Have some unusual 'family names' for foods? Sop-Eggs [View all]
Grandpa always cooked Sunday breakfast.
It was usually 'oven toast', sausage patties, and 'sop-eggs'.
Sop eggs were cooked in the sausage grease (AMBROSIA!) sunny side up.
He used a spoon to baste the tops with the sausage leavins until they were cooked.
NO RUNNY WHITES!
Then you'd sop up the yolks with the toast.
My nephew's family in Texas called them 'dip-it-eggs'.
The first time he had grits he wasn't too sure about them so his mom told him they were 'little rice'.
He loved rice.
In third grade his teacher asked each kid what they'd had for breakfast.
And he said "I had dip-it eggs, little rice, and biscuits."
The class laughed at that and he was mortified.
When he got home he asked his mom if there was anything else that his family had weird names for.
OK, what weird names for foods does your family have?
