Why don't UK people cook meals like this? Yum!

[JulyCompost]

I am natively from Brazil living in London now, and I make hubby eggs in morning etc. We add what Uk people call "chip sticks" to our meals, makes it more exciting and delicious! He loves it but says he has never seen it before.

Any other Brazillians on here who can share similar?

I think it’s because we only eat proper shit if we are eating junk.
we wouldn’t mix eggs with junk.
it would be either or

I’ve had this in Portugal! I was a bit confused at first but it did taste nice. I think Portuguese cookery is very influenced by Brazilian isn’t it?

Fried egg and chips used to be a popular cheap meal here @JulyCompost, but it has gone out of fashion in recent years.

Do you have any other tips for high end, luxurious meals @JulyCompost, I'm all in favour of a bit of luxury!

Yes why oh why don’t people in Britain make fried eggs with crisps and ketchup for breakfast?

Egg and chips is a very traditional British meal, though usually for tea not breakfast as it is too much food for most people at 8am. Most people would try to add some vegetables somewhere though.

Deep fried and drenched in salt as well 🤣

I love egg and chips. It's my favourite Can't Be Arsed dinner.
I put crispy fried onions on a lot of things.

Worse than crisps really, crisps are basically just fried potatoes. Potato chipsticks are reconstituted potato, much more processed

Interesting, i had a lovely breakfast once in a hotel that was some kind of spicy omelette. Are you familiar with this?

I've noticed those chipsticks are popular in Italy, Portugal and Spain as well, although I've always experienced them as an evening thing - nibbles to have with a nice beer or Aperol Spritz .

You can get them in this country but they are less popular now than years ago. I get them at Christmas and they remind me so much of my Mum and Grandma [nostalgia emoji].

Ham, egg and chips is an elite lunch, but not crunchy crisps!

I've eaten chipsticks at parties in buffet selections... The worlds most boring crisp! Completely flavourless.

If you're trying to imply that the OP is making this up the links and posts from people who have had similar dishes in other countries would suggest not.

Thanks OP, this has made my morning.

Finally, an upmarket breakfast I can make.

All that salt and fat. Will taste ‘yummy’ though.

Why dont people from China make a dish from Mexico, why doesn't someone from Iceland make a dish from the Philippines, where would it end

Why on earth would someone from any country make every meal from every country in the world? Just because a person says they should

I don't get the point of this

Possibly the other way round, given the Portuguese colonised Brazil in 1500.

An ale-house I used to frequent served popular sandwiches with chips on the side... then one day, they decided to change the chips for crisps... (same price, of course)...

TOTALLY different experience - no matter how much they tried to insist 'they ARE chips, they're potato chips', people got batey about it...

Maybe not exactly relevant to this discussion, just sharing my trauma...

That isn’t the implication. Obvo putting crisps on meals is a recognised way of adding crunch. The implication is that it’s a joke post after the subsequent posts from the op that it’s healthy and gourmet cuisine if the crisps are from M&S.

I’ve never heard of these used with the crisp version but have seen them in Spain served freshly made and fried with eggs on top

Possibly because we have a better grasp of nutrition?

🤔

It sounds like a batty idea and wouldn't appeal to me at all. But if you like it then why not.

I feel your pain. Two completely different things. I also like “game chips” which are often served as a side dish with game (obviously).

It was a joke,hence the smiley face.

What's dickish about that, hun?

Ffs. What a pile of guff.
