    Hmm. I think I'd rather have an over-easy egg on a slice of toast.

    Edit: I was kind of hoping toast soldiers were a little more literal. Like toast stamped with a little soldier mold.

    egg in a basket is a great way to combine them (made famous in V for Vendetta)

    Toad in the Hole is a different thing, where I'm from. It involves sausages.

    Egg in a basket is too mundane.

    How about Gold in the Tooth?

    When I make Toad in a Hole I like to sprinkle Brewer's Yeast, also known as Nutritional Yeast on the pan where the egg will sit, then on top of it once it's in the hole. Basically do that with all fried eggs, it makes such a tasty coating.

    My grandfather had an egg cup and I even saw him use it a few times! Definitely rare though. You could find one in the US to buy, but you'd have to really search for it.

    I'm pretty confident Williams Sonoma would carry them but that's about the only place I can think of.

    And who wants to pay $60 for a single egg cup?

    Except that really isn't what toad in the hole is. Well, sort of not. It's definitely not what toad in the hole is in England which makes that scene all the more baffling.

    V specifically called it "Eggies in a Basket", so he was specifically referring to eggs fried in toast (which is what he was cooking).

    Wait what's the problem?

    That is literally what he was making and that's what he said.

    Are you arguing the original comic was "toads in a hole" or something?

    The absolute best egg is deviled. The second best is fried, sunny-side up, with a super runny yolk.

    Where on the list do Scotch Eggs fall?
    Cause a boiled egg, coated in sausage and bread crumbs then deep fried is a pretty tasty thing that I might put above deviled eggs.
    But then, I've had some wildly mediocre deviled eggs in the past.

Fried chicken, parmesan tots (these are actually potato mixed with cheese that they make themselves omg) feta, onion, chimichurri aioli, pico de gallo on a pretzel bun. This sandwich was dense and so delicious. That was the only meal I ate that day. On Sunday, I had what is so far my favorite burger in the Tacoma area from Spanky Burger and Brew. I'm not really sure what their secret is but I knew pretty much instantly that it was the best burger I'd tried so far. I know there are a few of you in this thread that are in the Tacoma/Fife area. Any opinions on best burger?

    Eat all the eggs. They're all good. Except when you ruin them with hollandaise, but that's not the egg's fault, that's just you being a monster.

    @Ataxrxes, I grew up in the Milton/Fife area and currently work for the city of Fife.

    So with that out of the way...

    Go to Pick Quick (bring cash, they only take cash) and get yourself the best damn burger in Washington state.

    oh, it's a problem

    it's a secret plot to confuse us

    so we'll all be so busy trying to figure out what to call eggs in bread that we won't notice as the secret cabal of alien doppelgangers take over the earth

    of course, you wouldn't know anything about Alien Doppelgangers

    would you.

    At this point pretty much every name I have ever heard for that dish has been shot down as not a name for that dish, and the ones that supposedly ARE for that dish, I've never heard before. What is even happening? The Great EGG/Toast Controversy of 2017.

    Scotch eggs are near the top for me, because its almost impossible to screw them up. But good deviled eggs are divine.

    Take the yolks, mix them with salt, pepper, finely chopped sweet pickles, a little bit of mayo and a little bit of the pickle juice. Whip it up, heap it back in the egg halves. Give them a dash of paprika on top.

    Im salivating now.
