What does YOUR family call a fried egg cracked into toast?
Just had a couple for dinner, because in butter they are delicious.

Grandma Dingbat called this dish "cackleberries."

"dingbat" called them the same thing. Must have been a generational thing.

12. Pocket eggs!
My sister was talking about those during her visit... I don't miss 'em too much, and so far can't get the kids to eat eggs at all... so... maybe someday in the future I'll be makin 'em... but so far they're just a fond memory.

Ketchup all over it.

29. No one ever accused my Dad of being gourmet!
Though I sometimes think the ketchup thing was just his way of getting to me, "You won't put ketchup on that!"

Splat!!

30. Never had that tradition, although I like the "cackleberries" name.
We had dropped egg on toast but that's with a poached egg, not a fried one.
