My family considers dippy eggs two ways. When all my cousins were growing up they called over easy eggs as dippy eggs and still do along with their kids.
But my grandmother would make basically a soft boiled egg. where the egg whites were solid but the yolk would be runny still. Then you cut the top off the egg and dip your sausage, bacon, ham, or whatever into it. Hence dippy eggs.
Is this correct Gino?
Yeah, kinda.
We have eggs lotsa different ways. The soft-boiled like you mentioned and we have poached eggs which are still runny. It's almost the same, one is in the shell and the other isn't. My mom used to make a bird's nest, which was a piece of toast, put on a frying pan with a hole cut out of the middle and you'd put an egg in there and fried it up however you wanted it. Scrambled we all know along with hard-boiled.
Dippy eggs basically mean you can dip your bread or meat into the eggs. Over hard is almost scrambled, just not beaten around.
The breakfast meats are all kinds of sausages and my wife buys organic ground pork, usually 20lbs at a time and puts her own seasonings and stuff in it. Bacon, scrapple, corned beef [f
or corned beef hash mmmmm....] and this Sunday, the Goddess just alerted me that we are gonna have Scotch Eggs with our bacon.
This Sunday she is making anything I want cause it's Super Bowl Sunday. The way she cooks.... everyday is Super Bowl Sunday for me.
Personally, I go through almost 2 gallons of raw milk a week, at least a dozen eggs, all kinds of sausage and other meats, about 1-1/2 lbs of cheese along with fish and poultry. Not much bread or starches and lotsa of vegetables. I have no cholesterol problems at all.
