Buffalos Have Been Found to Lay Eggs!

Posted by on July 27, 2010

No, it is true! We found some last night at our friends’ house! 

We went there to celebrate their anniversary.  We had a wonderful meal, some of the best scetty sauce I’ve had in a long while, yummy poached brats in fresh herbs, an incredible salad full of all sorts of wonderful things and then these bizarre looking eggs that my friend pulled from her frig.  By the way, she’s a great cook, must be the neighborhood we grew up in eh?

But these eggs were the best egg treats I have ever eaten. Buffalos lay great eggs!  And they are really good with bleu cheese dressing.  My friend said she collected the eggs, boiled them up, cooled, then peeled them and put them in a simple refrigerator dish with Tabasco and red pepper flakes and set them in the frig for a day. 

Holy moly, these were awesome.  Just cook, peel, soak (sort of, they were not bobbing in fluid like pickled eggs, just a swirl of Tabasco in the bottom of the dish).  There was some bleu cheese dressing out for the salad so I put some on my second egg. 

Hey! this tastes just like those Buffalo wings… only better!  (I like the flavor of the wings but something about them keeps them from being a favorite food, a bit greasy and I did find some buffalo hair on a few). 

Well heck, I do believe that my friend found some rare eggs laid by some local buffalo!

Move over deviled eggs, one of my favorite egg treats, this is way too easy and so much better.  Yeah, I found some Buffalo Styled Deviled Egg recipes this morning, but the key word is styled, last night I found the real McCoy.  The thing about buffalo wings is, they are simple. Ya butcher a few buffalo, or have someone else do it for you, separate the wing from the body, or again, have somebody else do it, cook ’em, swish ’em in Tabascy sauce and eat.  Deviled eggs, the boil-peel-slice-slip-mash-doctor-mix-refill and then balance in a special dish sort, not so much. Not so easy.

I love deviled eggs, Bet and I love collecting deviled egg dishes.  And are, were, looking for more of them, ones that the whole dish is the little egg-supporting divots, instead of just around the edge, leaving the flat center for what?, I might ask!  We love it when good deviled eggs show up at our house in the hands of some other good cook.  (Stress on the good cook, because, yes, deviled eggs can be totally messed up and nasty.)  But for as much as Bet and I love them, and often have the aged-eggs necessary to pull off a good d-egg, we don’t make them.  Boiled eggs, yes, deviled, not so much.  Lots of tedious work.  These?  Way to easy for how good they are!

You just have to find a buffalo and collect their eggs.

More reason why these are true buffalo eggs and those …Styled Eggs are not?  When you find a buffalo wing and go to eat it, do you not have to dip it in the bleu cheese?  Yeah, that is what I thought.  Those Styled Eggs, they are just chicken eggs, boiled, sliced, slipped, mashed, bleu cheese added with other ingredients, restuffed and then called Buffalo Styled Deviled Eggs.  That’s right, you’re just a styled egg.  I found the real deal!

But if you find these eggs, you will need to send my friend an initial royalty fee, then you can find them to your hearts content.  I’m thinkin’ the fee is about ten bucks a household.  I’ll collect the royalties for her, since I was the one who told you all about how she found them and where you can find them too.

    Lanny: I had some buffalo wings yesterday so they must also fly and lay eggs. That makes them seem to be bird like.

    Lanny, we always put carrot sticks in that flat part in the middle of the deviled egg dish. Of course, everyone just eats the eggs and leaves the carrots behind. HA HA HA! :-)

    I was afraid you had switched up meadow muffins for buffalo eggs! Glad I read the rest of this very clear, lucid and logical article – don’t think I will be making buffalo eggs anytime soon – the chickens would be so jealous

    Hi Lanny, I have just decided that you must have zero taste buds..burned away by the tabasco..
    The last time I ate dem deviled eggs was after a Minnesota/Iowa snowstorm..we were to have visited this little old lady in the evening..but on account of da snow doncha know it held us up a bit den. We arrived in da morning at 6AM, the only ting she had prepared for us was da deviled eggs and egg nog..oh Lordy did I have an iffy stomach after dose two belly ache makers ..because you cannot refuse food from da little old ladies:)
