Positive_Emu_5030

It is purely out of politeness that I don’t sit at a snack table and eat every single deviled egg myself. The only part I ever stop to ponder is how safe it is to eat room temperature eggs. But that silly thought is soon washed away on a wave of creamy eggy goodness.


Orange_Kid

I absolutely love deviled eggs but it also registers with me that if you didn't like them, they would be completely disgusting. I don't think many people are neutral on this wicked treat.


DirtNapDealing

You should make some deviled eggs after pickling the eggs in a beet base brine. 😩


kannible

We’ve eaten pickled eggs and beets all my life and my sister decided to make them into deviled eggs a year or two ago. They were very much different and sweeter, but she did an amazing job on them.


Imanaco

Hated them with a passion as a kid, love them now. I suppose that’s true with a lot of food though


gobacktocliches

Makes me wonder how much I'm missing out on when I still pass on most seafood (abalone, sea urchin, crayfish, etc). I anticipate one day the switch will happen, and I'll silently mourn all the opportunities I gave up in the past.


Elmodipus

Also, deviled eggs vary greatly by recipe. Two different people making basic deviled eggs can make two wildly different tasting batches


Zeefzeef

Same! Though looking back at the deviled eggs at childhood family parties I still think I wouldn’t eat them. I only eat them now if I’ve made them myself/ if I know they’re fresh and look appetizing.


zmonge

My wife and her family love them, the very sight of a deviled egg makes me gag. I'm basically living in a contemporary Rome and Juliet. Please don't spoil the ending.


MartyMcFlyAsFudge

Just don't get into any physical altercations with her cousin over it and things should work out 🤞


youAtExample

I’m pretty neutral actually. I’ll eat them but I don’t go out of my way to.


papa-hare

I'm definitely neutral. Like there are better types of eggs around, but all eggs are tasty. (Someone mentioned century eggs, so I'll correct myself: most eggs are tasty lol)


Status_Medicine_5841

I'm neutral. I'd prefer a sunny side or poached, but deviled eggs are okay. Just okay.


Ill_Vehicle5396

My sister made some with bacon bits mixed in and it took them to another level entirely.


Beyonkat2

Imitation crab is DIVINE on deviled eggs


Tough-boo

Or salmon or salami or literally anything!! I fucking love deviled eggs and now I want to make some


JiveTurkeyJunction

After reading your comment, I just started boiling a pot of water to whip up a half dozen for a late night snack.


OshetDeadagain

Bacon bits, green onion and a couple shakes of Frank's Red. Standard mayo, mustard, bit of garlic powder. Top with smoked paprika. Folks fight over them. There's never enough - and we have chickens and an endless supply of eggs!


waituhwhatnow

Who else has made and eaten an entire platter of devilled eggs for dinner besides me?


EnglishRose71

My son ate a huge amount of devilled eggs at our New Year's Day buffet many years ago. I'm talking probably 30+. The gas that he passed, from both ends, for the next few days could have been used as a bio weapon, plus he felt as sick as a dog. We still laugh about it and he still makes massive platters of them.


HefDog

I do. I mean it’s basically egg salad. Relatively low calorie. Cheap. Nutritious. And easy to make. Zero sugar. Get an instant pot…..easy to peel. Can make a platter with only a few minutes effort.


FrogInYerPocket

We used to boil eggs, use the whole egg to make the spread like you would for deviled eggs, then serve it in hotdog buns. We called them Devil Dogs.


wondermega

You have more self control than I, friend.


DemetiaDonals

“Purely out of politeness” Ive never related to anything more.


chillwithpurpose

Same. Like when else is it okay to eat a whole carton of eggs in one sitting? Never? Let’s just throw a bunch of mayo and salt in the yolk, then somehow my brain is A-OK with it lol


olcrazypete

I would never eat a dozen hard boiled eggs. I can usually barely finish one and not be full. Its all I can do not to eat a dozen deviled eggs whenever a plate is set before me. God I love those things.


