After our conversation about wishing well eggs, a listener from Viroqua, Wisconsin, chimes in with another name for this egg-in-toast dish: UFOs, short for Unidentified Frying Objects. This is part of a complete episode.

Grant, you remember our conversation with Kelsey about wishing well eggs?
Yeah, that’s a piece of bread, maybe buttered into the hole torn in the middle, and you fry the egg right there in the hole.
Right, and it goes by lots of different names like cowboy eggs and pirate’s eye.
We also heard another name from Lydia Elizabeth. She lives in Viroqua, Wisconsin. She said, my family called them UFOs, and that was a name that they got from a kid’s cookbook, and it stands for Unidentified Frying Object.
Oh.
Well, I hope you know what you’re eating.
Right.
Mommy, can we have UFOs for breakfast?
I love it.
We don’t care if you’re an earthling or an alien.
