The world's best egg mayonnaise sandwich

Do this:

Hard-boil 4 eggs, then allow to cool.

Slice half of the eggs, dice the other half.

Add a great big shredded handful of coriander/cilantro to the bowl you've stuck chopped eggs in.

Drop four heaping tablespoons of mayonnaise in the bowl. Add a few big pinches of turmeric. Give it four shakes of Tabasco sauce and a couple grinds of pepper. Stir up until cilantro/coriander is fully integrated and yellow from turmeric is an even tone. Let it stand for about an hour if you possibly can.

Place on your choice of bread (I used pain Parisienne), d'oh.

This is an even better sandwich if you have some left over to eat the following day.

Mayonnaise is a vomfest. BUT YET WHY DO I LIKE EGG MAYONNAISE?!

Thank you for posting this at lunchtime Suzy I must go out and buy some sammiches OR should it be the jacket potato dear god, the horror of food buying for a fat gurl. I should really eat nothing but yeah like that will happen. Hrmm she types, thinking of the teacake resting in her bag and the fact that she has nearly drunk a pint of orange juice alrady today. I'm gross.

The world's best egg mayo sandwich is made by my mum and eaten hot. Aw.

Tom, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

in this case, pain parisienne = tampon.

katie, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's the jacket potato. Boy am I a sucker for the cheese and beans.

Fatty Yums, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Curses, i never had any of that.

Ed, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pain Parisienne = torture at the Bastille shurely?

Pete, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hot egg mayo = *huge* potential for food poisoning. Though to those guys who consider themselves (that fearless superhero) Abdoman, possible drastic weight loss enabler.

For those of you that want the best sandwich, I forgot the finely diced small spring onion. Now tuck in!

suzy, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Im being dumb I'm sure but why does warm egg mayo have any greater potential for food poisoning than eating a boiled egg hot, say? It's not re-heated, it's just served as quickly from the pan as possible.

Tom, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i are thinking that people who recommend leaving egg mayo till the next day and then telling other that hot egg mayo has potential for food poisoning are pots calling the kettle black, or something.

katie, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Doesn't mayo curdle or produce cultures or go through some other strange sort of metamorphosis when warmed up? Either way, I've heard the same stories, but, then, I eat lukewarm TV dinners and puddin'.

David Raposa, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hot? As in 'warm'? Mayo???

Laetitia, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No no you don't heat the mayo, the egg is hot the mayo is cold, the result is warm. Num num. It's still very nice once the egg has cooled down but it's at its best warm.

Tom, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Darn you, Suzy, now I Wish This. I will have to wait until a later time for it, though.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

IR thinking FatNick gets his mummy to cook for him, as he has never heard of putting the egg mayo in a TUPPERWARE CONTAINER and putting it in the 'fridge where it is OK for two days. But this stuff doesn't last that long.

suzy, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This just sounds yuck.

Samantha, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Samantha makes another late (too late) bid for post of the year.

Nick, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i are thinking that you are getting me confused with fatnick, and wish salmonella on you. OK i made that last bit up. i agree with samantha.

katie, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

egg mayonnaise sandwiches start to smell like poo approximately 3.2 seconds after being completed, hence will never pass my lips.

chris, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Here's what you actually do to get the world's best Egg Mayonaisse sandwich:

i) Go to Simon's Place, on Sth Gt. George's St in Dublin.

ii) Buy an egg mayonnaise sandwiche.

DV, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And you're offering to take us to Dublin, of course.

"Mayonnaise is a vomfest. BUT YET WHY DO I LIKE EGG MAYONNAISE?! "

Heh, yeah. Me too! How 'bout that? CrAzY world.

DavidM, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

no your probably thinking....who is this bloke....but what the hell....im going to say it anyway.

cold egg mayo on hot thick toast is yum

moiz, Tuesday, 27 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I like my egg mayo sarnies quite plain. Roughly mashed egg and Hellman's, granary bread, cress. I would also add that rather than just allowing eggs to cool, I would dunk them straight into icy water. Cooling them fast like this avoids grey ringing around the yolk and general eggy smelliness. I have hot mayo all the time and I'm still alive. Tuna mayonnaise on pasta is scrummy.

Madchen, Tuesday, 27 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, I did change the water to icy, I hate green eggs.

This is just a twist on egg and cress, using coriander instead. Try it, it's NUMMY.
