DH and I are having a slight disagreement. Do you eat egg, chips and beans or chips, beans and egg?? I'm excluding the sausage to attract the vegetarians to my debate!

Egg, chips and beans of course Hmm

peeriebear · 26/11/2011 23:29

Egg, chips and beans.

AgentZigzag · 26/11/2011 23:29

But then again, are we talking ketchup or brown sauce...?

thatboysmum · 26/11/2011 23:29

Egg's, chip's and bean's... the other way just sounds wrong.

DodieSmith · 26/11/2011 23:29

Sausage egg and chips.

squeakytoy · 26/11/2011 23:29

egg and chips, with beans! (or peas in my case)

scurryfunge · 26/11/2011 23:30

It has to be eggs,chips and beans....anything else is just nonsense.

Sevenfold · 26/11/2011 23:30

sausage , egg, chips and beans

(I wonder why?)

Sevenfold · 26/11/2011 23:31

:o this thread has made me smile

squeakytoy · 26/11/2011 23:31

the first time I heard it as "chips and egg" was in the film Shirley Valentine, and it just sounds wrong...

The only time chips come first is when they are just with a sauce, ie Chips and Gravy, Chips and Curry...

The rest of the time it is xxxx and chips....

You dont hear of a Chip and Fish shop. do you Grin

muffinflop · 26/11/2011 23:31

I'm so pleased to be right(so far!) and yes sausage, egg, chips and beans! Any other way is like saying dad and mum instead of mum and dad surely?

Chip, eggs and beans. With HP sauce.

There's no other way. It's just WRONG!

AgentZigzag · 26/11/2011 23:32

I've got my fingers crossed you argued it's egg, chips and beans OP.

Don't want no man being able to bring up his victory next time you argue Hmm

Honeydragon · 26/11/2011 23:33

chips and egg

(beans are only present if sausage is)

if ham instead

ham, egg and chips.

muffinflop · 26/11/2011 23:33

Lol squeaky the 'chips and fish' was what started the debate. I accidently said chip and fish shop and corrected myself and DH didn't understand why!

The main protein goes first, then any secondary one, then carb filler, then vegetable accompaniment.

muffinflop · 26/11/2011 23:34

totu only one chip?!

TOTU · 26/11/2011 23:35

I wonder if chip, egg and beans is a Northern saying then. Maybe we need to know who is from where??

And no, you don't hear of a Chip and Fish Shop but you are no longer allowed to call a meat and potato pie a 'meat and potato' pie unless the pie contains more meat than potato.

So now, we have to ask for a potato and meat pie.

Egg and chips. Sometimes (veggie) sausage, egg and chips. Beans belong on toast or jacket potatoes.

I think chips and egg is a Liverpool thing - hence Shirley Valentine.

squeakytoy · 26/11/2011 23:37

It might be a liverpudlian saying to put the chips first.. but I am from Lancashire and we say chips second!

And I still call it a meat and potato pie, and always will! Grin

TOTU · 26/11/2011 23:38

muffin, it must be an ooooop North thing. Around here we refer to chips in the singular when talking about chip, egg and beans.

There is more than one chip.

But the beans must be over the chips and not touch the egg, but that's a whole other debate altogether Wink

thefurryone · 26/11/2011 23:38

It's egg and chips, beans are disgusting and have no place on the plate.
