eggs

sunny side up is fried eggs - with the yolk side facing up (yellow . . hence the sunny part)

poached eggs are boiled - sort of. you like put a cracked open egg like you were going to fry it . . . only into a pot of boiling water.

eggs benedict is an english muffin, i think a piece of ham - but maybe it doesn't require meat . . . a poached egg all covered in hollandaise sauce.

is that sort of what you told him? :)
