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 for $8lb.

eating a what?

OmegaMouse@pawb.social · 10 pts · 323d (2 replies)

One of these

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

OmegaMouse@pawb.social · 5 pts · 323d

That's a good point actually... whenever you see them in any UK supermarket it tends to just be egg mayo by itself (and always on brown bread for some reason). Or egg & cress like you say.

OR you might see an all day breakfast sandwich with egg mayo, sausage and bacon.

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

I'll take yours. What about Tuna Salad?

JigglySackles@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 320d (3 replies)

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 thought for sure it'd be an absolute no for tuna salad haha. We probably all get picky about something. It's odd stuff like this or strong tasting and/or stinky foods or treats don't bother me at all, but I'm picky with vegetables. If any veggie even begins to wilt well before rotting I can't handle eating it.

JigglySackles@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 319d (1 reply)

I can't deal wifh wilty greens either. Lol especially in something like a Ceasar salad. The way it feels really slimey in my mouth and going down just makes me gag. Makes me shudder even thinking about it lol
