A man who ordered an "egg burger" from his local chip shop was left stunned after receiving just a fried egg in a bun. The customer, who shared his experience on Reddit, said he and his partner had laughed when they realised what they had been given, adding that they did not complain.
The man explained that he had ordered an 8oz burger with onions, mayonnaise and thousand island sauce, while his partner opted for an egg burger. However, when they got home, they discovered the chip shop had simply placed an egg in a burger bun. "Should I have been more specific when ordering or should the chip shop ask a follow up question to make sure they got it right?" he asked.
The post sparked a lively debate in the comments, with opinions divided on what an "egg burger" actually entails. One person said: "It's a chippy, I'd expect anything from a plain burger with a fried egg to a deep fried burger with an omelette." Another argued: "Fried egg in a bun. But looks like I'm the only one who would expect that!"
However, a third countered: "That's an egg butty to me. Sounds daft but it needs a burger to be an egg burger!" Another user added: "The word burger implies that it includes a patty, likely beef. I've never heard the term egg burger!"
