Egg and chips = the food of the gods.

AIBU?

My grandma used to make the most perfect egg and chips. Double fried, hand-cut chips done in beef dripping. Perfect eggs, fried over-easy. Slices of white bread, thick with butter, for chip-butty making and egg-dipping purposes. Just....heaven.

To her, it was a "cheat's tea" - something she made when she didn't have the time/energy/money to make something "better", and she never understood why we were all so enthusiastic about it. But it was just delicious. If I could have it for my last meal, I'd die happy.

Love egg and chips, maybe a couple of sausages on the side.

Yes to bread with LOTS of butter. I just think it's one of those lovely 'cosy' meals. Glad I'm not alone! :)

We love it here too. It's my "go to" thing for when I don't have anything else. I always feel a bit guilty giving it to the family because it's a bit easy and simple but they all get super excited about it! :)

But berts that's sausage egg and chips which is a completely different thing

Philedelphia with chips? Now thats an idea. The garlic philly goes well on baked eggs instead of cream.

I have never had egg and chips on my life! Am I missing out? It sounds revolting.

YANBU - especially leaving the yolk til last and then piercing it and mopping it all up with the last chips.

I love it. It's not a standard combination in the US, but I discovered it when I was a student in the UK. It used to be on cheap cafe menus, and I ordered it all the time, but I no longer see it when I go to the UK.

I have never eaten a fried egg, either!

I would be embarrassed to tell you what dh said our 'go to' quick supper is! (I asked him if he'd ever had egg and chips as a quick meal..)

There are people who've never had egg and chips or even a fried egg?!

What was it Dick? :)

I actually had poached eggs instead of fried.

This thread has brought back a terrible memory from my past, I'll try to get through the sharing without crying.

I met a lovely woman online and the first time I went to her house was for tea. She said she was making egg and chips, how happy I was.
We sat in the living room chatting away etc. Then she insisted I stay there whilst she made tea. She even buttered me some bread.
All excited she brought it in to me on a tray.... I remember it well.
Golden chips, beautiful.
Beans, stunning.
A........ A....... An Omelette...... I almost wept into my bread. But I braved it and smiled.
Weren't till we were married I told her the error of her ways.

DickDewy now you have to tell us

Trollkonor Baked eggs??!! I'm googling that!

yanbu

but real chips not oven chips

so on the odd occasion we have this I get mine from the fish and chip shop a portion costs £1.70 but so worth it

with a crusty buttered roll and a cup of tea

delicious

OK - dh (who does all of the cooking and fancies himself as a bit cheffy) said our go to quick supper is -

'brie and cranberry with rocket on toasted ciabatta'!

This is true, we eat this about twice a week, but really.

Dewy. Sounds lovely!

Doesn't beat egg and chips though

I don't think I can face the egg bit. My dcs have a runny egg in the middle of their pizzas

Great hangover cure. Love egg and chips. I worked overseas for years and my mum often cooked me a fave meal my first night home, egg and chips was one of them.

One of the things I like about going to the Atlantic coast of Spain is being able to go out and have eggs and some sort of fried potato, with peppers or mushrooms. As a none meat lover it is bliss.

My favourite meal
