pickled eggs
Vinegar-preserved hen product
Pickled eggs are hard-boiled eggs preserved in vinegar brine, often with spices, onions, or beet juice.
They're a traditional bar snack and pub food, sitting in large jars on countertops.
The pickling firms the texture and imparts a tangy, sometimes spicy flavor: He grabbed a pickled egg from the jar by the register.
