 If you're frying up some eggs and bacon – lucky you! Some folks in the path of Hurricane Sandy weren’t so fortunate. CNN’s Impact Your World has a great list of ways to get resources to people who need it. Meanwhile, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday. Speak of the devil, November 2 is National Deviled Egg Day! If you're in the South, you’d be hard-pressed to attend any celebration and NOT see a tray of deviled eggs being passed around. Despite being considered as Southern as biscuits and gravy, deviled eggs are actually European - Ancient Roman to be exact. To this day, variations of this egg dish are eaten across the continent in places like Sweden and Hungary. Nowadays, deviled eggs are often found on the menus of fancier establishments with additions like lobster or pork belly. |

I like to mince radishes into mine.
Gross. Mayonnaise is disgusting.
I think salad dressing (miracle whip) is even more disgusting. Is there a substitute for mayo/salad dressing?
Mayo is the Devil's condiment.
I lived in Muenster, Germany for two years. It was one of the last cities to hold out against the Nazi regime. In spite, the men "drafted" were sent to the Russian front. There is great animosity between the Muensterlaender and the Russians.
In German, the eggs are called "Russische Eier" (Russian eggs). When I explained to my friends that they are called "deviled eggs" in English, they laughed themselves silly for a half hour.
History, language and food can be extremely entertaining (no pun intended).
