Do You Like Egg Salad?

I love it. Hellman’s mayonnaise and a tiny bit of salt and pepper. That’s it.

Sometimes curry.

I especially like egg salad when I have good bread. Sometimes it’s hard to find really good bread.

I also sometimes like the add-ins. Pickles or a nice spice.

especially at/near a greyhound station, on a hot day, in the middle of nowhere with no signs of fowl anywhere. sushi, too, in the dessert

Did someone say," Egg salad."

Yeah, I like it. I accidentally overcooked some boiled eggs and made egg salad with sweet pickle relish (and mayo). Really good.

Love, Love, Love it! Hellman's and a little celery.

Right up until I take a bite with a bit of eggshell. Then it's all over.

Murdered embryo tossed with oil and more murdered embryo!

Yes, I love it and I made a batch last night. Gotta be Hellman's and a little salt and pepper, as someone up thread said. On lightly toasted wheat bread, and white bread is good too.

Love it. With mayonnaise (Hellman's), celery, salt and pepper on Costco cranberry, walnut bread lightly toasted.

The last time I ate egg salad, I had diarrhea that was almost 20 years ago.

Just some bad egg salad

What does Greg think of egg salad?

We MUST know!

I liked it as a kid, and don't dislike it now, but I never ever crave it and haven't had it in 20 years. It certainly looks gross, but it always did.

Let’s have a thread about foods we have never, ever, eaten and never, ever, will.

R10 20 years of bowel issues, including chronic diarrhea for eating one egg salad sandwich? Good lord, what did they do to that egg!

Egg salad causes ongoing flatulence. Bad smelling flatulence too.

R10 ate egg salad made from his mother's eggs.

I like it the way R5 does it. That's how I was taught to make it.

[quote] What does Greg think of egg salad?

I like egg salad.

Either on lightly toasted bread or as a tea sandwich on very thin Pepperidge Farm Bread.

Friday in Lent staple.

Do you people not add a touch of mustard to your egg salad? How gauche!

You don't put a LOT, just a tiny bit. If you can blatantly taste it you've put in too much. But just a tiny bit helps deepen the flavors and makes it so much better than just mayo, salt, and pepper. (Fresh ground black pepper is a MUST).

I’m ambivalent on egg salad, but was a quick convert to fried egg salad. It sounded insane, especially using scissors to chop up the fried eggs. But if this much deliciousness is madness, so be it.

The idea of it is disgusting, but it's delicious.

Yes I do; very much so. I like it made with a bit of curry powder, black pepper, diced onions and olive oil mayo; crackers, if I’m just snacking or on a Kaiser roll with lettuce and tomatoes.

I like sperm salad.

I like egg salad with Kewpie Mayonnaise.

I love egg salad but not with pickle relish. It seems to be a Southern thing.

[quote]Do you people not add a touch of mustard to your egg salad?

I usually add a little bit of curry and a squeeze of lemon. Plus diced onion. Just had one for lunch. Delicious.

[quote] Love, Love, Love it! Hellman's and a little celery.

Good heavens!! Duke's is the only mayo to use.

I love Once Upon a Chef. Upgraded recipes for a home cook. Originally assumed it was a frau who thinks she can cook but the author is professionally trained.

If you're gonna fry the egg, just make a fried egg sandwich. I don't like mayo that much, but it's good in a fried egg sandwich.

Soft white bread, not toasted or toasted lightly. Egg is over easy with a cracked yolk.

Mayo with egg is gross.

I love to make it, but since as a vegan I don't touch eggs (yucky) I make it with red lentils and harissa. Also, I cannot handle gluten, which is toxic, so I use garbanzo paste for the bread, seasoned with a little organic asafoetida.

Mayonnaise sauce with egg is a natural, luscious fit, despite the existence of boorish tastes in the world.

Yeah, like who can afford eggs? Easter is going to be pretty lean in the egg department this year

Sorry R33 but that sounds good!

I use tofu for my “egg salad.”

R35 is posting from 1934, forgetting that her older sister who lives down by the feed lots keeps chickens and brings her four every three days.

When it's largely crumbled, mashed yolks it is simply despicable.

R32, I'm with you. Just a nasty combo!

I love egg salad!

R21 I agree. I use it.

No, too gooey and not enough texture.

I like egg salad but I'm always reminded of that scene in "The Heartbreak Kid" where the newlyweds Lila (Jeannie Berlin) and Lenny (Charles Grodin) are out having a bite to eat. He orders a burger; she orders a "double egg salad" sandwich. She really likes egg salad. She starts tucking into the sandwich and in the process gets it all over her face. Lenny watches in stunned disgust. It's a gross, funny scene.

I love egg salad, and i make a mean one. My sister always asks me to bring me egg salad to her parties.

Duke's Mayonnaise, dash of fish sauce, chopped onions and celery

[quote]dash of fish sauce

This does not belong in an egg sald

I put both mustard and a splash of red wine vinegar in my egg salad.

I don't want to like it but I like it.

On toasted good white bread, with paper-thin sliced purple onion, finely shredded lettuce, and some added black pepper and you have an egg salad sandwich that will set things straight.

R46. Try it

Egg Salad with Blue Plate Mayonnaise, finely chopped Vidalia onions, celery, pinch of salt/pepper, piled on top of a bed of lettuce and tomato, with Melba Toast on the side. That's what I recall my grandmother and her Friends having while they played Bridge when I was about 5yo...

