In the fridge they went.  I wrote the date on the top, and told the boy to keep his distance until I say they're done.  Harrumph.  Also a recipe winner.  (How can it go wrong?)

Pickled eggs used to be found in mant a bar in England, though not so 
much now.  I think they were generally in distilled (clear) vinegar 
though I understand some prefer malt vinegar.  They certainly would not 
have been in red wine vinegar. It wasn't generally available and would 
have been seen as too posh for the Public Bar.
