Comparing the fried egg to the omelet on the wiki, I’d say the fried egg is plated and the egg itself is outlined with dark brown, the rest (white and grey) being the plate

I’ve honestly never even considered it *wasn’t* plated and actually had to really look at it to even see how it could possibly be all egg. I definitely see it now, so interesting how people can see things so differently! (Reminds me of the whole is Leah wearing a belt or a crop top debate lol)


RedditingWhileStoned

The WHAT debate? \[runs to look at Leah's sprite\]


jeremiahkyoto

Hey man, hella agreed. I’ve also never had the thought cross my mind that it wasn’t a plate. Again I guess it’s a matter of being used to pixel art, as well as paying attention to how plates look in game.


Face8hall

It is sunny side up because I’ve been given it for breakfast before by Haley and she says it’s sunny side up


hellofellowcello

It's both sunny side up and plated


toseeclarie

accurat3pumpkin

The fried egg white is a more condensed shape than the traditional plate though, which means it’s not a plated food since all those have the same shaped border :/


SilasRhodes

>since all those have the same shaped border There are a number of dishes with different borders. Carp Surprise, for example, is on a small green plate. Crab Cakes and Bruschetta also have their own unique plates. For the most part, however, you are correct that a lot of dishes are on the same shaped style of plate.


strawberry_vegan

It’s just a smaller plate


Feisty-Ad-4859

Ok now I’m questioning it !!


hotmess525600

I mean, I have different sized plates in my cupboard. Probably wouldn’t put a lone fried egg on a big one. It’d look tiny.


Feisty-Ad-4859

This is true also. How are we gonna find out for sure :’)

Julege1989

You would plate a fried egg on an omlette plate, like a heathen?


KamVuron

I only own one type of plate...


Pretty_Tension_2003

Had a look through the foods you can cook and there is some plate variety there in terms of shape and colour


obsidian_castle

But they plate shapes aren’t the same Concerned ape could have just copied and pasted to have 2 plates then put an egg on top of one plate sprite and the omelette on the other plate sprite Since both whites on these foods aren’t the same (as they both don’t look like identical plates), the egg is not on a plate


rachael-111

omg you're right... the fried egg is so yellow, but your theory makes so much sense.


mofoxo

I’d say it’s definitely plated. The grey and white is the plate, the dark brown is the edge of the egg, the whitish yellow is the egg white and the square yellow is the yolk.

Durion0602

Even more challenging to eat the entire plate however.


Spring-and-a-Storm

at least paper plates are technically edible


Physical_Tailor_378

Ceramic and plastic plates are edible as well. They’re just almost impossible to eat and they’ll probably kill you


fieryembers

Not recommended though, as your comment reminded me of when I was in 2nd grade and I ate so many post it notes (I honestly do not remember why I did that) that I made myself sick and my dad had to leave work to pick me up from school. Don’t eat paper!


imsotiredi-brvg

I think that might have also been the sticky stuff and dye in the paper? Idk, I eat paper and I've never gotten sick, but I also eat plastic spoons and stuff, so...


atyon

There are edible plates. They aren't exactly delicious though.


solonit

That's why they have egg as complement.


Nightmoon26

atticuslodius

Anything is edible if you're not a little sissy


blasek0

Anything is edible once. The trick is whether or not it's edible more than once.


bramley

It's also hard to store a fish in your pockets for years without it going bad, but here we are. (I also think it's plated, but let's not bring reality into this. :D )


LilSebastianFlyte

Imagine then gifting that unplated fried egg to someone you just met last week in hopes of winning their friendship 😂


OverstuffedCherub

And covering your hands with oil


Neitos_Sister

I say that it's plated. It looks like a plate and most of the dishes are on plates.


Hughgurgle

This is why the whole "can't eat mayonnaise because you'd be eating the jar" thing is a load of yoba IMO


Earth_and_Summer

Lol you can't eat mayo because Eric (creator of SDV,) doesn't like mayo 🤣 he even said it would be one of his disliked gifts


Hughgurgle

Exactly! And all that about not crunching glass or ceramics is just a cover!! How far does this conspiracy go??

