Would you put jam on a fried or scrambled egg?

errrr....No

End of.

Yet Jam is an acceptable topping on Pancakes? I don't see your logic? :confused:

The way flavours are matched and married together is a personal choice and socially/culturally determined.

I quite like tuna and cheese on mine, and then maybe a sugar coated one for desert if ive made a batch :smile:

And I agree with the pancake comment earlier.

Essentially a pancake is eggs and dough fried. Which is what eggy bread is. That's my view anyway :cool:

I get where you're coming from, but eggy bread doesn't really taste like pancakes in my opinion. Maybe it's just the way my parents did it, but eggy bread for me is egg saturated bread that is fried, so it tastes like a fried egg in a bready exterior :biggrin:

Pancakes are more dough-ey than eggy

A croque monsieur and eggy bread are two different dishes in their own right.

I was unaware croque-monsieur was made with eggy bread?
Oh wow, all this time I was eating a pre-existing dish!

sugar or maple syrup if having it sweet (though may have to try this jam malarky)

a bit of salt and smoked ham (possibly cheese as well) if savoury.

Personal tastes, innit? Not much point arguing about it, each to their own egg & bread combinations, i say.

If I have it with ketchup I add a bit of salt to the mixture and if I eat it with jam I add quite a bit of sugar. So either way is tasty!

You have jam and then add sugar? Do you want diabetes?

Ok, just tried both, and both are pretty weird. But not terrible (I only put a tiny amount of the respective condiments on them though).

tomato ketchup.

ketchup for savoury
sugar for sweet
thats the only way to do it :wink:

Brown sauce is the best. Although I hate the smell eggy bread leaves behind, so I rarely eat it.

I miss French Toast so much. The idea of putting jam on it is kind of gross though. I've never seen that done at home (US), where people seem to call it French Toast (most people I've talked to here don't know what it is).

At home I would put light butter on it, or maple syrup (which, again, isn't popular here). I've never heard of jam or tomato ketchup being put on it. The idea of tomato ketchup actually repulses me, in a way.

French Toast is made to be sweet, with vanilla, some light cinnamon, and milk added to the egg.

It depends on how you like it, I guess, but I'm fairly certain the traditional way to eat it is with maple syrup, butter, or both.

I didn't say you did. But in another thread today someone suggested putting ketchup on salad, and someone else suggested putting it in pasta. That is what makes me feel sick. And then I read this thread - hence the comment.

No sooner would I put ketchup on a fried or scrambled egg, personally... :s-smilie:

I agree with you. Ketchup in salad/pasta?! Ewwwwwwww.

I don't eat eggs apart from in pain perdu/eggy bread/French toast/whatever you want to call it, so can't really pass judgment there, but yeah, that sounds gross too.

Let us consult wikipedia, for wikipedia knows all:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggy_bread

Conclusion: it is primarily sweet, but is often eaten as a savoury dish.
