BOF · 07/09/2013 20:08

YANBU mmmmm!

Pregnant women, just cook the egg a bit more, add smidge of ketchup or butter to make it taste runnier, be grand.

I'll take the double egg, but being the massive freak that I am, the only two foods I can't bear to eat are chips and baked beans. Haven't like either if them ever, even as a child. Confused

Yy to mushrooms and a cuppa. Chuck in a slice of buttered stodgy cheap thick sliced white bread and have a sneaky chip butty too.
Can you tell I'm pg?!!!

I had chips and egg for tea last night. Yum. Cooked by DH as well. He makes the best chips.

AlfalfaMum · 07/09/2013 20:14

YANBU about fishfinger sandwiches either, although I've taken to poshing mine up with ciabatta, rocket leaves and horseradish which is possibly a bit U of me.

DP has just cooked a lovely healthy meal but after reading this thread all I want is egg and chips.

[adopts suitably grateful demeanour]

I cannot STAND it when people come on to threads like this and say "yuck" or "blergh". The height of social ineptitude.

My dc had egg and chips tonight (well, actually it was ham, egg, chips and peas as I like to pretend it was a proper meal Wink) and I was like this Envy because I have got tuna salad Sad and no Wine because I am a blimper.

Rufus43 · 07/09/2013 20:17

Completely agree (though I don't always have the beans) its what I have down the pub, which is usually every other friday

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 07/09/2013 20:17

Love egg, chips, peas and HP sauce. Don't like baked beans.

BOF · 07/09/2013 20:21

Alfalfamum, that sounds like an M&S fish finger sandwich Grin

YANBU but you forgot the fried onion

AlfalfaMum · 07/09/2013 20:24

I know Blush

CombineBananaFister · 07/09/2013 20:29

my DH is a fancy pants chef (not a brag, promise - he also sees the ridiculousness Grin ) and when he comes home he craves - egg and chips. (good) sausage and yorkies with gravy .A pan of ash. Anything but fancy-arsed stuff - nowt wrong with comfort food in moderation.

SomethingOnce · 07/09/2013 20:31

Is a pan of ash a regional dish?

CombineBananaFister · 07/09/2013 20:35

oh sorry, it's a stew but it' s only done in a pressure cooker with beef brisket or shin and veg/stock/pots to everything is sooo soft and tender and flavoursome served with yorkies Grin

CombineBananaFister · 07/09/2013 20:36

(yorkshire??)

FarelyKnuts · 07/09/2013 20:37

That IS my tea tonight! How very weird. Must have read my mind :o

RinkyDinkyDoo · 07/09/2013 20:56

Egg and chips. Lots of vinegar, white bread and butter- drooooooool.

Lethologica · 07/09/2013 21:00

YANBU

Yum yum yum.

Pobblewhohasnotoes · 07/09/2013 21:03

Who mentioned arctic roll? What about a vienetta!

Iwaswatchingthat · 07/09/2013 21:04

YANBU

I have just eaten the very same meal. Delicious.

Makes my DH and me feel a little bit Jack and Vera Duckworth!

ShadowsCollideWithPeople · 07/09/2013 21:13

The only thing better, to me, is sausage, egg and chips. Especially as made by my Granda, he used to make it for my sister's and I every Sunday for our tea. He cut the chips himself with his crinkle cutter (and also cut some into letters to spell out our names) and deep fried them in lard, along with the sausages, and served it all with thickly buttered bread and cups of really strong, sweet tea. Then served it on fully laid out table with cups and saucers for the tea. Amazing. It would be really wrong to ask a man in his late 80s to cook this for me, wouldn't it? Grin

Vinetta! (Pronounced 'veeineetaa' in my head) yes please!
