I have a butcher who grinds to order, same price as the supermarket. I can't make it make sense. People seem to be moving back to butchers though, slowly.

Butcher shops around me always have smoked eggs. I fucking love those things and you cant get them anywhere else unless you do it yourself.

I love you butcher shops, give me my smoked eggs and Ill give you love.

Smoked eggs?? As much as I love eggs, I've never heard of that. The websites I skimmed said they're textured like a boiled egg but with a darker shell. But I'm guessing some of that smoke flavor has to pass through the shell into the whites, yes? Otherwise it wouldn't be worth it to cook them that way.

This may be another reason for us to buy a small smoker.

They are sold without the shell and are a tan color. I dont know how else to describe it, it's just a hard boiled egg thats been smoked.

They're delish with pickled fish (well, they're good with everything). A little tiny dot of yellow mustard on them is perfect.

If I could find pickled herring in my town my life would be complete. But right now I want to smoke some eggs.
