I thought eggs in tuna salad was the way it is supposed to work! That is the way I have always made it.

You need to charge more for your eggs. They've got extra protein.

The best tuna salad is tuna, mayo, sweet relish, boiled egg, and finely chopped onion

Sometimes we put a small bit of mustard in too. NEVER had a beetle in it though

I hate to sound repetitive, but are you SURE??? Young hens especially will sometimes lay eggs with dark flecks in them, they're not red, they're dark colored and you might say they look like a bug. But they're not. It's just wild cells or something, I can't remember what causes it. Maybe the bug was in the tuna, if it for sure was a bug?

You know, I was really regretting reading this thread, until I got to this post and now I really, really want a tuna sandwich made this way! Even with the bug story!

Gosh people, everyone knows the bug doesn't go in the Tuna Salad, it's a garnish.

Eggs in tuna??????? That sounds so yucky to me! LoL! I'd rather eat bugs in eggs. Fish smell combined with the sulfur smell of boiled eggs, gack!

BUT, I think it's fantastic that you found a beetle in the egg! That is a story to pass on to the grandkids someday.

How in the world do you get your eggs smelling like sulfur? XD and believe it or not this is indeeed delicious. Plus tuna? Fishy? I always found it to have a chickeny smell? but I looove my tuna salad with the boiled egg and crunched up Onions from frenchs(the kind you put on a green bean casserole), lil mayo, bit of mustard <3 omnomnom I want some in a sammich now

As for bugs in eggs it DOES happen according to one of the many books I read(cannot remember which one sorry :<) - just extreeeemely rare - pretty much just your hen sitting just perfect on something at just the perfect time - in this case dumb bug crawled up her and lived long enough to reach her not quite a finished egg - egg. You can also sometimes get lil pebbles/sand in your egg the same way. So congratulations! You got struck by lightning. Now it should never ever ever happen for you again - ever. XD