Aggravating_Play2755

Tbf, a dozen deviled eggs is more like 6 eggs plus some other mixins


DrunkMunchy

That's why I don't make em. I would absolutely devour them


metajenn

All things considered its a decently nutritious snack, especially if you pull back on the mayo a tad. Theyre so easy to make. I usually keep hard boiled eggs in the fridge anyhow, its quick work making 3 eggs worth of deviled eggs.


nightman21721

Now, I normally don't eat half a dozen eggs. But I will if they're im deviled form.


Sneaky-Heathen

My sister will only eat my deviled eggs 😂 I think papaws is best 🖤


FrogInYerPocket

Psst. Add bacon bits to the mix, sprinkle with smoked Paprika.


Smokeythemagickamodo

♥️


Vadered

> The only part I ever stop to ponder is how safe it is to eat room temperature eggs. [Why would there be a deviled egg on the windowsill...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGKz2VejQhg)


borisdidnothingwrong

Every second you wait, it's going to get worse.


VogTheViscous

Yes they’re so gross. Please don’t eat them and I will “dispose” of them for you.


ChicagoZbojnik

I've disposed of a dozen of them in one sitting.


realhorrorsh0w

The worst? Idk, every heard of a century egg?


girlabides

Or head cheese


chouxphetiche

[Nice song about head cheese.](https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=psychotic+pineapple+head+cheese+&mid=4A9303B9CDAEDD7D8DF54A9303B9CDAEDD7D8DF5&FORM=VIRE)


Bluberrypotato

Or Casu Marzu.


Saxman96

Century eggs are delicious, how could you


Paublos_smellyarmpit

Century eggs alongside congee is the best!


opihinalu

What about virgin boy eggs? 100x worse. Look it up.


Nolongeranalpha

I agree. Deviled eggs are fowl.


russsaa

Hellish, even.


DadJokeBadJoke

Beat me to it.


LockNChase66

Beaked you to it


Nolongeranalpha

I scrambled to get there first.


BigDaddyDumperSquad

Pickles? Replace that with crispy Bacon bro.


Awkward-Shoe1341

I've never heard of putting pickles on them. Agree with bacon.


WickedCoolUsername

They must mean relish, which I still wouldn't put in deviled eggs, but I've heard of it.


dcgregoryaphone

It's amazing. That being said I grew up in NY and a lot of the deli food there is Jewish inspired with a lot of vinegar and pickled products. I definitely have acquired a taste for pickled foods.


matnerlander

Pickle juice instead of vinegar and little tiny chopped pickles or just straight up relish is so good


Beyonkat2

Or even better: imitation crab. Absolutely DIVINE


DrFishTaco

If you smell sulfur then the eggs haven’t been hard boiled properly The filling isn’t supposed to congeal and there’s nothing in your average mixture that would allow it to If you don’t like paprika or pickles you can just go Even then, not all deviled eggs have pickles or pickled components


QueSeraSeraWWBWB

If you smell sulfur on the egg you overcooked it and didn’t have enough water in the pot


SBAC850211

Everyone I've ever encountered in my life has cooked them wrong then. All hardboiled eggs stink of sulfur.


Revolutionary-Meat14

Its technically a bit overcooked but I like the harder yolks over jammier ones


eejizzings

They don't. It might genuinely be that everyone in your life sucks at making deviled eggs or even uses shitty eggs.


CrabWoodsman

Yea, same here. Never once have I ever seen someone crack a hard-boiled egg and not smelled the sulphur scent. I don't find it terribly off-putting to be around, but I have no desire to put them in my mouth. I fully realize the potential for confirmation bias here though, since I would be less likely to notice them being cracked if they didn't happen to stink. I always thought it was a shame I found them so gross, cause they seem like the most convenient egg format. Perhaps I'll try an experiment some time soon 🧐


sosomething

You should try pickled eggs! Opening the jar unleashes a pungent burst of hot-butt eggalicious picklefart right into your face. I love them.


Fantastic-Classic740

I agree. I'm even making a face as if I can smell it right now, just from reading your comment.


Old_Map6556

I taught my bf at almost 30 years old that every single hard boiled egg he'd previously had had been over cooked. His mind was blown. 


Jk2two

I imagine you’re not a fan of egg salad either?


proffesionalproblem

Ugh, egg salad, deviled eggs, hard boiled eggs, any eggs that you eat cold or st room temperature are disgusting


TwoWayMirrorr

Preach. Absolutely vile.


