When you make a nice roll in soft egg, do you burst the yolk before eating (and mop it up with the roll) or not and thus risking it exploding in your mouth and all down your front?

None of the above.
I put my egg in the roll.

I wonder if Phil's spreadsheet skills would stretch as far as a Ralph translator.
I'm going to hazard a guess here that 'roll in soft egg' means fried egg bun. In which case my preferred solution is to fry the egg just long enough that it is still mushy but not likely to drip everywhere when bitten.
Pinwig does not do sticky things. It upsets him greatly.

Also, in all possible instances: knife, fork, plate. It makes things so much easier.

I do neither, as Eggs cause me internal distress and I can no longer eat them. I also never put a fried egg in a roll. Fried eggs were things I only ate as part of a full cooked breakfast, so they went on the plate along with the sausage, bacon, baked beans and fried bread. (The fried bread being used to mop up the egg yolk which escaped when the fried egg was eaten). Karl |

I knew we could rely on Karl to talk sense. I agree. Put it on a plate and eat it properly. None of this waving it about in a bun business.

I generally do not eat eggs. Omelette is about as close as I'll get

I do like a nice sausage and egg bap.
I'd never eat an omelette in or out of a roll though.

A roll in sausage and egg can be nice.

The egg must always go on top of the sausage.

A roll in sausage and egg can be nice. -Ralph ...this is weird. Why are you describing the sandwich outer first? It's the other way round. One describes the inner first. Ham in a roll, egg in a roll, sausage in a bap, etc. Why can't you speak proper, Doc'?! |

And you people are WEAK! I want my yolk RUNNY! Then the yummy goodness runs all into whatever else is in the sandwich, like the bacon, or the sausage. LIVE LIFE DANGEROUSLY!

The roll isn't in the egg!
The egg is in the roll!
The egg is literally in the roll!
You don't put a roll in-between two eggs!!!
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?!?!

It's just what you say. If you go into a Chippy and ask for a roll in chips they give it to you.

If you go into a Chippy and ask for a roll in chips they give it to you. I wouldn't dare. I think if I asked for a roll in chips they'd interpret it in a way that would not end well. If someone asked me for a roll in chips, without explaining that they meant chips in a roll / a chips roll, I would try to escape from them. Martin |

That does make it very unclear as to whether the fish is in the roll or not.

Or whether the fish is his dining/wrestling partner.

Yes, very true. I'm just trying to work out whether there's a genuine dialectic origin behind this, but surely there can't be as the sentence is too ambiguous.
Although the thought of Ralph wrestling a fish in a paddling pool filled with Alphabites is curiously appealing.
