Okay. They’re the same thing. Boiled egg, chopped and mixed with mayo, mustard and whatever else you fancy. Put it between two slices of white bread, and you have the perfect sandwich.
But some reason, in the UK, people insist on pairing it with watercress. And all that does is overpower the taste of the egg salad and get soggy – a perfect combination of bad taste and bad texture.
Today I had the perfect egg salad, between two slices of basic white bread, after a round of golf on a perfect sunny day. I did not have watercress.