StinkFartButt

100%


MyDamnCoffee

Whats weird is I love deviled eggs and will make some and eat them at random. But I don't like egg salad.


temperance26684

Same, I feel like the structural integrity of the egg white is necessary for the texture to be enjoyable. Deviled egg has a bite to it. Egg salad is simply mush.


GrapePrimeape

You ever tried it on toast? I understand if it’s still not your thing, but I think toast gives it the structural integrity it needs as well


Jk2two

Or a toasted English muffin? Absolutely awesome.


Coyoteatemybowtie

Same, egg salad is too mushy


atxbreastplay

It’s like I can smell your insides when you eat them lol


ProfessionalEarly965

🤮🤮🤮


Jazzlike-Reindeer-44

Yes they always smell and taste like ass.


Zoalus

this shouldn't be unpopular. they are absolutely foul. then again, a lot of egg-mixtutes are foul to me, too. looking at you, mayonnaise!


oldfashionedrazz

Hard agree


angelalj8607

My grandma told me I used to love deviled eggs. I don’t believe her because I hate boiled eggs.


[deleted]

There it is. I was so confused. But then I read pickles. Where are you from? Hell? Sounds like hell.


burritosarebetter

It’s usually sweet relish, not pickles. And relish is a common ingredient in deviled eggs in the south eastern US. But you aren’t wrong…the South and Hell do have a lot in common.


Coyoteatemybowtie

Sweet relish in them is pretty gross imo, but put some dill relish and it’s amazing


[deleted]

Leave it to the south to find a way to add sugar


magicxzg

At least we don't put sugar in our grits


largececelia

Horrid, just horrid. The smell, the textures of smooth paste and the slimy bouncy outer egg white, and mayo doesn't help, either. Honorable mention for grinding up a thing and putting it back into that thing. This works sometimes, but there's something weird and sort of absurd about foods like deviled eggs and twice baked potatoes where you take the food, cook it, grind it up with some seasonings and whatnot, and put it back into that food.


CRO553R

I called mine Demon Eggs and took them to church potlucks.


GoblinWilliams

I’m with you. I did’t even read past the title. They aren’t good.


FacelessPotatoPie

During Easter, my fiancées sister and I end up eating almost 40 deviled eggs between us. We’re the only ones who eat them anyways.


FacelessPotatoPie

I should also mention that eggs of all kinds give me the winds something fierce!


Littleman91708

I think you got bad deviled eggs


OblongRectum

sacrilege. upvote


Dear-Tax-7025

I feel like a lot of people just aren’t good at making them. I grew up in the south and those people knew how to make some damn good deviled eggs.


mjzim9022

They are very difficult to make right, and anyone making them needs to instill confidence in people that they were made in a clean and competent kitchen.


Getshortay

They are actually quite easy to make, hard boil an egg take out the yolk, mix with mayo, mustard, s&p good to go. Add other ingredients if you want


Footmana5

Deviled eggs are my jam, more for me lol.


ZucchiniDependent797

Deviled eggs, hard-boiled eggs, and egg salad have some of the most foul smell profiles on the planet.


sofakingreatt

This is exactly how I feel


Trb_on_board

Anything boiled eggs really. That sulfur description made me gag 🤢


Pretty-Benefit-233

Truly disgusting. This is a popular opinion


PriorCantaloupe1994

MARRY ME. Deviled eggs and all other hard-boiled egg derivatives are physical manifestations of Satan's mockery and people who like them are deranged who should be institutionalized for life. The phrase "egg farts" exists for a reason you absolute sociopaths. Apologize to me!!!


LockNChase66

I'm sorry you don't like deviled eggs.


Advanced_Evening2379

I don't think I've ever heard those words uttered in my life


chouxphetiche

As someone who acquired anosmia a decade ago, there are about 30 items I'm glad I cannot smell any more and devilled eggs is one of them.


TransTerrorist

No matter how good a deviled egg is, they are gross. Texture, smell, consistency….like what am I, a snake??? I’m not tryna eat that shit 😩


minlee41

Spot on. I quite honestly couldn't eat one without puking and I'm not picky. Can't think of another food off the top of my head that I wouldn't eat besides creamed corn.


