Main Course Food Precinct, University of Queensland, St Lucia

On Tuesday I was in a sandwhich type mood when my break from work rolled round.  Owing to my work pattern that day, I could not go to Physiol Eatery & Cafe which serves the ham and cheese sandwhiches that I like.  So I took a gamble on Main Course Food Precinct's selection of sandwhiches.  The only one that held any appeal to me was the egg and lettuce sandwhich.  I had slight reservations as it appeared not to have any mayonnaise, or indeed any type of condiment, but I was determined to have a sandwhich, so I bought it.  I also picked up a hash brown.  I know that hash browns and sandwhiches do not necessarily compliment each other, but such was my hunger that I knew a sandwhich by itself would not be enough.  I'll start with the hash brown.  All hash browns are much the same and this one was no different.  It was oily enough for my tastes.  It had a good, crunchy consistency, and delivered the flavour I have come to expect:  pretty much your average hash brown.  As for the sandwhich, my fears that it might be a bland offering disappeared when I took my first bite.  I tasted the presence of mayonnaise.  In the past I think I have avoided this sandwhich because I thought that there might be too much mayonnaise.  However, what I experienced was a very subtle taste that suited the sandwhich very well.  There was a good egg to salad ratio.  There was neither too much nor too little filling.  But it was really the conservative yet noticeable use of mayonnaise that made this sandwhich very enjoyable.  The egg was not as finely cut as I would have liked, and I would have preferred wholemeal bread to the multi-grain I received that day.  But these are only minor matters and subject to personal preference.  For something as simple as an egg and lettuce sandwhich, I think the  folks at Main Course Food Precinct nailed it; so much so that I went back there again the next day for another one.
