- Oysters must be eaten steamed, with melted butter.
- Iced tea is to be served unsweetened (slighty fruit flavored or just a hint of sugar is acceptable--soda levels of sugar are not), and never with lemon. With lime, however, is delicious.

Egg salad is a simple pleasure and does not deserve or call for whole-wheat or any other funky kind of bread.
Plus certainly not toasting as it causes the egg salad to squirt out the sides of the sandwich as one greedily chomps into the sandwich.
And, as I've previously stated here, I like my eggs to remain in place however I decide to eat them.

Optional: a bit of mashed avocado on the bread.(inside of the sandwich). ^
And I read your post to Mrs. Cholula and she agrees with you 100%
Toast and sweet pickles.

One of my acquaintances likes to eat avocado spread on toast in the morning with sugar sprinkled on top. I consider this to be very, very wrong.

28. The only "vegetable" that should be in bread is wheat, rye, corn, oats, etc. Zucchini and carrots, with regard to bread (or certainly cake!
) should be treated in the same way as the marshmallows and graham crackers are treated with S'Mores (except that it is much harder to get a zucchini to flame satisfactorily while shoved into a campfire on a stick).