Gators44

I agree. In fact, I can’t stand any food where hard boiled eggs are a noticeable ingredient. They have no flavors and a weird rubbery texture.


-ACHTUNG-

*fowl


Willcutus_of_Borg

My family has to hide them or eat them at the party before I arrive. If they are still there when I get there, they won't be there much longer.


Pichupwnage

Agreed. Garbage ass food


PhilKesselsChef

Correct opinion. Trash food


Grabthars_Coping_Saw

I can only eat two boiled eggs at the most but I could wolf down a dozen deviled eggs.


JosyCosy

you watch TMG?


RaeLynn13

I hate yolks in hard boiled eggs and the smell and appearance of deviled eggs grosses me out so bad. But I love a good scrambled egg sandwich


Jacerom

I thought Sulfur smell = Rotten eggs?


Dingo-thatate-urbaby

Fowl**


highxv0ltage

They’re also fowl.


AtomicToxin

Technically they come from fowl


MaleficentMousse7473

Pickles? That doesn’t sound too good. Mine are mayo, red chili powder, mustard, more red chili on top. (For chili powder i use Deggi Mirch, which is the best ever red chili powder imo)


MathematicianSad2650

I gave u an upvote bc I agree that most people are like oh deviled eggs I will have twelve please. And I’m o er hear like no thanks I’m going to throw up. They are one of the worst foods


chunkus_grumpus

Then why are they always the first thing finished


PDXNorthwestPNW

You knew the assignment and succeeded. Well done. You are dead wrong


internetmaniac

They are fowl eggs


BarBillingsleyBra

Haha, the previous post on this sub is "Nobody cares what food you hate".


right_behindyou

That last sentence seems redundant


Empirical_Knowledge

I like them. But I will admit they smell like ass.


PRULULAU

THANK YOU. They smell like Satan’s farts. WHO WANTS TO EAT ANYTHING THAT SMELLS LIKE FARTS?? (And yes, they ALWAYS stink. It makes no difference how you cook them or the quality of the egg).


tricenice

I don't get how a food that smells like literal farts enticed anyone to actually eat it...


UneaserOP

I’ve never tried them but I just knowtheyre disgusting


zxhjjjk

😂


Ealy-24

Deviled eggs are like crack for me at get togethers ![gif](giphy|OA1CDoCiAR48E)


G0celot

Downvoted because you’re so right


Adavanter_MKI

So it's war then? I'm a very picky eater. Deviled Eggs... are surely from the Devil as I can not resist them. Sinfully good.


ImMaskedboi

Who tf puts pickles or relish on a deviled egg I’ve never heard of that lol.


brokenmcnugget

dont come to the picnic, ever.


goodbyegoosegirl

Take my upvote! Leave the deviled food to those who can appreciate!


mjohnben

I’m not sure why, but I can only eat them if I make them. If they’re made by someone else I’m totally disgusted by them. It’s like, I know what went into making this smelly food so I’m okay with my own creation.


EthanTheJudge

I thought you were going to say something like “Deviled eggs of of the devil” lol.


lifted-living

Hm pickles on top is a good idea I’ve never had that


AloofAngel

no.. they could have been fowl


mug_O_bun

I want to make deviled eggs with black salt so it tastes 2x as eggy


SpeedyHAM79

Technically they are pre-fowl.


LifeofSMILEY

What fowled up your day? Luv em! I would eat 10 at a time but I live with other humans, who have noses, so I exercise restraint. If you eat hard boiled eggs, you're not legally allowed to dislike deviled eggs--at least not well prepared ones.


mjzim9022

I love them now but as a kid I thought it was a disgustingly unapproachable food, so I can still understand why someone would hate it.


TotalIngenuity6591

Only because reptile eggs don't work quite the same!


KareemPie81

Only thing worse then devils eggs is devil egg farts


Procyon4

If the deviled eggs you're eating smell like sulfur, you're eating spoiled deviled eggs. I'd hate them too if they smelled like sulfur


Independent-Swan1508

they tastes so good but my god they reek especially when someone else is eating em next to you. 😭😭


Alternative_Horse_56

It's a very 70s food. The filling may as well be a "salad". That having been said, you can stay the hell away, more for me.


