Egg and Chips

pammyj74

a whole thread about egg and chips!! love it.
My most favourite meal ever is home cooked chips, egg, sausage and tomato. I love it when the egg oozes into the tomato, then have a chip butty with lots of butter to melt (usually over my hands!) and then dip into the egg/tomato yummy, and i really want to eat it right now and we will have for tea tomorrow

Our chippy tea was usually saturday lunch and i would get sent down to the chippy to get them, it was a real treat in those days. I remember though when my mum cooked chips there were 4 kids still at home and so she would do it in two stages and we would normally get seconds as well. ummmmm

You can do the float test. A glass of water and drop the egg in. If it sinks it's ok, if it's the middle it's still do-able, if it floats it's a goner.

The float test, genius i forgot about that! thankyou kindly

Works every time! I think it's the longer life the egg has had, the more air it stores. So the more air it stores, the more it will float. Or thats how my simple brain remembers it anyway

I buy free range eggs from the fruit shop and have seen them last weeks at room temperature

Mushy peas in a pie is my idea of heaven... Pastry and mushy peas... Oh wow!

It's been about 5 years or so since we had them. I used to bring some down when I came to visit before moving down here and also we had them n brought some home when we went to visit. I dont know if they still make them but my veggie flatmate regularly mentions he misses them. They are about the only thing I will have gravy on.:drool::drool::sad:

If you want to tantalise your tastebuds even more than talking about egg and chips, go to Flickr and search for 'egg and chips' and prepare to salivate over photos of them too!

I regularly torture myself by searching for pictures of comfort food on there! Why do I do it to myself?

Is it a northern thing to call it chips and egg - and southern egg and chips makes me smile every time I hear chips and eggs because it reminds me of Shirley Valentine - brilliant film!
