Is this still a tea time favourite or left in the 1970s?

Did you have to? I want it now!! I’d add a gammon steak or some slices of ham to it for a really indulgent, occasional supper.

Have never had it.

I like chips, I like eggs. I just don’t see that they go together.

They do.

Dipping crispy chips into rich runny egg yolks is brilliant. It just is.

Spam (some fried, some not, to suit everyone’s tastes), egg, and chips. Drool. Going to make it this week now that you’ve reminded me. Grin

I thought this was going to be about Shirley Valentine, though that was 'chips and egg' I think.
I'd like it with home made chips, though I haven't eaten it in more years than I remember.

The DC would think it was a strange combination I'm sure.

I wasn't to keen on it, but DS had eggs, fries and serrano ham in Barcelona once and it was a game changer. So nice!

re-brand it as Spanish peasant delicacy, jamon huevos fritas, and watch it become trendy again.

Try Chips Mayai (basically a chip omelette) which is a very popular Tanzanian dish.

It is delicious

I love this but didn't know the name and tbh thought I'd invented it hahahha

70's (scuttles off to the kitchen to make egg and chips 🤤)

JobzaGoodun · 09/07/2023 20:39

Chips and egg with white sliced bread and butter, brown sauce, and a teapot of tea on the table.

Old school deliciousness.

We have it occasionally, usually in winter maybe once or twice a year and with the addition of sausage and beans. Always amazing!

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 09/07/2023 20:42

Simple perfection. Egg and Chips is the best dinner. That's a hill I am willing to die on 🥰

mydogisthebest · 09/07/2023 20:43

One of our favourite meals. We eat maybe twice a month.

Has to be egg with lovely runny yolk, crisp chips, beans, bread and butter and a mug of tea. Absolutely delicious

Tanfastic · 09/07/2023 20:44

Absolutely love egg and chips. We sometimes have this as a cheapo tea and sometimes we have egg and beans on toast as well 😂

TuesdayWonder · 09/07/2023 20:44

We have sausage, egg and chips 😊

I think if I had it with gammon steak I'd be forced to add some vegetables. Somehow sausages don't demand this 😆

Delicious
Meal of champions

My parents used to go to our local auction house on fine art viewing days. They had a cafe next door. They used to go and have egg and chips after the viewing. I would go with them sometimes. I prefer omelette and chips. A nice memory revisited thanks to your thread Op.

jackstini · 09/07/2023 20:47

Only with steak or gammon on the side!

JobzaGoodun · 09/07/2023 20:49

I do like it on Boxing Day, with slices of the Xmas ham, remnants of the cheeseboard and chutneys, but let's not get shit twisted- chips, egg and bread and butter doesn't need anything else.

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 09/07/2023 20:49

Chips and egg here! Love it!

LindorDoubleChoc · 09/07/2023 20:51

Absolutely love egg and chips, although tend to cook it for lunch rather than dinner. I feel bad if my dinner doesn't involve vegetables or salad.

WinniFinniHadog · 09/07/2023 20:55

Ham, Egg and chips is a firm favourite in this house.

Normally a Saturday night dinner as I'm using up the left over ham from packed lunches 🤣.

Chips in the air fryer, fried eggs done in fry light. A nice coating of salt and vinegar on the chips.

DS loves it! And so do I!

bladebladebla1 · 09/07/2023 20:56

With thick white bread and butter ooooooh yeah
