The Egg Sandwich
Scotch Egg Sandwich
The Scotch egg sandwich is its cross-section: a boiled egg in sausage and crumb, sliced into a buttered bap so every bite crosses all four rings. Firm yolk for the picnic, soft for the pub.
Egg and Salad Cream
Egg with Heinz Salad Cream instead of mayo; tangier, thinner.
Egg and Chive
The British answer to egg-mayonnaise going dull halfway down: a measured line of snipped chive that keeps the egg bright. Sibling to the egg-and-cress that British Rail once fixed at a twelfth.
Egg and Chips Sandwich
The caff plate of egg and chips, folded into buttered white until the yolk breaks and soaks the potato. Carb on carb, cousin to the chip butty and the army egg banjo, eaten fast while the yolk runs.
Egg and Anchovy
Egg mayonnaise with mashed anchovy or Gentleman's Relish; salty, umami depth to egg sandwich.