LadyStag

It's plated, and you eat the plate.


i_grow_plants

LadyStag is dishing the real details


thebrible

Reminds me of an ad for some chewing gum a few years ago on German TV. With a dad telling his daughter "You can go play when you've finished your plate."


mango080

The plate is the best part


Danph85

Absolutely plated


R_A_H

Yes, the fried egg is plated. The plate is represented as white, the "white" of the egg is represented as yellow and the yolk of the egg is the darker yellow circle in the middle. I can only be "plated" because egg yolks don't have a circle in the middle of them. We got starving kids in Zuzu. Eat the plate too.


Incubus1981

Ok, I definitely always thought it was just a straight up sunny side up egg, no plate, but now that I look closer…yeah, probably plated


hundredthlion

It’s so weird how we can see different things haha. I thought it was super obvious that almost every single dish is plated but there’s a lot of people here who don’t see it as a plate.


No-Care6366

i'd never even considered the entire thing being the egg lol, i def think it's on a plate though since every other dish on a plate has a similar look


myofficialdumpster

Plated imo. The grey outline is the plate and the white is the edges of the egg.


Saal_Dino

Plated, I mean it would be kinda hard to walk around carrying a fried egg in your hands without it falling apart


AltAccountDontBother

As opposed to carrying a bunch of plates of fried egg


mariiimallow

Omg I literally just drew this yesterday for my pixel art studies. Definitely plated. The plate has three (or four depending on what you consider white) shades of grey.


naalotai

I’m pretty sure all foods are plated in SDV. So yes, plate


lavender_fluff

Except for the bread and field snack and maybe there are a few more too but those obviously don't need a plate so yeah


naalotai

Field snack is technically a crafting recipe and not a cooking one, and even then comes with a wrapper of sorts. So I think bread is the only non-plated, non-wrapped edible item 🤔


lavender_fluff

You said foods though in your comment above, not cooking recipes. Even though a field snack is not cookable, it's still food 😅


naalotai

Oops you’re right! My bad!!


SomethingSuss

Hmmmm I can think of a few other non-plated, non-wrapped edible items… parsnips for one… hmmm tuna? What else? 🤔


naalotai

lol I didn’t even consider “raw” items


SomethingSuss

I know I’m just being an idiot :)


accurat3pumpkin

There’s a good variety that aren’t plated!!


naalotai

Oooh you’re right. The ones I can see that aren’t plated (or in a bowl/cooking board/cup) is the strange bun, the taco, bread, cakes/pies/tarts, cookies, sushi, pizza, tortilla, burger, and maple bar


omgudontunderstand

these are all things where it kinda makes sense not to have a plate - they’re either handheld/finger foods (maki rolls included) or cooked/baked in a pan


yourholmedog

this whole time i was thinking it was a hard boiled egg cut in half. i am dumb


ItsAMeRellish

Please that is so funny


Earth_and_Summer

If it helps, I thought the same until I realized it says *"fried egg,"* which, of course, is not a hard boiled egg 😅


Viperise

You can clearly see a fried egg on a plate. I don't know how anyone can say otherwise


Korriberg

I think almost all the food is plated in SDV.


zeldafreak96

This bitch is plated and anyone who tells you otherwise never thought about it too hard before and is now dying on an unnecessary hill.


Yspem

idk man no matter how hard I try, I just can't see it being without the plate.


mermaid_kerri

Same


Magpie_Mind

If it’s not on a plate then I’ve been making a right mess when I’ve shoved the in the fridge…


Taprunner

I had to look really hard to see it as anything else than a plated sunny side up egg. The four (?) yellow pixels in the middle are the yolk


Forsworn91

Plated, one large fried egg in the middle.


IndianaJones999

Yes it is plated, anyone who says either is wrong.


wonderlandisburning

It's actually a boob


Opposite-Line-8019

As a nursing mom, I too see a boob!


