We must be neighbors. I went to Northern and now my kids go to Northern. I live a mile from the Yellow Breeches.

Didn’t you go to any local diners growing up? At Wolf’s Diner and Bakers they call them Dippy Eggs.

At least since I graduated high school. I used to work at the summer camp and we went to Baker's a bunch of times. So it's been 17 years.

I'm surprised you've never heard of dippy eggs then. I'm basically your neighbor (a little south of the Dillsburg Sheetz) but grew up in Chambersburg and that's what we called it

Huh. Grew up in Pittsburgh calling them dippy eggs, at home and in restaurants.

>only ever heard them called that when I visit Lancaster

My mother always called them that but she grew up just across the border from Lancaster Co, down in MD

I grew up in the same area, that's all I've ever called them because I can never remember the proper term

While we're at it, what's your opinion on Scrapple? Growing up across the border from Lancaster, I've always had scrapple and love it.

Oh scrapple is great first time I had it was cause a restaurant messed up our delivery order I think it was pepper mill me and my sister are the only ones in our family that enjoy it

Never heard that either. I grew up in south jersey and then central jersey, lived in the Lehigh Valley and now Chester county and work in Lancaster. I’m gonna have to ask at work about this.

Grew up outside of Pittsburgh, and they were always called dippy eggs.
