Which of these classic British egg recipes looks the best?

[purplepoppy]

Here's 3 well known British egg dishes, 1 from each country. I've left out Ireland because all I can find is a boiled egg wrapped in a mashed potato ball.

England. Egg and chips. A plate of chips and soft fried eggs to dip them in. Sometimes, beans are added.

Scotland. Kedgeree. Curried rice, smoked haddock, and eggs. A popular breakfast dish.

Wales. Anglesey eggs. Creamy mashed potato and leeks with eggs plonked in and covered in cheese sauce.

So, three traditional popular recipes no one outside of the UK has probably eaten. But which is the best? And if you're American, can you remember eggs?

Given the choice, I'd go for the Scottish Kedgeree. I like the combination of curry rice with smoked fish and eggs. Looks very nice in the picture by the way. To be honest, although not from the UK, I sometimes prepared a similar dish, with a few leftovers (rice, smoked salmon, and an egg or two for the fun ;0)

The Welsh version with the unpronounceable name seems delicious, with an typical family table look. I'd have some with pleasure. Looks nice also.

The English eggs and chips, with or without beans... eh... no, does not look nice, as in case of fastfood. I could eat it, but the combination lacks subtlety to say the least.

"Angles -ee- egg" simple or "ooh ee eye in his moan"

[mstbooblover]

Wow... impressive ;0)

I think the Welsh dish sounds best as I love leeks... and cheese.
I never saw egg and chips while I was in East Anglia, but did have "soldiers". Essentially a soft boiled egg with one end nicked off, and toast cut in strips for dipping out the gooey yolk. That was ok.
Here you'll see deviled eggs, but that's really more of an hors d'oeuvre and is usually quite spicy. The yolk is plucked out of halved hard boiled eggs and mixed with condiments and spices and then squeezed back into the bowl left in the whites. Quite popular.

Personally it simply has to be Egg, Chips and Beans. 🇬🇧

[Iron_Man]

I thought that was Hash at first but I guess they’re beans

[EmmaMary]

Thank you so much for the MHO.

The first choice is the best in my opinion.

As someone who loves exploring different cuisines, it's thrilling to dive into British egg dishes. Each of these has its unique charm. Egg and chips evoke comfort with their simplicity and nostalgia. Kedgeree combines fragrant spices and smoked fish for a flavorful breakfast adventure. Anglesey eggs offer rich, creamy indulgence with a cheesy finish. Considering my passion for international flavors, I'd lean toward kedgeree for its layered and complex taste profile. 🏴🍳 The blend of curry, haddock, and eggs is a delightful fusion worth experiencing, reminiscent of a culinary journey I once had in Edinburgh.

I think the last one looks nice. I'd be unsure about the cheese sauce part though.

I only ate the English sample.
Not trying to scratch you back, but... please give details about the Welsh Meow Üns Mönn
thingamajig :) - looks great.

Basically as the description says, really it's irish champ but with leeks and you poke eggs in, cover on cheese and melt in the oven

[Iron_Man]

I will eat the eggs and chips. You British call chips french fries. They don’t look good leave those out that’s not really for breakfast French fries are for hamburger 🍔 meals like lunch or dinner by the way, don’t forget your ketchup for the fries

[AviatorTom]

They all look good and I would happily eat any of them. I'd prefer the egg and chips. Dipping a chip into the egg yoke before savoring its taste... mmmm... now I'm hungry.

[OneViewpoint]

Well I'm of Scottish heritage and I love haddock so, I had to go with the Kedgeree.

[DJB72]

As an Englishman I'd go with egg and chips from these, but I'd rather stick with scotch eggs

[Wiredone]

I'll have the eggs and chips ( French fries).

[Anonymous]

As a vegetarian, I'd say C and A are definitely my kind of recipes.

[DrPepper12]

Eggs of all kinds, preparation & cuisine are just delicious!!!

[jamesgoldman]

Egg and chips but have wanted to make kedgeree and will try the Welsh route as well

[NathanDavis]

WALES FOR THE WIN

[Jay-_-]

No idea, but if I'm hungry, I'm eating all of them.

[exitseven]

I tke the egg and chips.

[Bklynbadboy12]

The eggs and fries but first you have to cook those eggs

[Lynx122]

The last one looks the tastiest to me :)

[wynn-ing]

Beans on toast or get out

[Smegskull]

Ham, egg n' chips. But, close enough.

[fish5505_87]
