Uncle Bernie's Pickled Eggs

Hello Pickled egg fans.

You don't have to call me Uncle Bernie, but I gotta admit I do like it.

 

Firstly, rumour has it that I've had a moustache since I was eleven years old. In truth I was able to grow these full and bushy whiskers at the age of seven. In my middle teens due to the facial hair, I was able to partake in adult beverages in bars close to home. The first time I ever saw them, they were sitting on the counter at The Southwood Hotel, a giant jar of pickled eggs. On a dare, I bellied up to the bar and ordered one. Held it there between my thumb and pinky, I sniffed it. Then thought, “Why not. What could go wrong?” From that eggzact first bite, I was hooked.

 

Fast forward a few years later it was clear, pickled eggs became my favorite snack and I could find them in most old school pubs. Afterall, one can't live on beer alone.

 

As time went by, it became eggseptionally tougher to find a bar serving pickled eggs. So, one day, (I think it was a Tuesday), I decided to take the task into my own hands, and started making pickled eggs in my own kitchen. Dang, they were eggstreamly tasty.

 

As a busy millwright at Chrysler Canada, one must stay fortified. What better snack then a protein filled pickled egg? My coworkers eggreed and soon were asking me to brew them up a jar. Before I knew it, I was processing an eggstra 30 to 40 jars a month.

 

In 2022, after 31 years of service I retired. After a month with my feet up relaxin’ and getting mighty bored, I asked myself, “Hey Uncle Bernie, (it’s what I like to say when I talk to myself), what are you gonna do to keep yourself busy?” I figured I may as well put my 25 years Eggsperience to good use. I also concluded that the dinosaurs didn't have pickled eggs and look what happened to them, they became eggstinct.

 

I started back making pickled eggs again. I Couldn’t make them fast enough. My eggs became so eggceedingly popular with friends, family, strangers, and my former coworkers still wanted me to supply them by delivering jar to the turnstile gates. My hobby grew eggsponentially into a business. Soon they were available by the egg at the finest watering holes and by the jar at specialty markets in Windsor-Essex. And in 2024, a store front at The City Market in Walkerville where I process and sell them.
