I like to bite the top off and then scoop out most of the inside with my little finger, then eat the chocolate, but some of the inside has to be left. So, how do you eat yours? Cream eggs. ---

Bite off the top, scoop out the bulk of the fondant with my tongue, eat the rest of the chocolate in one giant bite. Yeah, it looks funny, but I like it. ---

I’ve bitten the top off of a cream egg but the sight inside made me flinch so I never finished it. So my answer: bite the top off, trash the rest. ---

I bite the fat end off, then stick it on my tongue like a hat - squishing out the ‘egg’ Mmmm. \*\*Chocolate Egg Tongue Hat.\*\* ---

I like to take a tiny bite from the top, enough to get to the cream filled goodness inside, but not to damage the basic egg, just a nibble. Then I suck hard until I get some of it in my mouth. When nothing else comes out, I like to turn it around and drill a tiny hole on the other side the same way, and suck the remaining creamy goodness. Be careful, though, since sucking too hard at first could mean there is nothing left inside at this point, and it’s better to prolongue the time there is cream inside. Then after a while, when I’m sure all the white cream has come out (sometimes I have to wipe it off my chin if I got too giddy), I like to slowly lick the chocolate so it starts to melt. When it’s nice and soft, I just pop the rest in my mouth and move on to the next. I’m never satisfied with just one!. lothos ---

Bite in half, investigate the inside to se if I exposed a lot of yellow, sometimes lick out the cream, finish. ---

I stick mine in the microwave (sans wrapper, of course) for a few seconds, so the inside is all melty. Then the goal is to have equal amounts of chocolate and filling in each bite. Cream Eggs are THE best thing about Easter. Period. ---

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… Cream eggs rock! I bite off the very top, dig the middle out with my tongue and then eat the chocolate. The day after Easter I buy dozens to last the year. ---

But back to the eggs… many years ago I ate one of those once… ONCE… and just reading this has made my teeth start to vibrate and stomach start to dance. Those things are vile. Whatever type of sugar they use, it isn’t natural. Nothing is that sweet. ---

Bite off the top. Scoop the cream out with my tongue. Eat the chocolate. Just like **banks**. And are they out yet? Cream eggs are God’s perfect food. ---

I’ve never actually eaten one, as they give me the willies. I’ll stick to the Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs. ---

Through my mouth, or if lacking, another suppository orifice. ---

In the UK they are available most of the year - if you know where to look or don’t mind eating older ones… I like to start by nibbling off an end, then tongueing out the cream filling. To get all all the filling the hole is enlarged as needed. Once the creamy goodness is gone, the egg is eaten in little bites. Licking of the fingers is obligitory at the end 😃 ---

make a tiny hole in top, suck out the filling, using my tongue enlarge the hole and lick any remaining cream from the inside. then put the whole choclate shell in my mouth at once and spend the next 5 minutes making “mm, frumph,mmm” noises. ---

I can’t get them here ☹ Make a tiny bite in the “sharp” end, make a small bite at the “blunt” end. Suck out the middle as much as possible. Licking the blunt end enlarges the hole while keeping the edges of the whole smooth and even (occasional nibbling may be required). Tongue out as much filling as possible during this process. At the broadest point of the egg the hole is at maximum possible diameter and all eggy-inside should be reachable by tongue, stop working the hole. Once inside is shiny and bare, eat all the rest of the chocolate at oncce. Mmmm Cadburys! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-do-you-eat-yours/151947.md?page=2)