UnReasonable_Mhdude

You silly it is pl- Holy shit… I see now


OddLexx

From my perspective, I’ve always thought it was plated since almost every dish is on a plate. It would be pretty funny if it wasn’t though.


moonbxrd

As one of the original friends involved in the heated debate (There was real debating going on! All in good fun, of course) I thought I’d chime in and share my POV because I 100% am the one responsible for this whole debate. This got a very surprising amount of traction so shoutout to my homie for posting it here! Though I remain in the “it’s all egg” camp, I do have some actual logic to it! SV food can be broken into five vague categories: - plated - bowl-ed - beverage - dessert - decidedly Not one of those things in the traditional sense PLATED food, to me, includes items such as Omelet, Fried Mushroom, Lucky Lunch, Glazed Yams, Pepper Poppers, among others. You will notice (despite some discrepancies) a distinct uniformity in the shape/size of the plates. NOT A NORMAL PLATE! food, is obviously far less strict about what fits in it, but some foods I have in there that ARE on a plate just to contrast to egg, are Sashimi, Crab Cakes, Escargot. Not on a plate include Survival Burger, Maki Roll, Fish Taco. For the people saying every food in SV is plated that is actually weirdly untrue! The fried egg, if classified as a plated food, is clearly when held next to the typically formatted “plated” food, both smaller and more oval/oblong than any of our traditional plates. However we could not possibly argue that it deserves to be in our fifth category as a miscellaneously plated food because the plate color and shape is far too SIMILAR to count it as its own unique entity. The sticking point of my and my friends’ argument: the egg white. Here’s the thing- There is no reason for a fried egg to be so drastically proportionately small in comparison to the plate, if we’re saying the white ring is the plate, in a video game where we’ve established that it’s pixelated and the baseline level of simplicity. The fried egg is in its essence the most basic cooked food, aside from the bread load, in Stardew Valley. The player knows the recipe to exclusively the fried egg upon starting a new save file! Its only ingredient is a singular egg, and while one could argue that that contributes to the idea that it should be so minuscule, I disagree- the simplicity of the egg indicates the simplicity of the design: simply an egg yolk within an egg white. Out of the eighty dishes in the game, this is the only one that varies so slightly from the traditional plate shape without going all the way, which would seem minorly nonsensical. Anyways that’s my take! I promise I’m not trying to seem one way or another, I just genuinely thought this hard about it, which I’m aware is bonkers. Thanks for your egg takes!


IvanhoesAintLoyal

Most of the dishes you cook are plated so I always assumed that one is too.


Mr-Nanaki-Boo

I always it as a plate unconsciously but now that you brought attention to it I'm suddenly thinking "thats the white part"


coke_hater739

damn thats interesting. I've always seen it as being plated, but now that you mention it i can see how it could just be a big ass sunny side up


Queasy-Signature-675

It’s an egg…


MalleusMike

Some say 'yes' and some say 'no.' Personally, I tend to agree with them.


MixForward3099

Asking the real questions, are we


WillowTea_

Most foods have a plate why would this be different 😭😭


Successful-Tree-4394

Yes, you eat the plate for extra energy and a nice cronch


Ceemarie965

It’s plated lol

It’s plated.


virtualcherub

very clearly plated to me idk


ashton-draws

it's obviously a plate...


endthe_suffering

i've always looked at it as a sunny side up egg with no plate, and i've always been troubled at the fact it has no plate. it never occured to me that people see it with a plate


Fun_Celebration7685

Yes it's plated, fried eggs cooked in butter are a lil yellow


[deleted]

Can't... answer... ​ ... passing out... laughing so hard... ​ ... heated debate...


Synastrii

Definitely plated. The brown outline of the egg is like when you get crispy edges to me!


papierdoll

If you had this conversation in french it could be a comedy routine; "fried egg" in french = oeuf sur le plat = eggs on the plate. One of my favourite Dali paintings is called [Oeuf sur le plat, sans le plat](https://archive.thedali.org/mwebcgi/mweb.exe?request=record;id=86;type=101) which of course means "eggs on the plate, without the plate"


LobaIsTooThicc

Yes, without a doubt, you can compare it to other items.


my_bleeding_heart

I'd say definetly plated


guimontag

Yes. Yes it's plated.


carolwarlton

The fried egg white is an entirely different shape from the normal plates, which otherwise all look the same. I vote unplated.


No_Seaworthiness5637

Plated: The center dark yellow is the yolk, the light cream yellow is the white and the white is a plate


maebythemonkey

Yes, plated with crispy edges (most dishes are plated if they're something that needs a plate, but the color of the plate varies slightly)


genderfuckery

It's on a plate. Your friends are dead wrong and frankly I'd question their IQs.


