pickled egg
Pub jar snack
A pickled egg is a hard-boiled egg preserved in vinegar brine, often with spices, beet juice, or other flavorings.
They're a traditional bar snack in Britain and parts of the American South, typically stored in large jars on the counter: He fished a pickled egg out of the jar.
The pickling turns the whites rubbery and infuses them with a sharp, tangy flavor.
