My dad introduced this "not for the faint of heart" delicacy to our family YEARS ago. When he was in the navy, he worked at the base bar. They would pickle eggs, and place them in a big glass jar. He said that they wouldn't move AT ALL until the evening had progressed, and the patrons had "had a few", then...they disappeared! For good reason...they are AWESOME!!!!!
Perhaps it's an acquired taste, but, I can tell you that, even though the BEST way to eat them is straight out of the pickle juice with a little salt and pepper, they are also AMAZING as the eggs in whatever egg salad recipe you like!
If I've piqued your interest, they are easy to make. Hard boil 8 eggs. Shell, then place the eggs in a jar of pickle juice (I actually TAKE the pickles out of the juice as soon as I buy them, and place them in another container in the refrigerator, JUST to get the juice). Let sit in the refrigerator for three or four days, and...VOILA!!!
Here's hoping YOU have a "family classic" that tickles your tastebuds too!!!!
