What is the Best Sandwich?

Lunchbox:
Wow, I thought 'over easy' meant cooked all the way through, according to wiki this is not the case! What a terrible breakfast waitress I must have been all those years!

Fried eggs are sometimes served on toast, or in a sandwich, often with bacon, sausages,or a variety of condiments. It is also an essential part of the full breakfast commonly eaten in Britain and Ireland. Fried eggs are often served with ham or gammon steak as a popular pub grub meal. They are usually cooked without turning over, in the style Americans call "sunny side up", though the term is not used locally. The egg is cooked on a slow heat as hot fat is splashed onto the top of the egg. This results in a custard-like yolk with a cooked surface.
United States and Canada
North Americans use many different terms to describe fried eggs, including:
A style known simply as 'fried' — eggs are fried on both sides with the yolks broken until set or hard.
'Over well', also called 'over hard' or 'hard' — cooked on both sides until the yolk has solidified.
'Over medium' — cooked on both sides; the yolk is of medium consistency and the egg white is thoroughly cooked.
'Over easy', also called 'over light or runny' — cooked on both sides; the yolk is a thin liquid, while the egg white is partially cooked. "Over easy" fried eggs are also commonly referred to as dippy eggs or dip eggs by Marylanders and by Pennsylvania Dutch persons living in southern Pennsylvania, mainly due to the practice of dipping toast into the yolk while eating.
'Sunny side up' — cooked only on one side; yolk is liquid; the egg white is often still a bit runny as well. This is often known simply as 'eggs up'. Gently splashing the hot cooking oil or fat on the sunny side uncooked white, i.e., basting, may be done to thoroughly cook the white. Covering the frying pan with a lid during cooking (optionally adding a cover and half-teaspoon of water just before finishing) allows for a less "runny" egg, and is an alternate method to flipping for cooking an egg over easy (this is occasionally called 'sunny side down').

Sunny Side Up and Over Easy are of course properly defined as the two sides of Paul McCartney and Wings's album Back to the Egg.

Doesn't work on CD, though...

KharBevNor:
Wow, yeah, I can't be doing with hard yolk really. I mean, it ain't something that would kill me, but runny yolks are a bajillion times better.

David_Dovey:
Oh OK, well in that case what I actually meant is I prefer my eggs "over medium" to "over hard"

Mom got groceries this morning and man did she ever get groceries. I did her tax return and it was good so she's buying us good food and I was unpacking the bags and found like three kinds of cheeses and meats each. Right now I am doing chevre, montreal smoked meat, and hot salami on bread and it is a good sandwich in the sunshine.
