So simple, yet so delicious and it's getting made for dinner tonight.

Yes, simple pleasures. Mmm. How many calories though? Should I only have 1 egg?

But calories don't count if it's a National day, do they? Go on have two eggs.

2 poached eggs, two sausages, chips & beans. Worcestershire sauce for the beans & brown for the sausage...

Think I may have that for my tea tonight too, come to think of it.

Eggs should only ever be on the same plate as beans if there is a solid barrier to seperate the two. A sausage is ideal for this. Maybe 2 or 3 just to make sure. An egg should never ever be compromised by direct contact with bean juice

That makes me feel uneasy too.

GF doesn't get it.

Do we reckon gods eat? Surely they don't need to as it means they would have to poo which is messy and they could probably do without all the fuss.

But then how are you going to mix the yolk with the beans? This is an unnecessary complication.

Just use the chips as an egg/bean barrier if it bothers you. You can even stack the chip in the form of an actual wall. Adding sausages is a bonus.

Personally though i'd happily slap a egg or two on top of beans on toast!!

The white of the egg can’t be runny and clear. Not even a tiny bit. I’ll tolerate over easy if sunny side up with no clear is beyond your skill set. The beans need to have had the liquid at the top of the tin run off before warming so they form more of a mound than a slick. The chips need to be a proper David Dickinson in colour. Sauce brown and salt and vinegar or tap.

Always two eggs and three sausages, however tonight after the gym we will be going with fish finger butties with chips and beans.

Alternatively you can raise the egg(s) on a plinth of fried bread.

Christ there's some fussy buggers on here. It all goes down the same hole so does it matter what touches what on the plate?

Egg, chips and beans is great there's no doubt

But.... egg, chips, beans and gammon ham last night was brilliant... The colemans brought out the almost fruitiness of the gammon ?

But the best part of my meal was the company.... Me and the lad, 8, sitting opposite each other. He lite a candle and told he how he didn't like mondays because, "my hand writing is all rubbish, after not writing at the weekend" 🙂

Oh ... and we both built chip walls to stop the dread egg/bean mix

Salt n vinegar on the chips, black pepper on the beans, egg and ham.

But l forgot the cup of tea to wash it down.

Now this is as bonkers as Mrs Digga who, if I've cooked sausage, beans and mash, will go utterly ballistic if I don't construct a mash dam to stop the snags getting 'contaminated' with bean juice.

People really need to stop being so precious. It all goes in and comes out the same way.

There are no situations where you can't have salt and vinegar on your chips.

You have sausage and mash without gravy?? are you insane? no amount of bean juice will ever compensate for that.

I find the chips perform as an effective “boom” betwixt the egg and bean juice. S&V on the chips. HP and salt on the egg. At least two slices of Warburton’s Toastie loaf buttered. Sublime really.

Copious amounts of brown sauce go some way to restoring the balance, I feel. Although I'm stealing this suggestion next time:

scruff9252
Worcestershire sauce for the beans & brown for the sausage…

Eggs go on top of the chips, then you can stab the yolks to coat the chips in yolk

The beans need to be swapped for peas obvs

What kind of mad person brings calorie worries to an egg, chips and beans thread? I really want sausage, egg, chips and beans now.

No no no nooo! I REALY want egg, chips and beans now! But I'm trying to get into shape and have a diet and exercise plan. This does not fit my plan 🙁

I'm allowed 1 cheat day week to eat what I want but as its bro's day on Friday and mum is making a special meal my cheat day is already reserved! I'm going to have to wait till next week now to have this ... [grumpy face]

"Eggs go on top of the chips, then you can stab the yolks to coat the chips in yolk"

This is food porn for me!

They do poo, it lands down here on us.

This I agree with. I can't countenance salt and vinegar with anything other than fish.

Away with your poached eggs. Fried eggs or none at all. Down with your chip walls and to hell with sausage breakwaters. Let the juices mingle.
A vegetarian sausage is ideal though.😀

A "vegetarian sausage" is a non-sequitur par excellence. Neither those strange fungusy things nor the pressed vegetable mash cylinders are a sausage.

Also, none of these meals, fine though they are, have yet featured bacon or black pudding, or fried onion rings, or mushrooms, or steak.

At LAST. Someone who agrees with me.
I struggle with them on the same plate tbh.
The flavours just clash so badly.

My son thinks I am menthol.

Well it was made for dinner and it was as every bit good as expected. Real homemade chips, Branston baked beans (with dash of Worcestershire sauce - thanks to scruff9252) and two fried eggs. Served with slices of buttered plain loaf bread and washed down with a bottle of Schiehallion lager.

Happy National Egg, Chips and Beans Day 2019!

Beans should be heated on the hob for no less than 15 minutes. Egg yokes should be firm with a runny centre, no runny white - basted rather than flipped. Beans & egg should be encouraged to mix freely.
