Egg and chips = the food of the gods.

[bumbleymummy]

AIBU?

Have you all actually got chip pans?

I have only been able to eat fried eggs for 18 months maybe. I thought I didn't like them.

Then I ordered a cheap greasy caff fry up on the way to a wedding and it was so small! I thought that just eating a rasher of bacon, a sausage and a slice of bread before commencing an all day drinking binge was a baaaaaad idea.

So I tried the egg. I've never looked back

I can't believe how many people have NEVER had a fried egg! You need to seriously address this issue with your parents ;)

I am evidently in the minority of people who absolutely hate eggs.
Ick.
Eggs of any kind, fried, poached, scrambled, boiled, omelette. All hideous.
There is something about that texture and smell I just can't stand.

Ham and chips however, I'm there!

DH didn't like eggs till we went tonethiopia and breakfast was more often than not omelette. Why didn't you tell me how great eggs are he cried!

And how do you all do your chips?

And how do you all do your chips?

Peel spud, chop spud into 1cm square rectangles, boil in very hot oil until gold and crispy.
If the pan sets on fire, run like fuck.

Double egg and (oven) chips is my ultimate comfort food,

The only decent oven chip imo.

Unlike most convenience food they always come out looking and tasting a million times better than the pictures on the packet.

I'm in the S.E where chips are grim though. If I had the choice I'd get takeaways from the Black Country Museum and do eggs with those.

Mmm egg & chips - every Friday night when I was a child

I was thinking of this just the other day... My nana (mum's mum) used to make the best egg and chips and fry ups... Not much else cooking happened mind but she could do those and roast dinners well.

Cheer up tea tomorrow I think.

Mum had a proper chip pan with straight sides & a wire basket. She chucked it out once I & my DB became old enough to consider cooking our own chips - too dangerous

I agree with notime too - how have you all lived without fried eggs?!

You can either fry on one side so you have the yolk like a dome ready to spill or you can fry on both sides (my mum's way) which is just as good.

Witch my mum had the wire basket and chip pan for chips too... I think when oven chips were introduced and she worried about my brother and I cooking with oil as teenagers the pan and basket were ditched, can't beat fried chips though!

I have to say that I'm quite jealous of all you people who had weekly egg and chips. I can't eat meat or fish so would have loved this for dinner as a child growing up in the seventies but it just didn't occur to my parents at all.

On 'with chips' nights I had chips and peas / beans. Cheesy chips hadn't been invented then nor had most protein-rich substitutes.

Come to think of it, I had potatoes with veg most nights. I'm five foot four but was probably meant to be just under six foot

Please stop - I'm low carbing :(

Arghh, why did I click on this thread? Just reading the title made me hungry and now that I've read it I'm practically drooling.

I haven't had a real chip, i.e., born in a deep fat fryer as God intended, for sooooooo long. A plate of those, with a runny egg sprinkled in salt is a very beautiful thing indeed.

A Christmas version of cold ham accompaniment on Boxing Day is utter heaven.

It goes like this.

Egg, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, black pudding, tomatoes and beans.

A bit of both brown and tomatoe sauce.
Crusty bread with lashings of butter.

chips if you want :)

Egg and chips and sometimes with beans. Brown sauce and bread and butter. Dipping the bread into the lovely yellow yolk, all washed down with a mug of tea. Food of the gods.

Please tell me that no one has I egg with their chips.

It has 3 eggs with 2 whites chucked away in my house.

That's the correct dippage ratio.

That's exactly what I do kerbs.

Whites discarded and all.

Haven't RTFT but the title alone has got me drooling like one of Pavlov's dogs.

I think this is the least unreasonable I have ever been

DP and I have this when we're hungover - fried eggs and chips or fried eggs and potato waffles - whichever's in the freezer. Add salt and bam perfect meal!

No prizes for guessing what we're having for tomorrow night's tea!
