Deviled tomatoes

The term “deviled” according to oxford dictionary means cooked with hot seasoning. Deviled the word was first used with food in the 18th century. It was only later in the 19th century it was used to describe spicy or zesty food. The main ingredients used are mustard and pepper.

A Victorian British breakfast dish is devilled kidney with kedgeree or kippers. (If you have read Barbra Cartland then you will remember reading kedgeree or kippers). Devilled kidney is made from lamb’s kidneys cooked in a spiced sauce, referred to as “devilling”. The devilling mixture is a concoction of Worcestershire sauce, mustard, butter, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper, the optional ingredient is curry powder. Some chicken sauce is also used in the sauce. But now it’s a supper-time dish.

Deviled eggs or Devilled eggs are the terms used in US and UK respectively. The other names for the deviled eggs are stuffed eggs, angel eggs, eggs mimosa, Russian eggs, dressed eggs, or picnic eggs. Hard-boiled eggs after shelling are cut in halves. The yolk is mixed with other ingredients the main ingredients being mayonnaise and mustard.

But then the list of devilled foods seems to be vast you have deviled ham, deviled crabs, deviled cabbage, deviled Brussel Sprouts, deviled food cake. Check it out here.
