Usually, my family would be so drunk they would forget your name and start grumbling obscenities... something about hoping you'll die soon and didn't we already celebrate your day?... what more do you want, egg in your beer?

I still love them, mostly... grumble grumble...

@EDVARDS @dgar Egg in your beer? Is that often an option?

BOTH:

Literal:
Whistler's lead bartender in Chicago:
Egg in your beer?" Mixing beer, an egg and a liquor is called a "flip". Flips date back to as far as the 1690s. Some assume that the liquor kills the salmonella risks.

Metaphorical:
Wikipedia:
"Egg in your beer" refers also to a metaphorical expression implying someone is asking for more than they deserve. The phrase suggests that the listener should be content with what they already have.
