You haven't lived until you've had an egg explode in the microwave!

I haven't had that but I have had a bottle of homemade elderflower
champagne, in an old screw-top bottle explode in my kitchen, luckily
at around 6 am before anyone was up.
Glass embedded in ceiling, walls venetian blind etc, all over
everything along with the contents of the bottle.
That was about 30 years ago and I have only made it once since!
At least the egg would be contained in the microwave, I assume.

Sorry to divert from spuds, but many years ago my bro-in-law was decorating
his kitchen having sent his wife and kids to his M-in-law for a couple of
dys. As a small diversion, in his spare time he decided to make some
blackberry wine ! Fine - mash was fermenting well in the demijohn on the
kitchen table. The ceiling by now was beautifully painted white! A rogue
blackberry was carried upwards in the frothy head in the demijohn and was
jammed in the fermentaion lock. Suddenly, with a slight pop! the blackberry
shot out of the glass fermentaion lock and hit the ceiling making a lovely
purple/pink splodge dead centre of the ceiling......."Oh dear, let's start
again" was his retort.
