Does anyone eat pickled eggs?
 

It sounds disgusting, but I've never tried them. I came across a recipe for them and wondered if it would be worth a try.

I'm trying to picture sour eggs and...I just dunno.

Is there any way that these are not disgusting?

I've never had one but they sound delicious to me. I guess I'm weird like that

Re: Does anyone eat pickled eggs?
 

I've had them. It was some years ago and not so yummy that I looked for more opportunities to eat them but certainly edible. It's not so much a sour taste as vinegary.

I eat em.

They sell them in fish'n'chips shops in the UK. They're awesome, but a delicacy to be savoured occasionally rather than frequently.

Re: Does anyone eat pickled eggs?
 

That's the thing -- does anyone put vinegar on their eggs normally? If not, then...why pickled eggs?

I guess I can see in the old days before refrigeration, just to have some around, so they don't spoil and all. It's hard to picture anyone eating them now though.

I'm only interested because it sounds so weird, that now I want to try one.

Re: Does anyone eat pickled eggs?
 

Yes, they are freaking fabulous.

Re: Does anyone eat pickled eggs?
 

What's the difference between these and deviled eggs? Or Eggs Benedict? WTF are these things?

I'm pretty sure one of the above is horribly disgusting though. Just not sure which.

Re: Does anyone eat pickled eggs?
 

I feel like I would definitely hate pickled eggs, however this post made me realize that I wanted some hard boiled eggs, so I am making them now.

Put some salt and pepper on them and post a trip report here. Delicious snack.

No. Perhaps you don't understand that these things are not commonly eaten unless you live in Canada or Wisconsin.

Re: Does anyone eat pickled eggs?
 

weird I thought eggs benedict was a widespread thing. It's what I always head straight for at Vegas buffets. Anyways eggs benedict is awesome.

I was gonna say, WTF those things are common.

But I live in Milwaukee.

If I were a cliched [censored] I would use the Dodgeball "threw up in my mouth" line right here.

Re: Does anyone eat pickled eggs?
 

Yes, they're surprisingly good.

Trip Report:

1. Google Hard Boiled Egg (I am a 21 yr old male)

2. Place 3 delicious eggs in medium saucepan and cover with 1" extra of cold tap water. Bring to rolling boil, reduce heat to medium boil and anxiously wait 10 minutes. After 10 minutes place in the small saucepan which I cleverly filled with cold water (this prevents the inside from turning green , who knew!) Wait 3 more agonizing minutes...

3. Dry off eggs and try to peel them. These eggs are going very well with a Goose Island 312 Urban Wheat Ale. Peeling them was a task of moderate difficulty.

4. ...

5. Profit

Pickled eggs? Only if they're purple.

Seriously, I have the recipe for Really Hot Purple Pickled Eggs if anyone's interested. They're quite good, and you can adjust the fire level to your personal taste.

I've also done Scotch eggs, but that's been 20 years or so. (No, alcohol is not involved.)

Re: Does anyone eat pickled eggs?
 

Scotch eggs are great. You must have those in North America, right?

eggs, wrapped in sausage meat balls, and then breadcrumbed sort-of?

Tell me you have!

Re: Does anyone eat pickled eggs?
 

Actually no, not that I've seen. I have a recipe from a British cookbook, but they are great.

You are severely overcooking them. This can hurt the taste.

A large egg will hardboil in 9 or 10 minutes when put in water that is already boiling. Put the egg in the boiling water, and count down from when the water starts to boil again.

Overcooking eggs can make the middle change taste, even get a sulfur type of smell/taste.

Re: Does anyone eat pickled eggs?
 

Only time I've ever heard of Scotch eggs is here on 2+2. Never seen them on any menu either.

Re: Does anyone eat pickled eggs?
 

I never heard of scotch eggs either, but I just googled them and they look awesome!

Re: Does anyone eat pickled eggs?
 

Here's a recipe and picture.

You can get them in any deli/supermarket in the UK.

Hell, the sandwich van where I work sells em off the back. I'm gonna get one on Monday now.

mmmmm

Re: Does anyone eat pickled eggs?
 

Couldn't you just drop them in the left over juice of an empty pickle jar?

Re: Does anyone eat pickled eggs?
 

The recipe says you can eat 'em cold. I'd pass on that one. Could be good hot though. A quarter pound of sausage per egg sounds extremely rich and kind of gall-bladder boggling. I think I'd max at two of these, maybe one.

Re: Does anyone eat pickled eggs?
 

You're spot on. One is enough for anyone.
