Just curious.

I was torn between egg and chicken, but I decided that a delicious curried egg salad on whole wheat with some crumbled bacon is something I'd really like to eat right now.
Too bad there's nothing in the fridge. :(
Yeah, a good egg salad sandwich like this is tough to beat.Originally Posted by Athryn
Egg salad is disgusting. Chicken Salad is the way to go, or tuna when there is no chicken for it is the chicken of the sea.
also who ever heard of ham salad?
I chose Egg, though my grandmother used to make a KILLER ham salad.
A salad on the side while I eat a cuban sandwich, you friggin' schoolgirls.
DAYUMMM that sounds eggcellent(see what I did there)!!!
Yeah, Ham Salad...ick.
while we are on the subject of delicious ethnic sandwiches lets not forget about the Muffuletta. I do think cubans are more delicious though but the power of the muffuletta can't be denied.
They served ham salad at my grandfather's funeral reception, atop plain, old white hamburger buns, with Cheez Whiz as the sole condiment.
That's haute cuisine in the Midwest.
Personally, I prefer a lobster roll, and ideally one that's light on the mayo. But I rarely get to have one, because that stuff's expensive!
Tuna . . . melt. Preferably rye and swiss.
Mmmmm.
Er, there's also a real salad sandwich, something like the veggie delight at Subway. I get those from time to time. Those are good.
I voted Egg but nothing is better than a tuna salad made with good, fresh tuna. (Although it might be said that making tuna salad from fresh tuna is a crime of another sort altogether.)
My friend's Mom used to make us this kickass sammich she called a pompeian(phonetically pronounced by her pomp eh yohn). She took fresh romaine lettuce, french bread, fresh thickly cut tomatoe, olive oil, albacore tuna, and a few spices she refused to divulge to us. All that assembled as per usual, but the tuna was broken up a little and kind of sprinkled across the french bread, lightly dusted with the herbs, drizzled with olive oil, and topped with the rest, then salt and peppered lightly. That was one damn fine sammich if I do say so, one of these days I'll find out what those blasted herbs were, I suspect basil, thyme, and maybe paprika.
People who aren't as clueless as you are, ya egg salad-hating freak.
This is now the new Pie VS. Cake thread, DEATH TO THE NON EGG SALAD CREW!!!
A good Egg Salad is refreshing and a delightful summer lunch or snack. My wife and I often have "picnic" lunches at home where we make egg salad sandwiches and cucumber sandwiches and sit outside. Also, cut small, they make delightful tea sandwiches.
But for me, the tuna salad sandwich is Sundays at home with my Dad. Toasted wheat bread, cheese, lettuce, tuna with mayo, mustard, diced olives, pepper; diced onion or celery if it's around, served with a tall ice-cold coke and a pile of potato chips. It's one of the few things he ever makes in the kitchen, and probably the first "prepared" food I ever made for myself. It's also the first and to this day one of the only foods that I make completely by taste and by eye, without a recipe or measuring spoon in sight. Egg salad may be refreshing, but tuna salad is comforting. It's sitting on the couch with my Dad, watching TV, a big comic book in my lap. To me, there's no contest.
QFMFT.
Egg salad is the pie of the salad sammiches. Chicken salad (with sliced grapes) is a good second, though.
A potato salad sandwich is also a viable, if somewhat unconventional, alternative.

There used to be a little counter service place in Pasadena called Dora's Oak Knoll Cafe. It was built around WWII as I recall, and "little" is the key word, as the counter seated only six or seven people. They made the best egg salad sandwiches I'd ever had. Conveniently, they were half a block from a big newsstand/magazine store. It made a nice break from my studies to pick up the latest game magazines, then head over to Dora's for an egg salad. Pakk Mann Arcade was a couple miles down the road, so that was a frequent post-lunch destination.
Too bad all three places are gone now. Damned progress.
Also, potato salad with egg is rather tasty.
Mmmm, tuna salad sandwich with a slice of american melted on top.
This is on the ball, I can't remember where the hell I posted this, but I smoked a chicken, and my better half made the best smoked chicken, diced onion, sliced grape salad with walnuts EVER.
::EDIT::
I think there was garlic involved too.

I think this is the beast of which you speak... Correct?
sounds like a tunamelt to me.I think this is the beast of which you speak... Correct?
Yep, it is. Unless Matthew was talking about a full fledged two slice sammich with additional cheese on the outside, but then that would be some sort of quasi-sammich that Belial would have concocted for the detriment of man's downfall.
It is the Broodwich. The most evil sandwich ever created. Forged in darkness from wheat harvested in hell's half acre. Baked by Beelzebub. Slathered with mayonnaise beaten from the evil eggs of dark chicken force-fed to dogs by the hands of a one eyed mad man. Cheese boiled from the rancid teat of fanged cow. Layered with 666 separate meats from an animal which has maggots for blood.
Seriously, I almost got a piece of cold pizza I was eating lodged in my sinuses because of this, holy christ...

The results so far are suspiciously close...
