Eamonn’s Deep Fried Cadbury Creme Eggs | brunch and the cityOne of my favorite things about Easter is Cadbury Creme Eggs. I know that many people think that they are weird and gross, and I really d…

It was only a matter of time before we would be dining at Eamonn’s. Saturday evening was the time. I dropped Mimi off in front, while I looked for a parking space. I expressed my anticipation as I checked in on Foursquare as I walked into Eamonn’s.
-
“Dinner w/ deep-fried Cadbury eggs for dessert w/ @tsbuttry & @mimijohnson. (@ Eamonn’s, A Dublin Chipper) 4sq.com/wo8S7a

When I sat down with Tom and MImi, I learned two things: Mimi had left her iPhone in the car and Eamonn’s hadn’t started frying Cadbury eggs yet. I headed back to the car for her phone, a bit disappointed.
-
“What?!!? They don’t have the deep-fried Cadbury eggs until closer to Easter?!!
-
“@stevebuttry Seriously? You deep fry Cadbury Eggs? I never even heard of that in England, home of the Chip Butty.
-
-
“OMG WHERE?!?! cc @WordKitchenDC “@stevebuttry: What?!!? They don’t have the deep-fried Cadbury eggs until closer to Easter?!!”
-
“Deep-fried peeps now, though. RT @stevebuttry What?!!? They don’t have the deep-fried Cadbury eggs until closer to Easter?!!
-
-
I guess I showed my disappointment a bit on my face. So while I was getting her phone, Mimi asked the young man tending the counter at Eamonn’s if they would deep-fry some Cadbury eggs if I went to the drugstore for them. He said yes. After finishing my fish and chips and beer, I went shopping for dessert.
-
“Egg update. If we get the Cadbury eggs, Eamonn’s will deep-fry them. Headed to drug store now.
-
-
“Yes. bit.ly/fRZsBn RT @AnnaTarkov: @stevebuttry @mattderienzo Deep fried Cadbury eggs exist?!!
-
“@stevebuttry I have no idea why you would do that, but it sounds so damn delicious.
-
“That’s why. RT @bldngnerd: @stevebuttry I have no idea why you would do that, but it sounds so damn delicious.
