Talk:Pickled egg

Olestra
Seriously, if olestra can have an "In popular culture" section then the pickled egg article deserves one as well. Delete Olestra's along with this one if you must, otherwise it seems like selective enforcement. Holme053 (talk) 21:38, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

In the U.K pickled eggs are dipped in broken potato crisps as a special bar treat.

Since when? I live in England and have never ever come across this (and I've visited many pubs!)

I have had a pickled egg served in bag of ready salted crisps. I think it might be Midlands thing.151.170.240.200 (talk) 15:12, 21 July 2016 (UTC)


 * It is certainly a regional preference. I've not tried it myself but have seen others order it in pubs and the bar staff haven't batted an eyelid. I sometimes eat my home made pickled eggs along with a bag of crisps, but not in the same bag! --Roly (talk) 16:21, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Pop culture
Well, maybe... but the Pokemon defence is generally not supported.

Why does every article need a "cultural references" section?165.123.139.232 (talk) 22:24, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

because homer simpson even drinks the saltwater —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.78.45.213 (talk) 12:56, 2 January 2009 (UTC) exactly, we need this just for homer and his drinking habits.

=Pickeled egg farts= Recommitted line regarding noxiousness of emissions. It's a well known and often discussed aspect of pickled egg consumption and is not vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Litch (talk • contribs) 13:14, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Do you have a better citation for this "fact" than what is provided then? I only have anecdotal experience having made pickled eggs myself for several years, but I have never encountered this or heard of it. If you have a better citation than "yahoo answers" then sure keep it. Otherwise it really strikes me as something that has just been made up. I'm not going to remove it though, since I'm not signed in and I don't really have any experience other than anecdotal. Anybody else have thoughts on this? -- May 8, 2009 76.234.137.210 (talk) 20:54, 8 May 2009 (UTC)Harin_Teb On second thought, and after reading the citation, its pretty clear that this "fact" is vandalism. I'm gonna go ahead and remove it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.234.137.210 (talk) 21:02, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * This is not vandalism simply because it broaches on a subject you are too juvenile to discuss like an adult. Will add more links since you are too lazy to google them yourself. Litch (talk) 23:15, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll try. For some people, at least, it's the sulfur content and the proteins in the egg yolk (see also, Hollandaise sauce) that provoke the negative digestive consequences.  The pickling has little to do with it, though steeping the eggs in a jar of vinegar with garlic and cayenne peppers hardly improves matters.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.61.164.169 (talk) 06:17, 17 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Perhaps we could take the high road and make a section called Digestive side effects or somesuch. that would permit us to use more encyclopedic language than "fart" which is slang.  We are supposed to avoid the use of slang in articles since different readers call the expellation of intestional gas by other names, such as "breaking wind".  If we go that route, we can please the users who want it included and avoid the appearance of vandalism.  Does this offer a good compromise?LiPollis (talk) 07:01, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Low language it may be, but just for the record, "fart" is not at all slang. The dictionary shows the verb been with us since the days of old English. The noun is a relative newcomer, in use just since the 14th century. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.240.34.255 (talk) 04:11, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

refrigeration
from: http://www.uga.edu/nchfp/how/can_06/pickled_eggs.html

Storing Eggs

After making the eggs, the eggs require some time to season (i.e., pick up the flavors from the pickling brine). Keep them refrigerated at all times. If small eggs are used, 1 to 2 weeks are usually allowed for seasoning to occur. Medium or large eggs may require 2 to 4 weeks to become well seasoned. Use the eggs within 3 to 4 months for best quality.

I believe the line (in the article) that says "They are also popular with campers because they do not require refrigeration once they have been prepared." should be removed, and a reference to the above should be made. --Jehan60188 (talk) 14:22, 21 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Just because there can be food safety issues with home pickled eggs doesn't mean that they have to be refrigerated. There are commercially produced shelf stable pickled eggs readily available in both the US and UK. Also many people produce pickled eggs at home and do not refrigerate them without ill effects. Botulism poisoning is very rare in the US. Weetoddid (talk) 00:43, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I've been pickling eggs for many years and I never refrigerate them - before or after - and I'm still alive. I usually store them for at least 12 months at room temperature before eating. (I don't get pickled egg farts either).--Roly (talk) 15:04, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Removal of Reference to Botulism Poisoning Due to Relevance
If you read the citation, it was a one off occurence related very likely due to something the person who was infected did or improper preparation of the eggs. This is not something that will happen if the eggs are prepared properly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.187.51.0 (talk) 00:24, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
