[noway2]

Another way to preserve some eggs.



One dozen in a wider mouth quart jar. Cider vinegar, salt, garlic, red pepper tumeric.

My grandmother was someone special. There’s no reason for you to trust her recipe. But, if you want to understand her dedication to all things kitchen, go type (manual typewriter please) a recipe on a 3x5 card. Then, type several hundred more.

They were made in several colors and I’d eat them faster than they were made.

I grew up with them and I love them. I don't meet many people that will even consider trying one.

When I was a kid mom made a purple sweet version with beets. I'll still eat them but if I'm making my own my tastes have shifted to a spicier version with a lot of crystal hot sauce.

Recipe looks good. Similar to the one I posted, but with different spices, but the blog did say there are lots of different things to try. The ginger and allspice sound interesting and make me think of pumpkin pie.

I like pickled (chicken) eggs ok.

But I'm fanatical about pickled quail eggs.

My sister was very upset when she found out I had gotten out of raising quail and making pickled quail eggs.

"You finally do something worth a damn then quit?"

Sisters, you got to love them.
Yours sounds like mine, sometimes makes me wish I had pushed her down the hill harder.

I never ate a pickled egg, but a big jar of pickled eggs (and/or pickled pigs feet) was a common sight on the counter of every country store my grandpa took me to, back in the 1950s.

Back when I was in college, I had a friend who was several years older who told stories about going to the bar, drinking beer and eating pickled eggs. Apparently, one time the egg didn't sit well with his friend who barfed it up with the beer while riding his motorcycle home. I'm sure it tasted even better the second time around.

These are the ones I grew up eating too. She only made them once a year with the eggs we dyed for Easter. It’s been a few years since I have made any but my brother makes them every year.

Genuinely curious. I've seen pickled quail eggs at a lot of stores, but never tried them at it was a $10 gamble on an unknown quantity. What's the difference? If I'm a fan of chicken eggs, are the quail eggs going to be vastly different?

Dammit, now you guys have me looking at quail cages and considering raising some quail.

There is not much different "taste-wise" (obviously depending on which recipe, but apples to apples very similar).

Texture is where the difference lies. Texture, and amount of yolk to white.

Have you ever heard (or experienced) the notion of getting fresh cheese curds and how they should "squeak against your teeth" as you bite through?

That's the kind of texture and consistency that good quail eggs brings to the table.

It's not gonna blow your socks off, and you aren't gonna abandon the regular pickled eggs, but you probably will enjoy them and the differences.

I pickle eggs in beet juice. Nothing better than a beet pickled egg, salt and pepper and crackers!

@kcult gave me 18 quail eggs and told me his method to hard boil them.
Got them done and was thinking about how I wanted to eat them.
Decided to made egg salad and have a sandwich.
Damn they were good, great flavor.

I think the biggest draw for me, outside of my recipe, was how they are the perfect size for snacking.

Sorta like the difference between jumbo skrimps and the popcorn variety.

I've only ever eaten one pickled chicken egg and the texture made me think that's what white clay must be like. I won't be digging that mess out of a dirt bank to munch on.

Did you tell her about your diligent work in bucket recovery?

Also this thread makes me crave pickled eggs.

Can you do anything with a pickled egg other then just eating them as they sit? Such as egg salad or something?

Speaking of quail eggs, I contacted a hatchery I like, Murray McMurray (more vibrant chicks than Myer) and they said they have quail chicks in April and a June (through Sept) depending on the breed.

Send her a bucket for a Christmas gift.

I'm getting three eggs a day and have an incubator that will hold 12 eggs.

I've loaned it out before, with eggs, and don't mind doing it again, if you think you're interested in hatching a few.

Edit: We loaned out the incubator to a coworker of my wife's and gave her 12 eggs. She had eight to hatch and they are all still alive almost 10 weeks later.

I posted my experience here..

Doing the quail thing. Vurry small scale.

I was gifted a half dozen quail a few months back. I had an empty coop, so said why not. Turns out there were three males and three females. I gave away two males. The females finally started laying eggs. We were eating most of the eggs, but I set aside a few to incubate (after buying an...

I have cut them in half and added them to a salad.

This is so much better than visiting a trash website infested with ads to get a recipe. My grandma hand wrote them and kept them in a little wooden box.

Musta been a grandma thing. 😀

I've made egg salad with spicy and beet pickled eggs. Both tasted great, just like egg salad with extra spices added. The texture of a pickled egg is a little firmer than just a plain boiled egg so the salad felt a little chunkier from the smoother texture of traditional egg salad. Not really an issue.

Easiest pickled eggs, quart jar full of eggs dump a half or whole jar of the hot pickled jalepenos juice and all
top off with white vinegar set in the fridge for at least a week
