• acidic salty sour goes with eggs. this is an eternal law of eggs, a cultural universal.

    ketchup is the quick and easy. some kind of thick tomato based sauce is the classic. from huevos rancheros to menemen/shakshouka to chinese tomato egg stir-fry / jia chang cai, everybody does this and loves it. except the dumbass angloid gas bags that put the gas in gastronomie, tripping over their own dicks finding expensive and labor intensive ways to keep eggs bland.

      I tried to explain HP/brown sauce to some Americans recently and got as far as “…it’s good”. No idea how to describe it. But it goes great on eggs and is white people friendly

      Shakhouska is the goddamn bomb. It’s the epitome of dish that’s super easy to put together but tastes great and makes you look like a way better chef than you actually are.

      Also, don’t know if this fits in the acidic salty sour paradigm but a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel or roll is S+ tier.
