How do you say the word "EGG"?

Is it aig?

Or is it ehg?

I say it's aig, but I remember having this argument with a friend in high school - she was sure it was "ehg".
 

aig.......aig salad, aig-plant, fried aigs, etc

just like in Forrest Gump - shrimp cocktail, shrimp salad, fried shrimp...;)
 
There is no "a" in egg, therefore egg is pronounced "ehg" ;)

This is a big pet peeve of my DD's, she absolutely cringes when someone pronounces it with the "a" sound.
 
Can somebody use those sounds in a word for me, cause they both sound close to the same to me. And I can't figure out which one I use to say egg!
