HUNGRY GERALD

HG iis very fond of egg salad. HG ate a lot of it when he was a kid. HG’s Mom thought it was a healthy dish. Today’s nutritionists might disagree. HG’s beloved late Mom mixed the chopped eggs with much chopped onion and fiery black radish, The melange got a large amount of chicken fat and coarse salt. Young HG ate it, with gusto, atop slices of pumpernickel bread and glasses of hot tea, (Bread got a schmaltz smear). When mature, HG accompanied this treat with snifters of brandy. BSK makes very good egg salad–a healthier version flavored with mayonnaise and abundant lemon juice. BSK adds much chopped celery to the egg salad and to burnish the health factor, serves it with spears of crisp endive.(Nostalgic HG does miss the schmaltz).
