If I had to choose my least favorite food it would most definitely
be deviled eggs, should be illegal. I never eat them when served, I
don't like anyone futzing with my egg yolks... seeing them served
ruins my appetite... makes me wonder what else was so grotesquely
futzed with. I like hard boiled eggs but I shell them myself. I'll
typically boil a carton of 18 eggs but it sits in the fridge for us to
help ourselves, we both like sliced egg sammiches. Deviled eggs
remind me of pooped diapers... deviled eggs belong flushed down the
toilet. I consider serving deviled eggs an insult... clean your own
brat's poopy diapers. When someone says deviled eggs I expect to see
a big jar of beet juice dyed pickled eggs, we both like those too.
