My mom grew up as one of 5 kids and you got eggs and toast for breakfast - the eggs all cooked at once and the toast buttered on a plate. My dad also grew up as one of 5 but the eggs were cooked "to order" and served individually; toast was served dry to butter your own. So that was what I was used to as well.
When we got married DH grew up like my mom... so we compromised - eggs were cooked "to order" and toast was served buttered....
It was a real shock to me to be served fried eggs cooked as many as 12 to a pan and cut apart to serve.... with his family....
