Christmas Special Appetizer: Fallout 3 – Yum Yum Deviled Eggs
After the complication of a trio of recipes for last weeks post, I felt something from a simpler time was needed. A time when women were women, men were quite possibly all exactly like Don Draper and mutants were mutants. Christmas is often hailed as the tackiest holiday thanks to gaudy decorations and glitter, but this also makes it the most retro. Apart from making my starter a prawn cocktail, deviled eggs come in as more of the American classic of yesteryear and Fallout 3 just happens to be full of these strange, vintage consumables. In the interest of safety I’ve removed all rads and rehydrated the eggs for your dining pleasure.
This recipe serves 6.
What you will need: A pot, a bowl and a spoon.
Ingredients:
6 Large Eggs
3 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
½ Teaspoon Mustard
Salt & Pepper
Garnish
- Paprika
- Fresh Parsley
- Sliced Spring Onion
Making the Deviled Eggs:
- Boil the eggs in a large pot of water for 6-10 minutes to make sure they’re hard. Remove the eggs and leave them to cool in a pot of cold water for 15 minutes.
- Carefully peel the shell off and slice the eggs in half lengthways.
- Remove the yolks and put them in a bowl, add the mayonnaise, mustard, salt & pepper and mix well until creamy.
- Using a spoon (or an icing bag for that added retro touch), fill the eggs back up with the yolk filling.
- Arrange artfully on a plate, garnish with the paprika, parsley and spring onion, then serve.
Fallout 3 sparked a kind of hysteria in me that seems to appear any time I play a Bethesda game; I distinctly remember collecting bottle caps from nights out (possibly trying to pay for cabs home with them) and sharing bobby-pins from my hair with people, explaining why they would need them before they awkwardly all gathered at the opposite end of the bar – I was, in a word, obsessed. Making these Yum Yum Deviled Eggs has made me rather excited to catch-up on my ever growing backlog of games over the Holidays and play Fallout: New Vegas. And if there’s one food that could survive a nuclear disaster, it probably is a deviled egg.