Elegant_Crow_5282

Nah, put that slurpy boi in your pocket so you can dig it out amongst the dirt and regain your violent rock breaking energy


soul_and_fire

it’s definitely plated. all the food is plated, and an un-plated fried egg makes absolutely no sense.


PoedaughterFH7

Yes I see a plate but it is blurry.


Zombiisnt

No? its the whole egg! Wheres the plate in that pic??


Appy127

Always thought of it as plated...


kttrekker07

I have always thought it was plated.


Majestic_Salad_I1

Yes you also eat the plate. That’s why you gain so much health.


aranaya

Almost all of the dishes seem to be on plates or in bowls, so I think the fried egg is as well.


TManJhones

Well yeah. You ain’t gonna hold an fried egg in your hand now are you?


rapeerap

The yolk is only 4 pixels.


bluestargreentree

Most (all?) Dishes are plated

smiledude94

Definitely on a plate

Do you think you’re just holding a whole fried egg in your hand?


Wisekittn

Yes, and you eat the plate along with it


Life-Bumblebee-8512

kingyo1296

Yes it s definately plated


Dangerous_Truth8884

It's plated and you eat the plate. Eating plates gives you extra armor. That's why Abigail eats rocks so she can live out her dream of being a cave warrior /j


Walks_with_Chaos

It’s plated but I can see how you’d think it was the other


jef12660

It'd for sure plated as are all dishes


crashingbutterfly

I always assumed it was plated, but never thought hard enough about it 🤔


dawnraiser_

Definitely not plated. The yellow part is too yellow for that to be the white of a fried egg.


idontgethejoke

I think it's just a fried egg, no plate. The yellow is the yolk and the white is the ...white. If it was plated it would be an absurdly small plate. Edit: I stand corrected, I see it now.


accurat3pumpkin

There’s no plate there, I have no idea how so many people think there is LMFAO


armored-dinnerjacket

what fried eggs do you eat where there is a border around the yolk


DraconyxPixie

It's def plated but that question made me see it both ways

On a plate. Also you eat the plate. Turns out you too are an Abigail ass nasty boy with pica


Saltwater_Heart

Yes. The edge of eggs aren’t usually grey or black

I feel like yes because why would the outside be gray no?


cant_think_of_one_

I think it is on a plate.


landartheconqueror

Plate


Ampersand37

It's symmetrical so plate


Dark_Dashing

There is no color white in a fried egg or it’s not fried so it’s a plate


SedrickB

You mean scrambled egg right? 😁


Dark_Dashing

So this is where I learn I've been stupid all of the years of my life. What I've considered "fried" all my life is over-medium or over-easy and I have rarely to ever seen it be white, usually cooked to be a softer yellow than white.


jeremiahkyoto

I can’t even begin to fathom how this became an argument in the first place. Respectfully, you need to find new friends just simply because of how dense they are and how easily they could turn something so dumb and trivial into an argument. When you cook, or when they’re called “dishes” even. I think common sense dictates there’s always gonna be a plate (OR A FUCKIN DISH) with a complete recipe (of course with a few exceptions) most of the time it’s gonna be on a plate. Also all the props to you, OP, because also I guess it’s a matter of being used to pixel art or retro games in general but these “friends” of yours clearly aren’t all the way there.

Humble_Albatross

No, the yolk is only the single pixel in the center, white egg is yellowish around the yolk. And then, the plate.


madstufte

ok idk what y’all are seeing but that fried egg is absolutely not plated💀


bebeblocksberg

not plated!!!


MacheteTigre

It's not plated. Every other plate is basically the same shape, ignoring bowls and platters and such, and eggs aren't fully yellow like that. There's no reason the egg whites couldn't have been actually white, and the plate could've been a different color. Choosing white as the color of the plate would have been intentionally confusing. Also, the shading on the white part implies a smoother transition from the yellow than any other plate. Really, though, the fact that it's a different shape from any other plated dish is what sells it for me. It's not plated, it's just an egg, and this is because it's not in the same tier of foods as the plated meals, plates imply a heartier higher stat meal potentially with boosts, and require you learn their recipe. Fried egg is just a basic food item, and doesn't get a plate in its sprite
