This jar of Jalapeño eggs was spotted in Zanesville, Ohio when I stopped to use the restroom at the gas station on the way back to Pittsburgh. I bet these eggs are hot! They were right next to the jars of pickled beets. They got me thinking about pickled eggs I found an article in Mental Floss why bars sell pickled eggs which I really didn’t know much about. I also learned there are recipes in case you want to pickle some hard boiled eggs- here’s a recipe for pink pickled eggs from The Guardian

But if it’s the Jalapeño Eggs you want to taste and you can’t find a jar like I did, these take just seven days to make.
Those do look hot! I’d try pickled eggs but not hot ones!
I’m pretty sure they only get better with age!
I’m not sure but interesting!!
Pickled eggs in malt vinegar used to be a feature on the counter of all fish and chip shops in the UK, along with some pubs.
I love eggs. I love them almost anyway you can prepare them. I love them scrambled. I love them fried. I love them soft-boiled. I love deviled eggs. I love egg salad. I love a scrambled egg sandwich and a fried egg on a burger. However, I’ve never been a fan of hard- boiled eggs, and I’m afraid I wouldn’t be a fan of these pickled ones.
I like pickled eggs made with beets. We always had them at picnics.
Never tried pickled eggs before, those look really hot.
Pickled no, jalapeño yes. Dc
No.
I have never eaten a pickled egg. I would not mind trying one given the opportunity. When I was a young boy I would go into a local tavern with my father. I remember seeing a big jar of eggs in purple juice that I now suspect was beet juice. It seemed like the same eggs were always there. I never saw anybody eat one. I wonder if that jar was ever opened over the years.
One thing I don’t like about many pickled eggs is the hard texture they get over time. I make my own so they stay nice and soft. Also, I do quail eggs. I like bite sized.
Interesting article about why bars sell (or sold) pickled eggs! I wonder how long a pickled egg keeps?
