggcup. Although I think in the US it may be a regional thing judging by what @buckytom says above. Certainly in the UK almost every household will have eggcups and unless they are vegans almost everyone will have eaten eggs in this way. They are often served like this fr breakfast, with bread or toast 'soldiers' to dip. I think they may be found in NZ and AUS too. @rascal?
A quick poll, maybe....
Another 'singular use' and probably unnecessary food related item. What's this?:
Nope. Clue: its for a fruit. This probably won't help!
