That's the ones!!

They make really bad pickled eggs too...

And they're not that tasty as boiled eggs. Don't know why they bother really!

Same with those precooked omelettes: they taste like cotton wool with salt. And it takes a couple of minutes to make an omelette... (And why can't I get the spelling of that right? :? )

OK Ina I have to know how in the hell you ever found yourself in a situation where you had to eat pre-cooked omelette? :shock: :shock: :shock: (whatever that is exactly!)

That's how you spell it isn't it? :?

This is all quite disturbing :shock:

Is that why people go to catering college these days? to learn to open a tube of egg :shock:

I have never had a pickled egg...

I have a few questions

Can you use them in egg mayonaise? (ie, for a filler in a baked potato)
Can you slice them and have them in a salad?

Or do you just munch them straight from the jar?

When I have hens, I would like to keep some for use in the winter, so it sounds like a good idea to pickle them.

Mmmh, the spell checker doesn't like the omelette... But I think it looks right.

Well: I worked in a hotel kitchen once - the cheap type, that caters for coach tours. We didn't always use them, but had them in stock for busy times. Yak.

And then - I went to have breakfast in a roadside cafe that actually looked quite decent last year - advertised "good home cooking" :roll: - and ordered an omelette breakfast. Guess what I got... :pukeright: And it wasn't even busy at the time!

Mostly you just eat them straight from the jar. In the NE of England the tradition at the pub is that you get a bag of crisps, the barman opens them out and pops a pickled egg on top.

The are nice added to a salad, or in sandwiches, I think for a filling for a baked potato they would be too vinegary. They go well with anything that you would consider adding a pickled onion to I would say as a rough guide.

I do hope you mean CHIPS, not CRISPS :? But an egg still sounds like an odd accompaniment to me :?

thanks anyway, I must try one sometime :mrgreen:

Ah well, Annpan - different country, different tastes...

Believe me, a lot of stuff that's eaten regularly here would cause the same reaction in Germany: salt and vinegar crisps; vinegar on chips; chips with everything; deep fried pizza (etc!)... :pale: :pale: :pale:

And of course, warm beer; beer without head... :mrgreen:

I've never had a pickled egg although I remember seeing them in chippies (in the south of England). That's probably why I don't like the idea. :pale:

Unbelievable! Wouldn't it take as long to reheat the thing as to cook one from scratch? :shock:

Well - I suppose it is a bit quicker. And all the washing up etc... But they are tiny, too - I'm sure there's not even the equivalent of two eggs in there!
