Eggs Too White

Is this a Ukrainian thing? Not the white supremacy but mayonnaise on boiled eggs? I had that for lunch at the office yesterday and it was nirvana. Does anybody else do that, or is it a cultural thing?

I also used to do mayonnaise on boiled potatoes but now potatoes are infrequent. I also like mayonnaise on salami. And on cheese.

OK, I’ll stop now.

  1. I’ve only encountered that in the form of deviled eggs.

    When your home culture is declared evil, and you’re also forbidden to appropriate anybody else’s, it’s long past time to ignore people who want to police your preferences.

      1. For sure. I never thought of deviled eggs, hashbrowns, and punctuality as an ethnic identity thing, but now you point it out…

        Castles existed because there were attackers.

        Now that we’ve established that groups with solid group identities and loyalties are a predation threat to groups that haven’t had to think about that for a long time, we will almost certainly start seeing cultural defensive structures. Would be nice if those could happen along religious lines rather than race/ethnic lines, but… I don’t get to make the rules. We’ll see.

  2. ” mayonnaise on boiled eggs?”

    Very popular in Poland too. Years ago I was at a recreational event that some brought their own food to (mostly sandwich type things). One guy brought the eggs and a jar of mayonaise and assembled them on the spot. I admired the dedication.

    ” mayonnaise on boiled potatoes “

    My breakfast today was leftover smashed potatoes with… too much…. mayonaise added. Delish!

    If we’re getting into embarrassing confessions… I sometimes like plain cold sausage dipped in mayonaise…. and sometimes would have mayonaise on (cooled) spaghetti….

    I feel very vulnerable right now….
