I used to make the same thing too. Eventually the eggs and potatoe ratio switched so its was more like an egg salad with some potatoes and extra dill mixed in. Sometimes I got around to adding cubes of cheese and or some ham. Then a bowl of it didnt have to be a side it could just be lunch.

What I discovered is that what I actually prefer more is to add in even more dill, delete the potatoes all together, and put it on a sandwich of a crispy/chewy type bread with both slabs of ham and a strongly flavored cheese with more dill pickles, spinach, and a layer of way too many onions.

I morphed that cold tuna macaroni salad that most everyone eats too. When I ate noodles I swapped the tuna for twice as much salmon, added surimi, added green onions and celery to the peas and other ingredients. Of course I intentionally added a lot of dill to that too.

Maybe Im really just looking for excuses to eat more dill.

On a vaguely related note, I recently bought some Polish dill pickles. I wound up giving them to the chickens. I cant believe I fell for that. I guess I had forgotten. I lived in Germany and knew full well how disgustingly sweet both their dill pickles and the Polish dill pickles were. I also cant believe that two countries with so many wonderful foods cant differentiate between types of pickles. Im also surprised that after decades of not being able to sell those things to Americans as dill pickles that someone hasnt told them that there is probably a huge market of American sweet pickle eaters that would probably buy loads of them if they would just change the label to “dilled sweet pickles” or something like that.

Im willing to bet that there is a correlation between sweet relish eaters and miracle whip eaters. All they would have to do is find where those two markets intersect and they could sell them as fast as they could make them.

You think that Miracle Whip is disgusting? There is a product I recently encountered that was even worse. I thought it was Kraft Sandwich Spread but visually the product presently sold in Canada as Kraft Sandwich Spread does not appear to be the same thing and the thing Im talking about is most certainly not “Americas Favorite”. The label does appear similar though. Yknow that disgusting cole slaw dressing some make that is really just cups of sugar suspended in Miracle Whip? It was something like that but it was slightly pink and had maybe two particles of pimento and sweet relish per jar. One of my clients had bought some and gagged when trying it. I thought they were likely over reacting and tried it myself. The jar went straight into the trash. I would think this product of which I speak almost has to be a gag that you plant in unwitting peoples cupboards. Im betting its batches of Miracle Whip that have some kind of mistake in the production so they repackage it and donate it to food missions as a write off or something like that. I cant believe anyone other than Ethiopians at deaths door would consider voluntarily eating it.
