What the hell are "Dippy Eggs?"

[LafayetteBear]

Actually, I got that answer to that question, and a shiat ton of laughs, from looking at a Facebook page called "Meanwhile in Philly." I'm guessing that a number of you have already seen it, but I thought I would mention it here for those who haven't. Some of the posts/pictures are funny as hell. I have posted a few below. I hope they come through.

“Oh, you’re a Cowboys fan. When did you live in Texas? I’ll wait. Oh, never? When’s the last time they won a Super Bowl?” End scene. Drop the mic.

Yo.

Depending on the voice inflection and context it can have many definitions.

Just start saying “yo” to your wine and cheese Marin County friends.

Fried eggs over easy such that one can poke a hole in the yolk and dip some toast into it.

I don't play that game. I take a knife to them and fork a bit of yellow white mess onto the toast.

Someone posted a pretty funny article from Onward State about a young lady from (maybe) IL who was adapting to the quirks of PA life.....

Me thinks you need a nice plate of dippy eggs and scrapple to restore balance in your life..... (I guess coupled with a nice cup of boilo - which I've never "enjoyed").

Your wife's bull makes you do this. And you love downing it.

This isn't the politics board.

I grew up eating dippy eggs and toast, with bacon on the side, for breakfast. Apparently, in the UK, they consider a dippy egg to be a soft-boiled egg, still in shell, with the top chopped off, and they dip toast strips called "soldiers" into it. They're freaks over there. Reasonable people know dippy eggs are sunny side up.

Oh, alright. I'll remove it. But it was still hilarious.

 

[Achowalogan]

Sunny side up with the eyes wide open but not crying....

 

[TiredOldLion]

Best when fried in bacon grease in a hot pan so the edges of the egg get brown and crunchy. White bread toast to soak up the liquid yoke. With a glass of extra cold fresh cow’s milk. The milk you can pour the cream off the top of for your coffee after breakfast.

Dippy eggs are what grew up with and so did my kids even though we lived in other places. They had some of their friends laughing at them for calling them dippy eggs. They are still dippy eggs at my house.

Yeah it was great.

Grew up in York and they were always dippy eggs. Or if we were REALLY lucky, mom would make us bird-in-a-nest eggs

First time I heard this term was from mother in-law who grew up in Punxatawney. I swore it was a cutesy, depression-era term originating from that area.

Dippy eggs...ye take me back bear.

Eastern PA is like it’s own separate universe. I grew up in Western PA and never heard of half the stuff you guys post about and say are “Pennsylvania” things.

I grew up in Western Pa and we called them dippy eggs and ours weren't over easy.

Lol. I thought this was a cheesesteak. Perfect.

 

[gogolion]

Hmmm, I never knew dippy eggs were a Philly thing. I grew up in Massachusetts and come to think of it we never called them that. I guess I learned it when I lived in the Baltimore or 14 years after my PSU days (some Philly influence tends to trickle down to Baltimore).

It's what my niece (Cleveland area) calls them.

How about "Hole-in-the-bread"?

Every hear of that one??

Reasonable people know dippy eggs are sunny side up.

So, my family called soft boiled eggs "googy eggs" so as not to be confused with dippy eggs.

Was that a PA thing too or just my family?

 

[lein]

meanwhile, dippy eggs in England...

 

[BrucePa]

In Lancaster, dippy eggs were always sunny-side-up and barely cooked through on top. Toast was used to dip into the yolks, which also picked up some of the dippy whites around the yolk.

My mom used to serve soft boiled eggs in a cup - like a coffee cup.

It was called "eggs in a cup"........... That's what we called "googy eggs".

Or eggs in the hole. I was wondering if this one would show up. Nice.

 

[Hotshoe]

Over easy is over easy. That's an egg that is flipped over in the pan or steamed to cook the top of the yoke a bit. Dippy is sunny side up. Takes talent to cook properly without overcooking the bottom or making crispy edges.

LOL, my friend’s dad called them Army Eggs! Here is an article with 66 different names for this type of egg with some great pics...

I knew some girls that liked eggs in the hole with some sausage.

Mix the eggs with pieces of buttered toast then white pepper lightly. Serve in a bowl. Kids go crazy over them.

You're talkin bout a Pig-eye, Glov.

Is that what you call it sir?

I've also heard "hobo-eggs"

I read the linked piece, with 66 names on it, and did not see Pig eye. But that's what it is.

I am deeply suspicious of alternate names for the Pig eye. It hints at cultural chasms too big to bridge.
