mick2me 3,033 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I vaguely remember a TV advert where a mans wife woman asks her husband "How'd' you want your eggs - fried or boiled?" What was that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,871 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Was there a Monty Python sketch about how do you like your eggs fried or boiled? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Not as I remember. It might be one of the Egg promo ads. Or maybe the renowned public information films? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 It was a promotional advert for eggs. She was a battle axe landlady type, he was the lodger, She shrieks "How do you want your eggs , fried or boiled ? He then went in to a 'dream sequence' with a voice over saying (Words along the lines of) "Or poached? Scrambled?, or maybe a light fluffy omelet?" He then comes back to us and says "Cottled" and she replies "Hows that , fried or boiled ?" Me , I love poached eggs on toast, scrambled eggs and bacon on toast, and every now and then I'll make a "Spanish omelet" using up bits of ham some peas etc. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I love poached egg on toast but my favourite of all is a fried egg sandwich, with tommy ketchup. You'd be surprised how many people are partial to a fried egg sandwich. I remember reading how Omar Sharif had tried for the hand of Miss Julie Christie back in the 60's - this was when they were making 'Dr Zhivago'. Apparently Omar lost interest when during a break he caught the beautiful, young thing tucking into a fried egg sandwich; Omar thought it most common of her. A plate of chips and a fried egg sandwich, every once in a while, who cares? You only live once. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 my favourite of all is a fried egg sandwich, with ketchup. Yup i'll go with that....as long as the yolks are runny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie 162 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 my mum used to make me one of these when i was a kid, used to love em with a good dolup of tommyK! ... I made one the other night, took me back a few years Now iv mastered the art of poaching eggs... iv had them 3 days in a row for breakfast Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Do you put vinegar in the water when poaching ? I only asked 'cause SWMBO looked at me 'gone out' when I told her to put some in when we were first married, she'd never heard of it ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie 162 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 i put a teaspoon of white vinegar in... i find it keeps the egg 'together' the times iv tried it without vinegar... it fell apart n made eggy soup! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Yes, remember my mum always advised putting a drop of vinegar in to hold the egg together. I like eggs all of their different ways. I got a particular taste for eggs benedict a few years ago (but rarely get it). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie 162 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 What is eggs benedict exactly?? & yeah, i got some dodgey looks off the other half when i put vinegar in the water haha!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fynger 841 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Yep eggy bread or french toast was covering the bread with egg then frying it.....Gypsy toast was where you cut the hole in the bread a crack the egg into the hole and fry it. also putting vinegar into the water when boiling eggs is 'supposed' to stop the shell cracking.
