It's been said that I'm intolerant of ignorance. That, instead of just letting things go with a simple "she doesn't know what she's talking about" i have to keep arguing until I'm blue in the face. Well, a rant on the pros and cons of eggs in a potato salad should squash such rumors.

It's great. It's better than great, it DEFINES the potato salad. Now, I like potato salad generally. My grandmother's isn't half bad (as long as I can talk her out of the chunks of celery). But, after having mrs. x's salad at steve's graduation party, i'm "ruined" for all other salads. and it is 100% because of the egg.

Who doesn't like egg salad? It's so juicy and delicious. The ONLY complaint about egg salad is that maybe it's "too much". Too much of what, i'm not sure. But, i can sort of see how it's a little overpowering. So, the mrs. x salad is perfect. Since they both have the same base (mayo) the combo is logical. And the BEST part is that chunks of eggs look like chunks of potato. With a high potato to egg ratio, you have to expect that the chunk on your fork is potato. But is it? Only time will tell. And then, on those rare instances where you bite down and are surprised by a chunk of egg, it's like winning the lottery. She puts the EXACT amount of egg in there. Any more and it would be less exciting to get a chunk. Any less, and it would be so rare that you wouldn't even be looking forward to it.

I don't have much to look foward in life, but those rare instances of getting a chunk of egg is definitely near to the top of that short list.
