The World Pickled Egg Championships, takes place every year at the Aldeburgh Food & Drink Festival in Suffolk and in 2013 should really have been called it a world championship as they had entries from the US!

They are or were when l lived in Suffolk called "three dimensional farts" and with ample reason. The thing about your pickled egg is that they have very little in common with an ordinary boiled egg. They are dry in texture and induce thirst which requires quenching with ale. Whereas your bog standard boiled version one needs a pinch of salt and some buttered toast. Both types are admirable in their own way , just do not get them confused at the bar or the breakfast table !

Friday night in the local, I presume.

Think hen parties have moved on since then though.

When did you last see a hen laying a hard boiled egg, that had been shellled and pickled when layed?

Our resident Yorkshireman got it wrong

TBH Ive never actually watched a hen laying any sort of egg.
But if its in Cornwall or Yorkshire, hard boiled and pickled with mayo on would not surprise me

And brown sauce to keep Welshie happy?
