If there is one thing that makes my friends who have lived in the
UK go glassy eyed and reminisce about their time in the Motherland it’s the mention of pickled eggs.
Pickled eggs are a bar snack that divides people sharply, a love hate situation where many of the haters are so reviled by the idea that they never let the delicacy pass their lips. I on the other hand was fascinated by the prospect, I love eggs and I’m partial to pickled foods so I set out to pickle my own.
After a bit of research I decided on a recipe of vinegar, habanero chilli, cumin seed, black pepper, and cardamom. After 2 weeks in the solution the eggs are rich, tart and spicy, perfect with a pint, even better in a sandwich with crisps and mayo. I’m a fan.
