Remember pickled eggs?
Years ago I used to buy pickled eggs from convenience stores from big unrefrigerated glass jars.
I recently had a taste for some and made a batch from a online recipe. They were great and I just made a second batch.
Anyone remember them? I wonder why they disappeared but I suspect some type of government prohibition or was it due to no demand. Never seen them
in Baja and my MX taste testers don't like them.

Sold tons of them in my bar/disco in Sacramento.
Had a sign up that said:
Pickled eggs 25 cents each or 3 for a dollar
You'd be surprised at how many dollar purchases were made.

I had forgotten about them...but when I was young and worked in a bar they were sold out of those big glass jars...I went on to make them myself, but
also pickeled beets and onions in the same jar...made for beautiful fushcia colored eggs!

Yep, a good way to use the liquid in an empty pickle bottle. Load it up with boiled eggs. Now that salt and cholesterol aren't staples of my diet
anymore.....

I would be a better man if I knew what fushcia is. I can only say they're kinka red.  But yes, the recipes I found did include beets and many onions which I love.
I had in mind they cost about a quarter years ago but didn't remember exactly. I guess today it would be 50 cents. I miss them. Ahhh, the good ol
days.

Probably Health Dept rules that don't allow jars of unrefrigerated foods sitting on the bar.
Why do Liberals insist and demand that achievers pay the way for nonachievers who are to lazy to succeed, or are just failures by their own choice?
Criminals prefer unarmed victims, dictators prefer unarmed subjects.
Why do ignorant people continue their blabbering when it only proves to others how stupid they are.

For 1 dozen eggs
Put in a large glass jar:
1 Tbsp pickling spice
1 clove garlic
2 Bay leaves
1 red peppercorn
1 large onion sliced
Put boiled eggs in glass jar and squeeze juice of one lemon over it.
Brine:
1 Tbsp pickling salt
3 cups of water

Do not cook this, dissolve well with wooden spoon. Pour over eggs. Leave at room temperature over night and the store in cool place.

Well, when you leave the Pemex, go home and make a batch.

The leftover juice from a can of pickled jalapeņos works great, too.
