Pickled Eggs Anyone????
Well, a buddy and I are looking for a good pickled egg recipe.
Its become a bit of a tradition to play the local money game at the golf course on Tues afternoon, then head to an oldschool local bar (open since 1931) and have a few beers and a pickled egg. For the last week or two, the bar has been out of eggs, and the recipe is mediocre at best..... I know alot of people think of pickled eggs as
, but I've found one ever now and again sure is good with a cold cheap beer.
Here are a few that I've found. Any other ideas????

^^^ They can be sweet/sour/peppery/garlicy...... You hard boil the eggs, then peel them. Then you boil you pickle concoction and poor it over the eggs in whatever jar you use. It really depends on what you pickle them in. Usually you use white vinegar, peppers, jalapenos, garlic, onion, sugar sometimes, tabasco....etc

If you eat it by itself, a dash of soy sauce and maybe sesame oil simply makes it delightful.

Well, the best way I can describe it is that it kinda has a smooth and creamy texture of avocado (yolk)...the flavor is...almost cheese-like and is rich.
The egg is actually a preserved duck/chicken egg called "pidan". Over here, it's often referred to as the "1000-year-old egg". That's a misnomer since the egg is usually pickled/treated in about 100 days or so. The color of the egg is derived from a coating of ash, pine wood chips, salt and tea leaves. Once the hard-boiled egg is wrapped in that layer, you would store it in a cool, dry place for about 3 months.
Again, I say it, it's really not that bad. Next time, if you have a chance at a Chinese eatery, ask for a bowl of congee with the pidan included.

Though it looks old and rotten, it still looks waaaay better than that fertilized duck embryo.

the only yucky part is the yolk. has a bit of bitterness to it. the "white" actually tastes kinda sweet.
when i was a kid i wouldn't eat the yolk b/c of the taste but i eventually got used to it.
it tastes good w/ a bowl of congee

Well, as a reference, there are dishes I would likely not recommend as they are too "exotic" in Chinese cuisine (i.e. pork blood). But, pidan is really not that bad as long as you can look past the different color.
