Egg sandwiches

Ok, so inspired my another thread but... on the sandwich fillings for party thread no one has mentioned egg! Surely egg sandwiches are the best bit of a party tea? I'm now fearing they will die out and become extinct. So the question, would you eat an egg sandwich? And would your children eat an egg sandwich?

Half mayo /half salad cream lots of salt, real butter and egg chopped really small on sost white bread
Food of the God's

They are marmite aren't they!

I always make them for family buffets - the half that love them chase after the half that don't, proffering one, exulting their virtues.

Anothernamechangeplease · 21/06/2022 18:19

Yes, they are delicious!!

Dd1 would eat bacon and egg sandwich but not egg alone

Dd2 used to but not sure now she has lived away for 2 years

Ds would

Dd3 no

Me and dh yes

I like egg sandwiches but they are far from my favourite

Anothernamechangeplease · 21/06/2022 18:20

And yes, dd loves them too!

Datsandcogs · 21/06/2022 18:20

No I wouldn’t because DD1 would beat me to it. She loves them. I don’t!!

NoWordForFluffy · 21/06/2022 18:21

No and no! I like eggs, but not the texture of egg mayo. The kids don't like eggs (though they used to during weaning! 🙄).

I would not. Egg mayo sandwiches are disgusting.

I'd eat a fried egg sandwich though.

Snap! I had a runny fried egg sandwich on white bloomer for breakfast but I couldn't face egg and cress.

GrowThroughWhatYouGoThrough · 21/06/2022 18:22

I like an egg Mayo sandwich but much prefer a fried egg sandwich 🤣

MrsMoastyToasty · 21/06/2022 18:23

Tomato and egg sandwiches (made with salad cream rather than mayo) are one of my favourites.

SandrasAnnoyingFriend · 21/06/2022 18:24

Love them
The M&S Egg, Salad Cream and Tomato is the best shop bought sandwich available. It's bizarrely addictive.

ChagSameachDoreen · 21/06/2022 18:24

An egg and cress butty on brown bread, or egg mayo on white. Food of the gods!

ClinkeyMonkey · 21/06/2022 18:24

Even more stinky than egg mayo, is egg and onion. Very popular here in NI. One of my favourites. I reckon there's a good reason why they're mostly reserved for outdoor picnics🤣

dudsville · 21/06/2022 18:27

Egg mayo, delicious lunch.

Fried runny egg with ketchup, hangover cure.

chocolateorangeinhaler · 21/06/2022 18:35

I absolutely hate shop egg sandwiches as I think they all smell awful but love home made ones.

OhTheLeetleHandsAndFeetle · 21/06/2022 18:40

A little egg sandwich made on the softest white bread would do me nicely right about now.

miltonj · 21/06/2022 18:43

I love them if they're fresh and made at home, or at an afternoon tea type place. But there is no way on earth I would put one in a pack lunch box to get warm for half the day. And I deffo wouldn't be buying a pre packaged one from the supermarket.

thefemaleJoshLyman · 21/06/2022 18:43

I love an egg sandwich. Salad cream. But absolutely no cress or rocket or any other green accompaniment. My sandwich of choice. I love eggs in general (except scrambled which I can take or leave).

MissPoldark · 21/06/2022 18:44

No decent party tea would be missing a platter of egg mayo sandwiches!

Fresh white bread
made with salad cream not mayo
and they’ve got to be cut into triangles!

Wonnle · 21/06/2022 18:44

I'm surprised no one has mentioned egg and onion sarines

LeniGray · 21/06/2022 18:45

Yup, I have an egg butty regularly, usually with salad cream, although I don’t mind mayo. Growing up we had them for tea on a Sunday, before the ‘right, now a bath and get ready for school tomorrow!’ routine. Watercress can sod right off though.

FarmCat31 · 21/06/2022 18:50

Egg and salad cream with either cress, tomato or ham and I’m in.
Or a runny fried egg roll.

Which one to have tomorrow?

It's really good, especially once it's warmed up a bit.

MintyGreenDreams · 21/06/2022 18:54

Cold sliced hardboiled egg with a shit ton of salt 😋
