bungle Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 Last night I was in the pub (well, more than 1), with a person from Devon. I went to order a pickled egg, and was informed that the "only" way to consume such a product was to get a bag of crisps, open it, and put the egg in. Then you eat the crisps and egg from the bag. I thought this odd, and it didn't really add to my enjoyment of the egg. Has anyone else come across this pickled egg/devonian combo?
Weston Super Saint Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 Nope. As you were informed, that is the only way to consume a pickled egg.
bungle Posted 31 October, 2008 Author Posted 31 October, 2008 Nope. As you were informed, that is the only way to consume a pickled egg. Are you saying that people from counties other than Devon eat pickled eggs in this manner?
Hatch Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 If you go to the pub with someone from Devon expect something weird to happen. It goes hand in hand.
Weston Super Saint Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 Are you saying that people from counties other than Devon eat pickled eggs in this manner? I'm saying there is no other way to eat pickled eggs - FACT :shock:
bungle Posted 31 October, 2008 Author Posted 31 October, 2008 I'm saying there is no other way to eat pickled eggs - FACT :shock: I was going to argue with you, but since you said FACT, I cannot.

JonnyLove Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 My Other half is from yorkshire. She too eats a pickled egg in such a mannor. (I find this very weird but then I don't like pickled eggs)
Weston Super Saint Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 My Other half is from yorkshire. She too eats a pickled egg in such a mannor. (I find this very weird but then I don't like pickled eggs) Proof, if ever proof were needed, that there is only one way to eat a pickled egg.
Scudamore Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 I'm not sure if this is the right thread for it...but i do love a good curried egg...
Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 My best kind of egg would be a fried egg with a runny yolk. That is all
bungle Posted 31 October, 2008 Author Posted 31 October, 2008 I'm not sure if this is the right thread for it...but i do love a good curried egg... An interesting side note, I agree. I am partial to ordering a curry with egg in (Bengal?) when out at an Indian restaurant. My best kind of egg would be a fried egg with a runny yolk. That is all This is not a thread about eggs of choice, but you are a boring mongloid so I guess you don't know better. People like yourself have ruined this forum etc etc.
Hatch Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 Do people from Devon have to pickle their eggs because food is only delivered down there once every 6 months.
bridge too far Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 I'm not sure if this is the right thread for it...but i do love a good curried egg... Mr TF occasionally introduces an egg into a curry, when he's making one.
bungle Posted 31 October, 2008 Author Posted 31 October, 2008 Do people from Devon have to pickle their eggs because food is only delivered down there once every 6 months. Countyist.
Hatch Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 Countyist. I apologise. I was taking the thread away from eggs and on to counties. There is no excuse.

Scudamore Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 I was referring to these by the way...as opposed to eggs in curry...which i'm not entirely convinced about...there's enough stink going in ya body during a curry without popping a sulphur bomb in there too! http://www.poultrykeepersalmanac.com/the_ark/aindex.cgi I mentioned it as i've had them as a bar snack...man they were good
bungle Posted 31 October, 2008 Author Posted 31 October, 2008 I apologise. I was taking the thread away from eggs and on to counties. There is no excuse. Hatch: Have you ever eaten a pickled egg in the manner described in the initial post?

Are they for girls?
Hatch Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 Hatch: Have you ever eaten a pickled egg in the manner described in the initial post? Never. In fact I have never eaten a pickled egg in any manner. I can offer no opinion in the egg tasting world.
bungle Posted 31 October, 2008 Author Posted 31 October, 2008 Never. In fact I have never eaten a pickled egg in any manner. I can offer no opinion in the egg tasting world. I think that at some point during your weekend you should eat a pickled egg and report back.
Scudamore Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 Those eggs are sliced in half. Are they for girls? You have to slice em in half to get the yolk out for mixing with the mayonnaise and curry, etc. I suppose they could try and invent a device to remove the yolk without cutting it...something like an olive pitter...then squirt it back in like a filling in a doughnut...
Hatch Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 I think that at some point during your weekend you should eat a pickled egg and report back. I shall endeavor to do this during my weekend of debauchery. Although pickled eggs do not fit into a drugs, sex and alcohol orgy weekend.
bungle Posted 31 October, 2008 Author Posted 31 October, 2008 I shall endeavor to do this during my weekend of debauchery. Although pickled eggs do not fit into a drugs, sex and alcohol orgy weekend. I thought you were mowing the lawn?

