Pickled Eggs.
Food of the gods or to be avoided unless you are drunk in your local chip shop and you need a nibble while your cod is cooking?
I have often wondered about those eggs in the huge jars, they never seem to age, they are always white!
So in the interest of culinary science I did some research.
I now think you will find that the pickled eggs in your local chippy are for decorative purposes only and not for sale. They are in fact made of china hence the reason they never seem to change colour.
In the interest of science you could carry out a very small experiment to ascertain the truth of the matter.
1 Walk into your local chippy
2 Go straight to the counter and open the jar
3 Place your hand into the jar and remove one from the bottom of the jar, remembering to remove your glove first.
4 Squeeze the egg, checking for texture and listening for the give away squeek.
5 Drop the egg back into the jar, stare at the staff and customers and say loudly, "China"
6 Walk out leaving the grateful staff and customers cheering you.
I thought I would share that with you, there is no charge.
