Curried Eggs Sandwich

I first got to taste this comforting sandwich when I lived in Sydney.  Many traditional cafes served this tasty sandwich.  After Stan would finish his doctor’s visit, we would have a snack in the sidewalk cafe and he told me that I might like this sandwich.  Not only did I like it, it became a comfort food for me. 

It’s something you can make and place inside a container in the refrigerator and take out to either make as a sandwich or just eat straight as if it was a salad.  I read somewhere that it’s a very English sandwich filling.

Now, during this time of the Corona Virus (COVID-19), and we are thinking of what to feed ourselves and our families, here is something we can easily make.

Make hard boiled eggs.
Cool eggs in an ice bath to stop the cooking process and peel.
Slice eggs into 1/8-inch square pieces or use a nifty egg slicer like what I’ve done. Transfer to a bowl or a storage container.
Sprinkle salt, pepper, and curry powder all over the sliced eggs. Mix carefully; then add pickle relish if you wish. Continue to mix lightly.
Add the mayonnaise and gently mix into the eggs. Adjust seasoning to taste.
