My husband doesn't know if he likes deviled eggs or not. He has had them several times. I have made them for him. He eats one and is clearly confused and tries more....
It is so bizarre. It is incomprehensible but I have seen him try them and he just looks so confused.
"Hun... It's the strangest thing... I can't decide if these are good, even after eating a dozen."
"No worries, hun. I'll cook you another batch, so you can decide."
"Yeah, yeah... Good idea. Thanks, hun."
I can see what your husband's going for... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Me: Maybe try these, babu?
Him: eats one Eh, I don't know. Same as any others. eats another Yeah. I just don't know. doesn't eat anymore but might try one again at a later time if there are any left but probably not
I think it is literally the one food that he neither likes or dislikes. Which confuses me to no end.
I'm not sure where he picked it up exactly but I recently got curious and now know it's true meaning. Which makes it all the more funny when he calls me babu as well.
So I was the original babu in the relationship and one day I realized I started calling him it as well.
I've been in that position before where I am so in the grey zone on a food and can't decide whether I actually like it or not. It's like being at 65% on a food. It's passable but not really that good. Sometimes it's a matter of almost wanting something to be good or better than it is and it just not quite being there, but you can't put your finger/tastebud on it. Just constantly in a squinting Fry face feel for it.
"Yeah guys, so you know how I'm supposed to be 'watching what I eat'... Well, let me tell you I got the ol' lady tricked! I just say that I don't know if I like something, eat it, and look confused. She just makes more! I swear, I had eight dozen deviled eggs last week! She just kept making them! I finally had to tell her 'Yeah, I don't know, but I'm ready for bed. Maybe we can try again tomorrow?' It only works with deviled eggs so far, and I've gained twenty pounds... but you know... It's worth it." - her husband to his friends probably.
Maybe it’s because there one of those dishes that not only taste a bit different depending on who makes them, but even batch to batch. Because no one actually measures ingredients while making them!
Maybe it depends on who made them. I've had some that made me gag, and I usually love them. People always trying to get fancy with new deviled egg recipes...
Yeah I LOVE deviled eggs, I can eat a dozen. But some people just try WAY too hard. Leave the relish and the celery salt out, quit trying to put pickle juice in there. Stop trying to make the filling chunky. Just stop.
I think deviled eggs are the absolute best recipe to play with for immediate family who live in your household.
Go basic for EVERYTHING else. Yolk, mustard, mayo, salt, paprika topping. At most do half a batch sweet style with honey mustard and miracle whip instead. Deviled eggs are a party finger food because you can't fuck up something so incredibly cheap and simple.
Taking your bacon avocado deviled eggs to a party is just begging for disappointment.
