Finally got why people like pickled eggs, took 3 tries

Kept gagging on the vinegar bite until I tried a batch from a deli in Cleveland that had been sitting for 6 months. The harshness mellowed into something almost creamy, and now I can't stop putting them on salads. Anyone else need that many attempts before a weird snack clicked for you?

wait, have you tried warming them up before eating? i was stuck on the vinegar punch too until i nuked a pickled egg for like 10 seconds and the whole flavor changed, it got this weird savory depth that made the cold ones taste like battery acid to me now. took me way longer than 3 tries though, i think i was on attempt 6 before i figured out the temperature thing. also, the creamy texture you mentioned, that really kicks in when they sit longer in the brine, like the protein breaks down or something. anyways, next time you hit a weird food, try messing with the temp before you give up on it.
