Chris,

You poor thing! I like a little bit of heat but those deviled eggs were a death trap. I hope they didn’t destroy every taste bud you have in your head. 🙂

Merry Christmas!

I’ve finally discovered pickled okra. They’re absolutely wonderful: So much so, my wife and I are going to make some homemade next season. She makes wonderful dilly beans and pickled green tomatoes and zucchini pickles.

I let my son-in-law and step-son make deviled eggs. They decided to up the ante and make the deviled eggs with hot pickled okra and a little Sriracha sauce. Those two play chicken with ghost pepper and scotch bonnet salsa. They turned my deviled eggs into little evil orbs of death. Sufficient to say, I may never be the same again. God bless.

Chris,

It looks like you made the transition to Southern living pretty easily. We’re a friendly bunch of people and love good food. So happy you decided to live amongst us. 🙂

I absolutely have to try this. Deviled eggs are a staple in our home, and when I was growing up as well. I have to confess, however, I’ve never had pickled okra. Shhhh! Don’t tell anyone, but I’m an escapee from New York City. We escaped in 2001, but we’ve only been in SC for about 8 years now. As I’ve told my southern friends, “You’ll be real thankful to have this straight shootin’ Yankee in the foxhole with ya’ when you see what’s comin’ over the ridge next… Bubba!” Suffice it to say, I’ve got more real friends in SC then I ever had in the 50 years in NY. They love my wife and I and, especially, my southern cookin’. 😉
I have to be careful of hot things. I’m Irish. We burst into flames real easy. I do love, however, a slice of Texas Original Sweet & Hot Jalapenos on my deviled egg. I’ve even diced them and added them to the mix. I’ve also been a glutton for punishment and have hit-up the eggs with a couple of shots of the ol’ “Creole Torpedo” (Franks Louisiana Hot sauce).
And yes, God don’t make no junk. Eat hearty, share it with friends, and above all, always give thanks. God bless.

I think it is written somewhere in the 10 commandments of Southern cuisine that stuffed or deviled eggs must be served at any festive function. I don’t think I have ever eaten a holiday dinner that they were not served. Like the okra touch Jackie!

After my first daughter was born we were having a reception after her baptism. I suggested deviled eggs on the menu and my mother who is a southern gal said, ” we can not have “devil”ed eggs, our minister quickly fixed the problem as he told us he always called them “angel eggs” for just that reason! I got a good chuckle reading your post!
