Pickled Egg.

Clints picked cucumber thread brought back memories of eating pickled eggs years ago on a nights out, any fans on the forum?

I’m quite partial to a pickled egg ! I always make a jar for Boxing Day lunch !

Great for wind power :-)

Pickled herring, that's what puts everything back to normal before bedtime on a good night out.

I love pickled eggs! Another on the list...I got a few small onion off the plot to pickle too. Bought a load of vinegar earlier and hunted out the Kilner jars.

Dont mind a pickled egg at all. Like to eat them the traditional way which involves eating most of a bag of cheese and onion crisps, smashing up the remaining crisps in the bag and then shaking the egg around in the bag to give it a nice savoury coating.

Oh I love them too... In my youth, I would eat plenty down the pub. I have been known to buy a big jar at the cash n carry... Gone within a week... lovely

Having chickens, I eat them as it's a good way to loose a few from the egg basket.

Its a healthy snack!

Grew up on a small farm, and pickling eggs was often used as a way of preserving them when we had a glut. We used to use malt, rather than clear distilled pickling, vinegar as it was much cheaper in bulk, so the eggs would take on a brown tinge. Still tasted lovely. Haven't had one in ages, perhaps I'll buy a jar for old times sake.

I love pickled eggs (not often I have one though)!

Has anyone already read on the beeb site how bad pickled eggs are? I mean, they're spoiling anything anyway so it's time they should give anything pickled a bad name.

Love 'em. When we lived up in Scotland, we kept chickens and there was always a jar of home-pickled eggs in the house.

BTW one for Easter:

• Boil some eggs.
• Tap them with the back of a teaspoon so that the shells crack all over.
• Drop them into a pan of boiled water containing strong tea or edible colouring.
• Let them cool slowly.
• Peel and serve.

When peeled, the eggs will have an intricate pattern of coloured "cracks" on their surface.

They were a hit with the kids at Easter!

Pickled egg, cheese and salad cream sarnie.
At least once a fortnight :)
Pickling spice, peppercorns, couple of dried chillis, sea salt and vinegar. I make 'em all the time as the missus refuses to LOL
