I am not a fan of fussy food (at least at this stage of my culinary development). I knew a guy in college who once uttered the following on a Wednesday afternoon in the student lounge: "I am going to the party of all parties tonight on the Upper East Side. Cristal to drink and privilege food, you know?"
No, I didn't know. According to him, "privilege food" equated to caviar, pate...that whole deal.
Fish egg gunk? No thank you. Clearly, I had "not yet developed a sophisticated taste palette" (His words again). Sidebar: the two of us had a tendency to engage in heated debates with one another in political science class...who woulda thunk?!
Anyway, as I was saying, I do not particularly enjoy snobbery in people or in food. What I do enjoy, is good food. Good is a very relative term and I am aware of this. And tonight, for me, good equated to a childhood favorite called "Egg in the Whole."
Egg in the Hole is exactly what it sounds like. You crack an egg into a piece of bread with a center hole cut out of it, and fry it up in a pan. That's it. That's the whole recipe.
I know, I know, it's really difficult to make. You'll slave for hours over this one. Oh, and did I mention how expensive the ingredients are? Just look how elegant it is...so worthy of being served at an upper echelon society party ;)
