Simple Breakfast Food

Yesterday, I posted a picture of an egg and a piece of toast on my Facebook page, and I received 88 comments so far. For the most part, the comments were nice and positive, but some were rude and negative. I received 384 'like's and 30 people shared this simple picture of a soft fried egg and a piece of pan fried toast.


I was told that this is toad in a hole, eggs in a nest, poached egg on toast and one eyed jacks. Actually, I made French Toast for my son and had a tiny bit of egg mixture left in the bowl. It only partially covered one side, so it's basically pan fried toast. I fried the egg because I don't care for syrup with French Toast. The picture above is of what I called:
 "A farm egg and buttered white bread toast... salt and pepper.It doesn't get any fresher, simpler or better... and I love runny eggs :-)"
I received several comments of 'yuck', 'ewwww' and one 'gross'. I had to laugh. I know that the runny or 'dippy' eggs are going to cause a knee jerk response, add some people even commented on a gag reflex problem. Again, I had to laugh, until a guy questioned the southern-ness of my dish. He labeled himself 'my Yankee self' and said... 
"Not particularly southern though. My Yankee self ate this long before moving here."
What did I say about the knee jerk reactions of earlier comments? LOL If you know me... I like to laugh! I like to be funny! But, I am a Southern Belle and us Southern Belles are a loyal and passionate lot. However, I'm not about to get into a debate on who invented the egg! I simply posted this picture with this heading:
"Someone said something earlier about me and my food not being "Southern". This is my daughter-in-law, and she didn't like that!!!"
Hee Hee Hee!!!


Here's a picture for the guy that told me that I forgot the bacon. I was out of bacon, but here's some bacon and some sausage too!

I never thought a picture of a simple fried egg and a piece of toast would cause such controversy! LOL

    As a lifelong Californian, I often enjoy over easy eggs on plain sourdough toast. I think I got it from my mother, who was born in Boston and raised in the Midwest. Fried egg sandwiches are even better. The best part? Egg yoke running down my beard!

    I love your reaction to the controversy...I,as well, ate fried eggs with runny centers on toast and also 3 minute eggs with bits of bread and they also have soft centers. I love your recipes but can't pin or print them. Please help?

      Not sure why you can't pin them. I pin straight from here. As far as printing, I have added the print button, and you should be able to print from the recipes now. Thanks for sharing and thanks for visiting Southern With A Twist! I hope you come back often! :-)