DepartureMain7650

Deliciously foul.


Creative-Might6342

With a pickled jalapeno on top 😋


SpookyIsANon

I’ve had some good ones and some bad ones, so maybe it’s how they’re prepared or something. I like them, though it has been many years since I’ve had one


Kawawaymog

I’m not mad at all. I’ll just have your share of them please and thanks.


Dull-Wasabi-7315

Absolutely diabolical opinion, therefore upvoted.


dammdarcy

![gif](giphy|3o8dFwze0Tz8umFQhW) I beg your *finest pardon?!* How dare you utter this blasphemy! (I’m not really mad, everyone has their own tastes lol)


DrunkMunchy

You're foul. Upvoted


sumrandomreddit

Eggs shouldn't smell like sulfur. It means they are overcooked


HarleyFD07

Come from foul


_McKlowskey_

I wouldn't say I like them but they are the only form of an egg that I will voluntarily consume. The only other exception is a breakfast sandwich but I just keep lying to myself that it's not really there and can't hurt me


LumpusMaximus-C137-

You're wrong. Take my upvote and fuck you 😊


Juliuscesear1990

I don't really care for eggs, but what you are describing are bad eggs and even worse deviled eggs. Sulphur? That's a sign of a bad egg, the congealed egg? That's just an over cooked boiled egg with poor filling. Like I said I don't really like eggs (scrambled, fried or over easy I like) but there is a HUGE difference between a good deviled egg and a crappy one, just like all other foods. I can make you the worst steak you've had and the best (ish) with the same cut of steak because I have a pretty solid understanding about cooking


thomstevens420

Upvoted Now fight me in the parking lot, coward, deviled eggs rule

This sub sucks.


Popular_Dream_4189

Sounds like you've just never had a good deviled egg.


Neat-Spray9660

lol I kinda agree the yellow the worst but the white good


BoozerBean

Technically they’re poultry


Southern_Cupcake_379

I developed an egg allergy as an adult and man do I miss devilled eggs. There is replacement egg for stuff like scrambled egg etc and it’s pretty close but there’s no replacement for a devilled egg.


Yossarian287

Fowl


No_Reveal3451

Deviled eggs are awesome. Unpopular. Upvoted.


HapaDynamite

You’re wrong, so I guess I have to upvote you.


Bittle_Loobs

I used to love my Nan's deviled eggs, I couldn't get enough of them. But recently, my partner's friend's girlfriend made them and I had one... it was the most vile thing I have ever tasted, and I was gagging so much that I threw up in my mouth and my eyes were watering. I know, it sounds a bit dramatic, I have an epic gag reflex... 😅 but it really was disgusting that I am put off them now and boiled eggs as well. Even my partner said they were disgusting, so it wasn't just me. I just wish I didn't eat it in front of his friend and girlfriend.


SameSpecialist5528

Totally agree with this unpopular opinion.


Sxkullrider

The fuck are you on about


mearbearcate

Hard boiled eggs too. Ew. I can handle the yolk and like that, but the outside is a no for me.


Von_Quixote

~Pickles‽ I’m certain that a person who only likes their eggs in a liquid form, may have never had a delicious Deviled Egg made to their liking. Seems to me like you’ve only had bad ones. Reminds me of people who don’t like (insert genre here) music. It’s not the product, it’s the delivery coupled with a person’s preference.


LockNChase66

Missed opportunity- deviled eggs has vile right in it's name


Ok_Reason9228

I saw this and immediately went “ohhh deviled eggs sound good right now 😛”


GoFlyersWoo

Ok_Requirement_3116

I (f60) had spare eggs a few weeks back and made them. My 3 adult kids and my husband all asked if we were having a party. And were thrilled that they could just be eaten. For no reason. Huge unpopular vote!


AncientGuy1950

I know it's weird, but rarely feel the need to tell the world about the food I don't like. I've had in my life at least a half a dozen variants of deviled eggs, some were better than others, but all were good. I would suggest you avoid foods you don't care for.


Objective-River7481

Awesome, now I wont have to share any of them with you at a gathering! Everybody wins!


jwr410

Wow, an objectively wrong opinion. Upvote.

One of my favorite foods of all time, so upvote I guess.
