The same reason why you don't simply eat boiled meat, but mainly eat it in a stew/soup.
It's not exactly a flavor town experience with boiled meat, innit?
I think it's weird to eat a dozen deviled eggs in one sitting.
Right, you don't sit when you eat deviled eggs, you are at a party, mingling so no one notices when you grab that 12th one.
you can have (well, used to) eggs anytime.. fried, boiled, scrambled, omelets, poached--whatever. but gram's special deviled eggs were for 'special occasions' only. she always made enough, so yea. gonna eat far more eggs that way than i ever would in a normal breakfast or meal.
Also, deviled eggs are usually put out at a festival. Gunning down six eggs at a 6 am breakfast is gluttony. Noshing on a dozen deviled eggs over the course of an evening is not grotesque.
Sounds like a Seinfeld standup intro
So its unusual that I think scarfing down a dozen devilled eggs would be a bit much?
Trying to change up what type of eggs you have 4 dozen of everyday, Gaston?
If someone eats 3 sandwiches, they were hungry.
If someone eats 6 slices of plain bread, theyβre weird.
Sounds like Gaffigan
What's even weirder is how full you feel eating 6 hard boiled eggs, but not if you eat the equivalent 6 deviled eggs.
Truly, I scramble six eggs in a go, but six boiled eggs feels like a whole feast somehow.
Yolk composition theory. Fullness depends entirely on the composition of the yolk.
Why would anyone do this apart from hating prunes and needing a constipation remedy?
