An eggy smell is horrible if it comes unexpectedly, but arguably pleasant if you're eating an egg mayo sandwich

    I’m guessing you mean the sulfur smell, that’s never wanted.

      Unless you’re specifically looking for sulfur pools in which case it means you’re near :)

    Cheese too. If the smell is on its own, its like dirty socks, but if it’s a dairy product it goes $8lb.

      In the UK at least, the filling is called egg mayonnaise. In the US/Canada it seems to be called egg salad

        Tbf there being lettuce in there is somewhat unconventional in the UK

        If there’s any greenery it’s often cress

        Though that’s now an egg & cress rather than an egg mayo

      The taste, and/or something about the other senses experience/mouth feel?

      I’ll take yours. What about Tuna Salad?

        Everything about it really. The texture, the weird spot between firm and soft, the way it’s scent pervades my sinuses and coats my tongue where I can’t get it off. Not a big fan of egg, especially strong egg flavors or runny egg. Don’t care for mayo either. So mixing them together is just a match made in hell for me.

        Tuna salad is really spotty for me too. Mostly comes down to whether there is anything besides the tuna and mayo, how much mayo, and whether it was seasoned. Really like tuna on the whole though. Also if making a sandwich with it, it’s gotta be toasted. Lol I’m not super picky normally, but this is one of my few areas where I come across as a bit of a child.

    I prefer a smoked roe spread in my egg sandwiches. Gives them a tasty saltyness that matches very well with the eggs. Not sure what mayonnaise would add flavour wise. Wouldn’t it be mostly egg with egg?
