A fried egg is a food made from an egg fried whole with minimal accompaniment. They are traditionally eaten for breakfast, lunch or tea in English-speaking countries, but may be eaten at other times of the day in other cultures. Fried eggs are distinguished from other forms of eggs cooked in a frying pan, such as scrambled eggs and omelettes, in that the white and yolk are kept distinct rather than beaten or mixed together.
History[]
Eggs being fried in a frying pan
In 1991, Harry Potter was in charge of frying the eggs for Dudley Dursley's birthday.[1] In 1992, Vernon Dursley had remains of fried eggs in his moustache while he was yelling at Harry.[2] Also in 1992, the Weasley family was eating fried eggs with bacon as their breakfast.[3] Later that year, Ron commented "You could have fried an egg on your face. You'd better hope Creevey doesn't meet Ginny, or they'll be starting a Harry Potter Fan Club," after seeing Harry's reaction to his singing Valentine from Ginny.[4]
Fried egg was sometimes served as part of regular breakfasts at Hogwarts. One morning in early 1997, Ron waved a forkful of fried egg as he expressed his confidence that Harry would easily be able to get the memory about Horcruxes from Horace Slughorn.[5]
