  • "Golden Rule" or not - man's got a point, you can't deny it......

    Doesn't give an excuse for being rude though. Takes a smarter person to ask in my eyes. Things are only "obvious" when you know how ;)
    hah hah zippy!! you tell him :D

    yeah, caught me in a bad moment.:rotfl:One of my infrequent grumps.
    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:

  • My top tip for egg mayo sandwiches is to make each sandwich with a single slice of bread folded in half rather than having a top and a bottom and cutting in half. That way the back of the sandwich is sealed and prevents the eggy mix squeezing out the back when you bit into it.
    Also using soy sauce instead of salt is delicious (but makes them a funny coulour).
    I always have tomato in it as tomato and eggs go really well and cucumber for crunch but a touch of spring or finely chopped regular onion is fab.
    The other alternative is egg salad which has to be made with salad cream in my book, again, tomato, cucumber and fold in half.
    Have some left over egg mayo from yesterday so off to make some now!

    I'm assuming the OP has made his sandwich now so I've added this thread to the main egg mayonaise thread to keep the suggestions together.

    Hello, can you help me with an easy way to make egg mayo sandwiches? I don't want to make the mayo but I am guessing there is a bit more to it than boiled egg and mayo? Sorry I sound a bit clueless, I haven't eaten egg's in years and I am just getting back into them!

    Er, nope. Unless you add pepper, that's all there is.

    I hard boil my eggs, then while still hot, mash them up and add a bit of butter. Salt and pepper, then mayo. That's it! I think it's better to let the eggs go cold before you mix in the mayo. If you like egg and crees, buy a pack of cress seeds and grow them on the windowsill to add. Very strong when you grow them yourself.

  • Well, apart from chopped boiled eggs and some good quality mayo one variation I find tasty is some very finely chopped onion and/or celery added to it. It gives a really lovely flavour and a good, crunchy texture.

    Oh, and the easiest way to chop the eggs is with a potato masher ;)
