Growing up in England I was lucky enough to be openly exposed to it's carb-heavy, artery clogging and delightfully named cuisine. I grew up consuming Toad in the Hole, Sheperds's Pie with Mushy Peas, Bangers and Mash, Saveloys with Chips, oh the list goes on and on...Not only is the cuisine exceedingly different than in America but the actual names of the mealtimes differ too. Breakfast was brekkie, lunch was dinner, dinner was tea or supper. Your midmorning snack would be called elevensess based of the hour of consumption. Sunday was a different animal altogether. It was breakfast, Sunday lunch and then tea. This was my favorite meal day. I loved Sunday lunch as I have expressed to you before. Of course, I would go crazy for the roast and all it's accoutrement but, my favorite part of the day was tea time. Since lunch was so big and filling, teatime would be a light snack of nibbles, just something to tide you over. Plates of cakes, sandwiches and possibly pancakes (crepes) smothered with butter and lemon juice. Oh the memories. In England, a perfectly fine teatime dish would be beans on toast. This would be a standard for me, I loved it. The perfectly crisp bread laden with butter and smothered in creamy beans. I couldn't get enough.
Not long ago on a night by myself, not wanting to cook, I provided myself a little trip down memory lane. While heating up the beans I thought to myself, I want something more, something to add a little pizzazz. That's when it hit me: add an egg! I pulled an egg out of the fridge and fried it up. The beautiful white surrounding the creamy, gooey, sunshine orange center. I placed this perfect food atop the beans on toast and I was in business. It was pure heaven, the yolk melding with the beans, the grainy, chewy bread, a perfect vehicle for consumption. Last night, I had to have it. And I did.