I make egg salad with ground mustard, finely chopped dill pickes, sliced green olives and a touch of miracle whip. yes, I know. but I am traumatized by mayo. I also don't do gloopy so it's just a touch. On rye bread or toasted multigrain.

... MIRACLE WHIP?!?

AUGH!!!!

BEGONE FOUL DEMON!

R7. If your eggs have embryos, you better have a talk with your egg supplier.

I eat it very infrequently. I like it, but I don’t make it at home. One thing I realized I’ve never had is chicken salad.

chicken salad with celery and walnuts = divine

or just with lettuce and tomatoes

[quote]Murdered embryo

The eggs we eat are not fertilized.

R55, people who put walnuts in chicken salad should be shot. WTF is wrong with you people?

No nuts in chicken salad. No fucking GRAPES either, while we're at it. And goddammit, no RAISINS.

Some people just can't be trusted with food.

This entire thread makes me want to puke.

Egg salad makes me fart.

I love a but of onion, celery and curry in my chicken salad. Gives it a bit of Indian pizzazz!

Egg and Olive Salad on soft white bread. So good.

I think I ate one once while trapped on an airplane. I'd rather have a normal sandwich. Even PB&J honestly.

I cannot stand grapes or raisins in chicken salad.

The most disgusting thing i can think of is raisin-carrot salad.

No, I do not.

I like to make my egg salad with Japanese 7-spice- shichimi togarashi, some very finely chopped white or brown onion, and a hint of yellow mustard, Best Foods or Kewpie mayo if I have it.

Delicious. Serve on Hawaiian bread.

My neighbor made tuna sandwiches w/hard boiled eggs and dill pickles (not too much of either). Really good!

Egg salad is wonderful, especially with Duke's mayonnaise and finely chopped green olives. My preference is pumpernickel bread but these days I go with a low carb soft tortilla and lettuce wrap.

I Love Egg Salad(sourdough bread, slices of cheese, toasted bread)

Now I'm hungry!!

Egg salad made with pickled eggs is lovely. Just a bit of pickled onion, celery and Dukes. Lovely!

That chunky egg salad looks nasty. Egg, little bit of Dukes, mustard, salt, pepper. Crispy bacon if I have any. That's it. Don't come at me with your relish bs.

What kind of fucking MONSTER ruins egg salad by putting fucking GREEN OLIVES in it? Jesus Christ, I've never heard anything so goddamned disgusting.

Olives overpower other tastes, eggs are so mild tasted that an egg salad with olives will end up tasting like mayo & olives

While we are here, shall we discuss mayonnaise? I love Dukes. Does anyone else disagree?

I knew this would devolve into Frau-Adjacent DLers debating their egg salad recipes and declaring certain combinations (e.g. their own) to be an indication of higher social class.

Go buy a colander, R75

r67 I can understand mayonnaise with tuna sandwiches but mayo with eggs is not delicious.

R77, there are eggs *in* mayo.

How do you make egg salad without mayo, r77?

There was a time when I liked it, although I only occasionally partook. But for the past year and a half, I've developed an intolerance for eggs.

I bet you won't stand for them either, PD / R80 !

No, I'm not fussy or unpleasant about it, R81. But unhappy recent experience has taught me to be careful about what I eat. My digestion just won't handle eggs anymore.

R82 What happens when you eat eggs?

R83, intense gastric pain and sulfur gas belching, sometimes diarrhea. The pain can last anywhere from a day to several, which is far too long to pay for a dietary mistake.

Only if somebody else makes it.

R75 You know you love it. It's why we all keep showing up at the Datalounge.

Does anyone here add capers to their egg salad? I hear that's very high class.

Capers sort of seem like pickle turds to me.

What are capers anyway, and why do people keep telling me to put them in things like pasta sauce?

I like capers and have put them in tuna salad, but egg salad seems to be a bridge too far for me.

I love a good double egg salad on toast!

I love a caper. Briney, pickled little nubbins.

I would love to try Japanese egg salad. It's supposed to be really good because the bread is delicious.

I cut sulfer farts after eating eggs. Stinky.

R84 - This is random internet medical advice, but maybe get your gallbladder checked? I had a family member who had the same thing and it was gallstones.

Love egg salad. Bit of mayo, mustard, diced pickles. But I dont bring it in to work. Being in a confined space with the farty smell is a bit much.

What is the Japanese egg salad, exactly? Bukkake flavoured?

Of the three -- egg, tuna, and ham --I prefer a good ham salad.

^^ we are so glad to know this.

🤗 Mmm, eggs and beer, I can generate enough natural gas to light the Eastern Seaboard

Thanks to DL, I just made an egg salad sandwich on nice soft whole wheat bread instead of being a Fat Lazy Whore and ordering off Uber Eats.

r84 Same here, I wonder if that's a disease.

I made it today, again differently: Heaping TBSP mayo, same Heaping TBSP Maille Dijon Mustard. 1/3 c. finely chopped onion, 5 eggs, black pepper -- chop hardboiled and cooled eggs in about 1/2" pieces; mix well. Serve on white Artesano bread, toasted on one side.

Delish, got a favorable reaction from family.

Mix the yolk with the mayonnaise and vinegar to make a remoulade, then mix that with the chopped egg whites, celery, what have you.
