That was me for a long time. Brad Leone's kraut video pulled me out of the muck. I don't really like his public persona since but that one video changed the course of my diet.

I live in the US and have never seen a pickled egg on a shelf. Only recently heard about it once in a movie where a guy walks into a pub, asks for a pickled egg and something else and gets shot in the head. Forgot the movie, but thought it was weird he'd ask for a pickled egg in a pub. But then, I've never been in an English pub.

I'd need to eat one someone made before I decide to pickle an egg. I'd have to like eating it before anything - and I'm really skeptical. At the moment I'm day one of a three day fast, so naturally I'm doing much recipe reading.

I'll check the recipe echoes for pickled recipes.
