Deviled Eggs
- -Deviled meaning spiced. Also known as stuffed eggs. Boiled, seasoned eggs date as far back as Roman times, supposedly served to guests at the beginning of a meal. Stuffed eggs would be popular in Europe since then. This recipe, which contemporaries may be very well familiar with, probably isn't a very old recipe, considering that mayonnaise wasn't invented until the 18th century at the earliest.
