Deviled This article states that deviled is reffering to the spices used in preparation. The wiktionary definity does not associate spicy as a nessicary element of deviledness.
- Yes it does: "To grill with Cayenne pepper; to season highly in cooking, as with pepper." Rmhermen 22:39, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] So why are they "deviled"?
This entry doesn't state why they are called "deviled". I also remember eating Deviled Ham as a child. --24.249.108.133 20:39, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- From the article: ""Deviled" is in reference to the fiery spices (sometimes) added to make the egg stuffing. It's a word that goes back to the 18th century as a verb meaning to cook something with fiery hot spices or condiments." --skew-t 07:34, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Reliable source?
The very first sentence states "Deviled eggs or eggs mimosa are a common dish in France and the United States, but they actually originated in Rome according to the show The Secret Life Of.... ". I don't think a TV show is a reliable source for an encyclopedia (especially not in the very first sentence). I know nothing about the origin of deviled eggs, but maybe someone else can verify this. --BennyD (talk) 00:59, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
