redbug Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) Just wondering if anyone heard of these. My dad always called them these when I was a child. It is an fried/poached egg in between 2 slices of bread/toast. click My dad has been deceased for years but just could't get the thought/words out of my head. The mind works strangely. So had one for breakfast. Was thinking if it was something he used, none of my friends call egg sandwich a egg banjo.

Lavenders_Blue Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I love a fried egg sandwich, but have never heard it called an egg banjo before. I agree that the runniness of the yolk is crucial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatieB Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 OMG we have egg banjo's in our house. I thought it was something that DH had made up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 My dad called them that too. He died in 1978. I think he learned to make them when he was in the army just after WW2. He also liked to make corned beef fritters or even spam fritters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickendoodle Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 My OH uses it too - just looked it up and the name was coined by soldiers in WW2 as the act of trying to wipe off the yolk running down your shirt looked like you were playing a banjo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
