What is the difference between fried and sunny side up?

[Imp]

I don't get "fried" to begin with...

I love sunny side up, but fear that salmonella shit. Bastard - had to be so delicious...

The odds of a healthy adult getting sick from raw eggs is extremely low. Eating raw fruit or vegetables is more dangerous. Unless you eat a lot of eggs every day for the rest of your life you're probably never going to have a problem

fried means nothing in this comparison.

Fried is like, opposite of boiled or something. And then, sunny side up is when you put a smile on while you cook it.

fried means sunny side up in some parts of the country and flipped over and cooked more than "over easy" in other parts of the country.

Sunny side up means an unbroken yoke. Fried means the egg will be flipped over to make sure the yolk is cooked properly.

Incorrect.

Sunny side up means just that. The egg is cooked without flipping.

There is over easy which is flipped and cooked very little, these will have a runny yoke and some undercooked whites.

Over medium would be flipped and cooked until the whites are hard but the yoke is still runny.

And over hard would be flipped and whites and yoke cooked until hard.

I like my eggs cooked over medium.
