Egg mayo sandwich argument

[user1483644229]

First world argument...is it ever acceptable to have an egg mayo sandwich made with scrambled egg (plain egg nothing added except for the mayo) or should it be boiled egg? Yes seriously we are debating this....

Boiled only!

Boiled egg mushed up with salad cream or mayo.

That is disgusting. He scrambled eggs then mixed them with mayo and shoved it in a sandwich? Has he never eaten an egg mayo sandwich before, could he not tell the eggs were not scrambled?

@WorldWideWanderer If you shake the eggs hard enough (Well I saw them being swung around in a clean sock) before boiling, the yolk will break and mix with the white, so you'll have a yellow boiled egg.

Boiled and salad cream.

I have to say egg sandwich with scrambled egg sounds completely revolting!!

Coffeetasteslikeshit "Boiled. Salad cream. Gavel."

I can't agree with that. You'd break your teeth on the gavel.

Scrambled is only permissible if served hot, on toast. Possibly with cheese but definitely not with mayo. Eggs must be hard boiled for anything called a egg mayo sandwich, or anything served cold.

Egg, mayo and cress. White bread cut from a bloomer. Delicious.

@BeautyQueenFromMars mayo is disgusting... it makes the sandwich heavy. It’s why I hate prepackaged sandwiches... they’re drowned on mayonnaise

How can it be an egg MAYO sandwich if you use salad cream?!

Boiled egg, mayo, dash of malt vinegar, salt, white pepper. On white bread with plenty of proper butter. Preferably eaten whilst still warm. So there!

Also thanks for making me crave egg mayo sandwiches. Bloody impressionable pregnant appetite!

Boiled egg, S&P, mayonnaise, tiny bit of English mustard.

Boiled definitely.

"Boiled egg grated"
recklessgran how hard boiled do your eggs have to be to grate them?!

If you shake the eggs hard enough (Well I saw them being swung around in a clean sock) before boiling, the yolk will break and mix with the white, so you'll have a yellow boiled egg.

I am so going to try that. OH takes Egg salad cream with chives to work so going to give his eggs a shake

If you use salad cream it isn't egg MAYO, surely?

Definitely boiled, who does scrambled egg sandwich? Just plain wrong.
Dollop of good mayo, salt, back pepper and a pinch of Colmans mustard powder. On whole grain bread of course, butter not essential with enough mayo. Cress or avocado if available.

Thanks all for your thoughts. It is each to their own on these things and some healthy debate here. I think this has helped me out as he thought I was weird for thinking he was weird...but he sees now 🙂 We have chuckled over some of these responses!

@chipscheeseandcurrysauce I feel the same way about salad cream!
The trick to making the perfect egg mayo filling is to use just enough mayonnaise to bind the egg together. No butter or spread or mayo on the bread either, just the bread and the filling, with salt to taste.

Boiled eggs mixed with a spoonful of butter while still warm, then salt, very fine chopped onion and a good dollop of SALAD CREAM on fresh white bread 👌

Chopped Boiled egg with mayo with the addition of finely chopped raw onion and tomato and grated cheese....the best sandwich ever!

I would say boiled, however scrambled egg and tattie scones on a Scottish roll with salt and brown sauce is the food of the gods.

I have just had a tesco egg mayo sandwich

It is bread , 'buttered ' with egg mayo rather than butter and with sloced eggs in the middle

Egg mayo...nope!
Egg and salad cream sandwich is the way to go!
And boiled egg only!

I sometimes just microwave the egg until cooked. Then cool it and add mayo. Simple egg mayo sandwich.

You're welcome.
