The scene where the ladies were in kitchen talking about customers. Ivy served peas with eggs. Is that normal there?

Is it not very much the case that in quite a few cafés with quite a few dishes 'peas or baked beans' is offered as an alternative.
Not with egg !!
I presume that, going right back to original query, the eggs in question were fried eggs.
I do concur that fried eggs and peas would be unusual. But so in a way would be fried eggs on their own with beans. Much more likely would be fried eggs and chips along with which one could have either beans or peas. (Have we made clear that here we are talking about the UK version of baked beans?) Maybe an aside would be that beans are more likely at breakfast and peas become likelier at lunch time.
I have been thinking about how the eggs are cooked. I still think eggs and peas or beans only is unusual. Fried eggs and beans might be served as a child's meal. The only accompaniment to boiled eggs would be toast. I suggest likewise for poached eggs unless served as part of a full breakfast with all the works. I would be quite happy with either beans or peas with scrambled egg. And quite categorically I am much more likely to have peas with an omelette than beans.
This is all making me a bit hungry.
You must have a had a sheltered life Unc ,egg and beans on toast was a staple in our house. Now you've got me hungry :hungry::hungry:
I noticed that too Dick! You could hear the first one clank on the plate! "Not in my establishment!". LolAnd how plastic they both looked!! Mind you a possible delicacy was Chips ,eggs and peas. At least it was, local to my area!

Chips eggs peas yes please,or sausage chips peas eggs and peas, just as I like a drop of vinegar on my bacon in a sandwich f course adds a nice tang to it.Of course beans on toast with an egg is a favourite but I have never been fond of poached eggs .
