***Egg salad is the same as above but with hard boiled eggs sliced or cut in half. Egg mayonnaise is chopped up egg mixed with mayonnaise or salad cream.

Churchill had it right about our language.***

YUP! He sure did.

I've had English Egg Mayonnaise at an English Tea Shop in California, and as you say, it's chopped up egg with mayo. So, that leads to this question: Do you ever have ham (with fat removed) chopped up and mixed with mayo? On bread or crackers, of course.

Yes you can buy that in a supermarket our German supermarket Lidl sells it in fact they call it meat salad but in normal everyday usage you would not call that a ham salad.

I have never known anyone chop ham up and mix like you said but everyone is different and with people traveling more and seeing different food then I would think some do.

Most people in Britain though love cold ham either that you have cooked yourself or what you buy in the supermarket.

Cold meat and pickles at Christmas is a traditional Boxing Day fare or even supper on Christmas Day. A lot of people prefer this to the hot turkey or beef on Christmas Day.

The one exception is potato salad that is mayo or salad cream with either chives or parsley.
