Re: Pickled Eggs.

My hubby pickles eggs every Christmas not in a small jar but the very large jars you get with gherkins in, he saves them up and then the pickling begins. i hate the smell from the kitchen when he's boiled and shelled them... yuck!

Student days oop North. Oh yes seen it. 7 pints of Tetley`s chippy, and a pickled egg. I was an undergrad chemist before switching to Psychology. Is it mind or matter?-why eat a pickled egg when one knows one is going to throw it up?

Stop it, stop it all of you - I am drooling all over my keyboard here!

Re: Pickled Eggs.

I have never tried pickling eggs - would your hubby care to share his recipe?

Is it just as simple as boiling a few eggs and sticking them in jar with vinegar?

Strange that, isn't it Longdoggy.


I must say I have never fancied eating one.
