What are Deviled Eggs?
Not everyone though is on board on why its called “deviled” eggs. But I do know that it makes you a bit “devil-sh” for wanting to eat the whole thing. Well, the term itself goes back to the 1700s as a culinary term used to describe a well-seasoned fried or boiled dish. Those were usually spicy which relates to hell for being hot. Thus, the word devil.

- Fill the pot with cold water 1-inch above eggs so eggs are covered completely.

This recipe looks lovely.
I will try it soon as I can get hold of some eggs which, in the UK, currently appear rarer than toilet rolls!

Oh my! That’s crazy Nick. I haven’t seen toilet paper in stores for weeks now. We have eggs but in limited quantities -only one per family.
Hope you can get a hold of some soon.
