Pickled hard boiled eggs.

[Lone Wolf '49]

My dad spoke of pickled eggs. He said back when he was young and sending most of his money back home to help take care of his seven brothers and sisters that a trip to the bar for a beer actually helped stretch what money he kept for himself. I guess back then bars had pickled eggs and other assorted free snacks to go along with your cold beer.

They were not free.

O.M.G. I KNEW there was something wrong with you!!! bleech ...

You mean something else, don't you? There are many things wrong with me as many here will attest to.

Here is my recipe, boil and peel two dozen eggs, place in a gallon jar, dump in a jar of jalepeno peppers along with the liquid, top off the jar with white vinegar, screw the lid on and allow the eggs to pickle for at least a couple of days. The longer the eggs stay in the jar the hotter they get! Hope this helps.

What liquid besides the white vinegar?

I think he meant the liquid in the jar along with the jalapenos.


I've never tried pickled eggs. They don't sound particularly appetizing, but I'll try most anything once.

They were not free at the Hook nor anyplace that I recall. Do remember in 1970 when I was in Chicago that an upscale bar/restaurant (Mayor's Row) downtown having free horse doervies along with nickel a glass of Schlitz on tap from 4 to 6 PM Monday through Friday, correction only on Wednesdays. We would go in our boots and jeans and all else were in their business suits. After about four weeks they told us we had to wear ties, so we wore our boots, jeans and ties. They did not say anything after that.

Atwoods did have some in stock ( Coweta Atwoods location ) you might check a store near you.
Did you ever try the pickles sausages. They where always next to the eggs at the place I used to frequent.

I do remember the sausages and they were good too, but enjoy the eggs more.

I've never tried pickled eggs, I'm not even sure I've seen them at a bar. But anything that's mentioned to go great with beer I'm down to try.

Might just invest in some ingredients to make a couple of my own.

They are DE-Vine! My wife doesn't like me to eat them, on account of the aftermath. Makes little children pass out, and grown men cry like little children. It also makes my wife hit me, and cuss. I might have to go find some now.
