Egg in a poke

So, I recently saw some people on the internet discussing the name for this...

And people had some crazy answers,

egg-in-a-basket,

toad in the hole,

egg-in-the-hole,

bird's nest

and a bunch of other names, check it out here.

But not even on the wikipedia site does it list what we all know is it's true name "egg-in-a-poke". And now, because I love linguistics, and because you all humour me, here's why I propose the Files name for it is the correct one.

The word poke is an old word meaning bag or sack, where we get the word "pocket". It was used in the 14th century by Chaucer, and in the 16th by Shakespeare. (They probably used the word when their mom's made it for them for breakfast.)

Therefore, since it is a very old word, and has fallen out of modern parlance, we take the older saying to be original!
