Noel Gallagher reveals everyday food item he didn't eat until his 30th birthday

Noel Gallagher has revealed he was 30 before he tried an everyday food item for the first time.

By this point the Oasis guitarist had released two number one albums in Definitely Maybe and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? and secured two number one singles. The band had even released the legendary Wonderwall two years prior.

But as he was about to turn 30 in 1997, someone suggested to Noel that he should try something he hadn’t done before. Noel revealed it was that moment that he decided to try a boiled egg for the first time.

“That’s a true story. I was throwing my 30th birthday and someone said ‘you know, you should try something you’ve never tried before on your 30th birthday’ and I thought ‘I’ve never had a boiled egg’.

“So I had a boiled egg and soldiers. And now I eat eggs like they’re going out [of fashion].”

The guitarist said he was “particularly happy” when nutritionists changed their advice around eating eggs. Up until the turn of the millennium, major health organisations recommended limiting egg consumption as part of a balanced diet.

However, the British Heart Foundation says advice changed, and it is now thought there is no need to limit how many eggs you eat as part of a balanced diet. This is because eggs are “low in saturated fat”.

Noel says he now “eats eggs every day”. He says he likes to have two eggs with two slices of toast.
