Today I had not sweet pickle relish for egg-salad, but I did have a few sweet bread and butter pickles at the bottom of a jar of homemade pickles...the last of the cans form downstairs...I chopped them finely, and strained out the celery seed and spices...and there I had some!
Oooo the mustard seeds that have been in brine for months...they add a little bit of texture to the egg salad, and the flavor cannot be beat....Now, will I have to make homemade relish all the time? No, I want to go get a full time job.
I will add more egg salads variation later....but for now, this is enough
Actually I will Not. Charlie Brown did it for me:

Charlie Brown suggested adding added bologna in. What kind he meant, I do not know, I mean the red kind from PA
There is Lebanon (PA) Bologna (pronounced baloney)it is peppery and spice, and moist
and there is Sweet Bologna, which is like above, but not peppery, just sweet and salty, and a little bit less moist
and there is double smoked sweet....very sweet and dry, a little like jerky, but not tough, it is almost like candy,
and goes well with Peanut Butter....and sweet gherkin or sliced pickles (but not with egg salad. LOL!
It also goes will with Philly Cream cheese
So, there, go get your Pennsylvania on!
OH, yeah, back to egg salad....stuffed green olives are good and so salty in egg salad
and I think my home smoked salmon would be good flaked into egg salad....I have not posted that recipe yet...another day
