The egg salad sandwich: a fallen legend?

That shit is for white people from Connecticut

I hate that shit.

In kindergarten, someone made them and gave them to us. It was slimy and I almost puked.

Also I find that I really like egg salad when its made with just barely enough mayo to count as a compound salad and plenty of dill. Peppery greens like arugula or watercress are nice with it too.

>>7925607
Definitely. You don't have to buy overpriced deli meat to enjoy a sandwich.

>>7925607
I prefer tuna or chicken because it goes with brunoised celery better. Heavy with black pepper and red pepper, and a tiny amount of buttermilk as well. I also like bacon with chicken and andouille with tuna if I'm going all out

Calm down, Faggot.

Never had egg salad before. Is there a good way to make it without mayo?

>>7925612
>Slimy
That is a mark of a bad Egg Salad. Did they also forget salt?

>>7925749
>Is there a good way to make it without mayo?

No. What do you have against mayo, anyway?

>>7925749
Use sour cream instead.

>>7925756
Mayo is gross.

LOVE egg salad. But I also love mayo.

>>7925759
It's made of eggs.

You want to eat an egg salad sandwich.

I can't seem to make egg salad for shit

Every time i cut the egg the yolk keeps falling out of the whites and turn into a crumbly mess

how do I keep the yolks inside the egg whites?

>>7925804
Leave the eggs whole.

>>7925804
get a sharper knife

>>7925610
LOL IKR! Do they even know what salt is?

>>7925607
Prefer a good tuna salad myself but egg salad with scallions is pretty darn tasty.

anyone tried it with peanut butter?

extra protein and is good

>>7925804
Use a potato masher to mash the eggs. You get uniform chunks that way.

>>7925959
I've tried this, flavor doesn't add much for me and honestly the peanut butter texture with egg salad throws me off.

Different strokes I suppose.

I love it when they ruin a perfectly good egg salad sandwich by mixing chopped pickles into the egg salad.

>>7925613
>it's good breakfast
agreed. ice cold salad on nice bread, toast, or even a Rykrisp cracker.
>>7925804
>Every time i cut the egg the yolk keeps falling out of the whites and turn into a crumbly mess
I drop the yolks into a separate bowl, chop the whites in the size I want. Add any green onion or celery if I want that. To the small yolks bowl, I mash them with a fork, add the right amount of mayo, salt, pepper, and combine. I add the mayo-thinned yolks back to the whites to combine. Sometimes I do a bit of tarragon, or dill. Sometimes I add a lot of green and black olives, pickle juice, parsley. Sometimes I add mango chutney and curry powder. Sometimes cream cheese. Sometimes dill or dill pickles. Bread and butter is a rare mood but also viable.
Gotta say, nothing wrong with a basic plain egg salad.
>>7925962
Potato masher works, and pastry cutter.

Stir gently. Perfect.

>>7925804
A little bit is supposed to crumble into the sauce. Makes it extra rich and creamy. Some still stays intact if you're gentle.

I obviously think that egg salad should be treated as any other sandwich filling and have veggies and stuff to go along with it.

There would also be lettuice and maybe some salami in this sandwich if i had it, but what i got is tomato and cheese. I like egg salad on wheat bread.

This is the way it is supposed to be. No onions, no celery. Save that garbage for potato salad.

Is a classic egg sandwich better the English way with, dare I say, Heinz Salad Cream instead of continental so-called "mayonnaise"?

>>7930975
Cheddar is fucking great on egg salad. Shredded cheese is sometimes cheaper at the grocery overstock place.

But mostimportantly, cheddar is good on egg salad and I stand by that.

>>7930975
I've tried it with shredded marble cheese. It's actually pretty decent.

>>7926148
Honestly one of the only unitaskers I'll keep around. It's just too useful not to.

the best way is to leave it in the pot and water it every couple of days. Some sunshine also helps. Harvest only what you need at the moment you need it for perfect freshness

Egg salad is disgusting if you eat too much and it tastes worst the next day after refrigeration.

I feel like Tuna salad tastes better and lasts longer in the fridge.

>>7933901
>stop eating things that taste good

While it's nice to see the challenged attempt to show an interest in preparing food, I suggest you stop.

sandwich smell bad

There's a deli nearby that makes egg salad sammiches w/ mayo, green onion and sliced tomato that costs $5, and an avocado sandwich with a sliced egg, mayo, green onion and sliced tomato that costs $8

Avocado topping is 75c and when you add it to the egg salad sandwich you get it identical to the avocado sandwich but for over $2 cheaper

>>7933902

The very best is tuna salad sandwich with freshly boiled eggs sliced and layered onto the sandwich.

By what standard? Literally any preparation or ingredient you use in the kitchen is a crutch in the sense that you rely on it to make your food enjoyable. The only exception is meat and vegetables cooked in the most basic way (over an open fire) until edible.

Take a tin of sardines, flake it with green onions, mayo, mustard, garlic, whatever you normally put in tuna salad, done.

I think that what has killed the classic egg salad sandwich off in the modern world is the ban on smoking in many workplaces.

Back in the 1950s when every office and factory was thick with a fog of cigarette and pipe smoke, the eggy tang of the egg salad sandwich maturing in a colleague's lunch box was imperceptible.

Now that most places of work are smoke-free, the angular honk of macerated egg rings out as clearly as an atlantic fog horn, aggressively invading the olfactory space of any person unlucky enough to be compelled to share an office space with their egg salad toting colleague.

By dint of this unforseen (and for many, deeply regrettable) consequence of the western world's demonizing of our tobacco industry, the egg salad sandwich has become all but a memory on the nation's palate.

Nobody claimed you did. The point was that "Salad Cream" is a British product, not an American one.

Seconded. If an English gourmand wants tangy, he reaches for his jar of sandwich spread.
