Everyone seems nuts over french toast, with vanilla, sugar and syrup. But I grey up on savoury eggy bread (it was called gy**y bread then).
Just eggs, milk and lots of salt. It's a completely different experience.

I have no idea where the association with eggy bread and travellers came from in the Southend region. Is it a Roma dish? Does it come from the Irish travellers (Pikey)?
I don't really know anything about the Roma side of my family, other than it was covered up for being socially unacceptable. I am pretty sure that attitude meant any cultural aspects were buried as well- so what little trickled down through my family traditions I have no idea.
Anyway, egg bread with lots of salt, and if you are feeling a sweet tooth you have it with a brown sauce like HP.
