We are getting into semantics here :-) Doesn't the E-MacM have an egg
"IN" it not "ON" it? When I was a child in Britain we quite often had
fried egg sandwiches on untoasted white bread as a quick meal (sometimes
even with ketchup :-). Come to think of it, I used to make them when I
was in a hurry as a graduate student.
