WHY ARE THEY CALLED DEVILED EGGS?

The first documented usage for the word “devil” as a culinary term dates back to 1786 when, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, it was used to describe a “(highly seasoned) fried or boiled dish.” By 1800, the term “deviling” caught on and was primarily used to refer to the process of making a spicy or condiment-laden dish.

But not everyone calls them deviled eggs. In many regions of the U.S., deviled eggs are commonly known as stuffed eggs, dressed eggs, salad eggs or even mimosa eggs.
