I respect Joy Stovall's idea for redirecting, but I don't think it's appropriate here. The original author of this stub is correct; an egg sandwich is not the same as an egg salad sandwich. An egg sandwich involves an egg, simply prepared (I've seen fried, not boiled), as one of its layers. So I'm reverting back to the stub. I'm also removing the PROD tag and adding the Sandwiches category, because I think this article could eventually be as good as the other good sandwich articles on Wikipedia. --Allen 00:41, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There's a series of posts here about fried egg sandwiches http://www.arrse.co.uk/cpgn2/Forums/viewtopic/t=20713/highlight=%22egg+banjo%22.html

Egg McMuffin

I've pondered this a bit, but I can't formulate a strong enough argument for or against this: should Egg McMuffin be split back out into its own article? Many other trademarked food items that had great impact are presented in this manner. --Takeel 14:38, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Right now the section is so short, even if you do split it it is at best a stub. I'd rather have someone expand the information first before deciding on its proper location in Wikipedia. 24.19.184.243 14:32, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

References in popular culture

I'm moving these here, because it seems to me that they are not important in the works in which they occur--just passing references. This is underlined by the fact that they are not referenced. And they do not illustrate anything important about any cultural role of egg sandwiches. Dpbsmith (talk) 18:38, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the Red Dwarf episode "Thanks for the Memory", Arnold Rimmer is given a party celebrating his death day. Once back on the ship, Dave Lister wishes he could have a '...triple fried egg butty with chili sauce and chutney.' Soon after, Rimmer in his drunken state wishes for the same thing. Holly produces one for Rimmer and after taking a bite he exclaims 'I feel like I'm having a baby!' The scene continues on for several minutes.

In the Biz Markiesong "Dinner Date," Markie expresses his desire to eat an egg sandwich off of a woman's rear end.

Frank's Egg Palace

I'm moving this here because I don't think it's sufficiently notable or relevant, and the "jism" details read like a crude joke. I notice that we have no article on Gregory Frank. I notice that http://gregfrank.com (and http://www.gregfrank.com) is the website for a realtor, not a restaurant. Therefore, even if a restaurant's own website were a reliable source for the restaurant's importance... which it isn't... the contents of the cited source don't support the content.

Chef Gregory Frank owns a world reknowned restaurant named "Franks Egg Palace" where he serves egg sandwiches is a library-type setting. The setting has been rumored to be based off of his childhood, when he ate egg sandwiches with jism topping in the school library. Greg loves eating them in the library with jism, and the restaurant portrays his love. A special style is the egg sandwich with jism and a sliced footlong black sausage, which Greg engorged at the opening. Go to [gregfrank.com] to get more details.

Cress as a filler

In the United Kingdom, which is where I live, cress is a popular accompaniment to egg sandwiches, just how cucumber is popular with tuna sandwiches (there is a famous sandwich here called the "BLT", "bacon, lettuce and tomato" again showing how certain protein fillings are associated with certain salad vegetable fillings). I think that it would be good if some one could do some research into how egg sandwiches came to be associated with cress, put in the references and leave comments on this page.

Ludicrously, the only other illustration captioned "egg sandwich" is plainly a) either a hamburger with egg and cheese or b) a "Sausage Egg McMuffin" and therefore soft advertising - and equally misleading. An egg sandwich it is not. An even better candidate for deletion.
