Egg and chips must have at least one other thing in my house. Egg, bacon and chips, Egg sausage and chips or eggs beans and chips. Only HP or any brown sauce.

Yeh, he says its partly because of health reasons but then replaces the yolk with fake cheese.
Weird.

Missed a trick not calling this thread 'chips & eggs'. Whatever will the woke-brigade think?

Here’s one for the purists.
Gypsy bread, bubble and squeak, baked beans, brown sauce.
(I like to add almost burnt onions too, but appreciate that’s not everyone’s cup of tea)

Re: Egg and chips

I like my eggs very runny, for superior dipping quality. I take them out of the pan when still just a tiny bit jismmy a put them on a very warm dinner plate.
By the time I have ladle the chips onto the plate next to them and dressed the chips (and eggs) with copious amounts of salt and vinegar, they are done to a 't'.
I also like red sauce on the plate, but agree with an earlier poster who said the ketchup should be nowhere near the eggs. Of course, the red/brown sauce debate is as old as the hills and is a perfectly reasonable matter for discussion on this thread. Even though the answer is definitely and always red. I find brown sauce lovers to have poor teeth, low intelligence and questionable morals.
Incidentally, I live in the north midlands where they are mystified when a southerner puts vinegar on anything other than chips. No vinegar on a full English? I asked you.

Apparently, years ago the English consumed mainly white shelled eggs.
That was obviously before BEM

Kind of reminds me of one of my missus' uncles. He didn't like egg yolks at all so after he fried an egg he'd cut the yolk out and replace it, inexplicably, with a small yolk sized circle of processed cheese.
Then again he is american.

Absolutely agree about normal eggs here.
In England the step up is usual less than a pound (or was) and here you have to at least double the price.
Luckingly we have lots of farm friends/relatives.

Re: Egg and chips
Only on this site could a post which started out life as a home cooking tip (how to make your eggs) end up with the same poster essentially saying "bollocks - go and get a takeaway" (for the chips)!
THAT is the spirit of WHO, right there...

Egg and soldiers was one of the English things my nan passed on to her daughter-in-law (my mom) before she passed.
Wasn't appeciated by me.
We had cool little cups for it, though.

But if I bite into an egg and chip butty I’m quite happy for a bit of yolk dribble down the crease between thumb and index finger .

Re: Egg and chips

Fried, poached or boiled, I will not eat runny yolk, even if the yolk is very slightly orange and fudgy. It has to be pale yellow and bone dry. Most people think they can make me eggs with yolks that are properly cooked, but they can't. So I always ask for scramble instead. When people talk about dippy eggs, I shudder with revulsion.
