Boiled eggs and buppy soldiers

[Seziah]

Does anyone else say buppy soldiers? It’s what everyone said when I was a kid but I haven’t heard it for years. My boyfriend from near Oxford had no clue what I was making to dip into my eggs

I assume it comes from bap as in bacon bap, which I think I’ve heard called a bacon bappy??

Dippy soldiers here..

SE England here … never heard of it!

Never heard the term.

Just soldiers here - dippy egg and soldiers.

Midlands.

Never heard of it either. I don’t think the bap explanation makes sense because they aren’t made with baps, it’s sliced bread?

dippy egg and soldiers here

Toast 🤣

I've heard of boiled edd and soldiers or dippy soldiers, but buppy?

Never heard of them and I’m in the SE , it’s just eggs and soldiers in this house or in my case just eggs .

Hmm yes true, slices of roll wouldn’t fit in an egg!

Yes! Buppy. I know it from my DH (SE England), used it in childhood.

He also uses "nub" for the crusty end of the loaf.

Egg and soldiers here (Cheshire) - we did have a thing where we were told to crack the eggshell after eating the egg 'to let the fairy out' - did anyone else have this because people look at me like I'm mad when I tell them... I've still passed on the tradition to DD(6) nonetheless😁

Yeah, buppy is familiar to me. Also SE (London outskirts and both parents from the East End)

Though we'd have said an egg and buppy, not buppy soldiers specifically.

We smashed the eggshell after so that 'witches couldn't use them as a boat' 😆

My in laws have exactly that same background :)

Buppy was what we called bread and butter when I was a kid - Middlesex.

I now know what I'm having for lunch today!🙂

Boiled egg and toasted soldiers here, never dippy or buppy. I prefer to spoon the egg out onto the whole slice of toast though, dipping can get bits of shell onto the toast.

Yes to buppy growing up, from South London

Never heard it! before I like it though. I would just say 'boiled egg and soldiers'.

Slightly different vibes but still enjoyable 😆

I call it the noggin but that might just be my family rather than a regional thing 🙈

We were told it was to stop witches using them.

I just know them as soldiers. For context I'm a Londoner (though no longer living there) of Irish parents.