Couldn't they just coat the eggs in curry?
Weston Super Saint Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 Couldn't they just coat the eggs in curry? Won't the shells get upset if they have their coat duties taken away :smt102
Scudamore Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 Couldn't they just coat the eggs in curry? No...the yolk give it the texture Although maybe making up a seperate batch for the yolk... Then making up some kind of spicy scotch egg could work i'd suggest...
bungle Posted 31 October, 2008 Author Posted 31 October, 2008 Won't the shells get upset if they have their coat duties taken away :smt102 Well, they'd only get broken by the hatching chick anyway, so to me it's no big deal.

Weston Super Saint Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 Also known as Devilled Eggs, I think you'll find. Think you're taking this halloween lark too far.
Window Cleaner Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 Also known as Devilled Eggs, I think you'll find. Devilled eggs are made by mashing hard boiled egg yolk with mayonnaise,shallots;parsley and hot mustard and piping them back into the white.
bridge too far Posted 31 October, 2008 Posted 31 October, 2008 Think you're taking this halloween lark too far. ... liking it

I didn't succumb to the temptation though.
Michelle Posted 1 November, 2008 Posted 1 November, 2008 What an incredibly bizarre way of consuming a pickled egg. I was born in Devon and have never heard of this obscure act, let alone eaten a pickled egg in this fashion. I am, therefore, clearly lucky that I escpaed Devon at a young age.

Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 1 November, 2008 Posted 1 November, 2008 Clearly in denial. Surely that would make him Egyptian rather than Devonian?
Dog Posted 1 November, 2008 Posted 1 November, 2008 Pickled eggs and cheese and onion crisps are the only way to eat them. I've been eating them like that for years and I'm not from Devon. It is old skool.
saint lard Posted 1 November, 2008 Posted 1 November, 2008 Make egg mayonaise as per normal,add curry powder,amount being dependant on your'e tastbuds,make a sandwhich with the curried egg as the filling. It's bloody lovely.
Michelle Posted 1 November, 2008 Posted 1 November, 2008 Surely that would make him Egyptian rather than Devonian? Him!?
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 1 November, 2008 Posted 1 November, 2008 Him!? And I've met you...:smt090 It must be tonight's cider. Apologies.
Mattio Posted 2 November, 2008 Posted 2 November, 2008 No, but I did see a chippy with hot Scotch Eggs in Devon which I found odd...
tpbury Posted 2 November, 2008 Posted 2 November, 2008 My Dad, who has cursed me with a liking for most things pickled, as well as mustard, hp sauce, branston and the Saints has a liking for swamp monkey ******** - aka pickled walnuts. I've never been able to bring myslef to eat one - the black tendrilly ouziness of one puts me off. Any one like these? Strangely, I lived in Devon til I was 13 - can it be a coincedence?
TopGun Posted 2 November, 2008 Posted 2 November, 2008 Pickled eggs are great if you want to be left alone for a while!
JohnnyFartPants Posted 5 November, 2008 Posted 5 November, 2008 This very same method of eating the pickled egg is alive and practised in Wiltshire too. I became quite the convert on it after living there six years.
Durleyfos Posted 5 November, 2008 Posted 5 November, 2008 Hard boiled eggs in a fish pie is also most welcome.
bridge too far Posted 5 November, 2008 Posted 5 November, 2008 My all time favourite is Eggs Benedict. Closely followed (but not at the same meal) by poached haddock with a poached egg on top. Yum.

Pickled walnuts are ferking luvly , strangely they are nothing like 'normal' walnuts .....
Thedelldays Posted 5 November, 2008 Posted 5 November, 2008 i live in devon and have no craving for things pickled
