To wonder, lightheartedly, who is wrong here?

[muffinflop]

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!

I am from Liverpool, and we all say egg and chips, just the same as normal people, I promise you. Shirley Valentine is an aberration in that respect.

In Northern Ireland they have a chip instead of chips, possibly the use of chip in Liverpool comes from the large Irish influence.

What do you have instead of beans furry?

Spag hoops?

Urgh at spag hoops. DH thinks it's chips first and he's from the SW like me!

Nothing, just the egg and chips with lots of vinegar and a bit of ketchup for me chips.

And whoever said the beans musnt touch the egg..DS would love you.

The egg is soft boiled though, right?

Noooo sunny side up!!

beans must deffo not touch the egg..

beans with scrambled egg is minging...

If I have a fry up, I prefer tinned tomatoes rather than beans, and if it is fishfingers and chips, it has to be garden peas (frozen, never tinned)...

My husband will happily eat beans with everything!

You're all wrong - it's egg, beans and chips.

That one is excusable on the protein rule, OldGrey. But in most cases, there is no room for variance.

ketchup is wrong and should be banned.

I have ishooooooos, I think I need therapy

aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh the apostrophe misuse

ummm egg, beans and chips!

(sausage), egg, chips and beans.

Also Fish & Chips (often shorted to just 'Fish Shop' or 'Chip Shop')

And SqueakyToy can cook me a fry up any day, beans have no part in that, it should be tinned tomatoes all the way.

ooooh egg chips and beans.

that's dinner sorted! yum.

Egg chips and beans.

Unless you are my ds who is still inclined to put chips first because they are his culinary holy grail, and he doesn't get them often.

Are we the only family who never, ever make chips at home?

It's egg, Chips and beans

Fish and chips

But the shop is the 'fish shop' or 'chippy'

Yorkshire lass!

Or the 'chipoil' (chip hole)

Eggs, chips and beans.

Why would you even ask this? Whhyyyyy? There is no other way. Eggs, chips and beans.

Eggs, chips and beans.

It's the way nature intended.

It has been that way since eggs, chips and beans were invented and it will stay that way until eggs, chips and beans are replaced by nourishment pills. And even then, if the nourishment pills are egg, chips and beans flavoured, they will still be called EGGS, CHIPS AND BEAN flavoured nourishment pills.

I think I may have overdone the coffee.

Just checked with dp- Brqdford to the core. He says he wouldn't have anything to do with such a nesh Southern meal- it's egg, chips beans and black pudding.

Egg, chips and beans. The egg is the protein and the chips and beans accompany. In the same way it is fish and chips, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, quiche and salad. Protein first.

Egg, chips and beans.

Egg, chips, sausage and beans.

Spam, spam, spam, spam . . .

Agree with LeBOF. Anyone putting chips first thinks that they are the most important component of the meal, rather than the main carb and are merely accompanied by small quantities of the other things. Even if that's how they eat them its not 'correct' in normal culinary termonology. Do they also eat 'roast potato, yorkshire pudding, veg, beef and gravy'?
