duggarfam/Instagram, So Yummy
Everyone knows that when you name a snack food after the Prince of Darkness, you’re summoning him into your home and allowing him to ravage your heart. For this simple reason, you must rename your deviled eggs to “yellow pocket angel eggs.” This way, you’ll be showing those eggs who is the real boss of your soul.
So who is responsible for this genius rebranding? Why, it’s from the family who brought you “chicken chests” (you know, because chicken breasts are offenisve), of course: The Duggar family, stars of the reality show 19 Kids and Counting. They’re devoutly Christian, so it makes sense (right?) — but what doesn’t make sense is why the name is so damn clunky. Yellow pocket? Angels?
In an Instagram post, Michelle Duggar inspired a massive internet debate when she shared a pic of her kids making the oh-so-yummy eggs for Easter. And without acknowledging how ABSOLUTELY BIZARRE what she was saying was, she simply writes,
“You know ‘deviled’ is the technique and has nothing to do with ‘the Devil’, right? They’re [a] homonym,” said one person.
Some folks agreed with Michelle’s clunky snack nickname, however: “I love the name! Why give the devil any more popularity when his works already run rampant in our society. (Just sayin).”
You can make deviled ham, which is a ham salad with cayenne pepper. It can also come from a can (which might look gross), but it’s actually pretty good:
Deviled shrimp is often made with roasted tomatoes, garlic, chipotle, and shrimp. It’s a favorite.
Okay — so what about devil’s food cake? Yeah, this one’s not spicy. It’s just a play on angel food cake, which apparently came first.
Devil’s food cake is actually a super-duper lush chocolate cake. Its good and not-evil brother is the angel food cake, which is spongey and made with egg whites, flour, and sugar (you know, all the ingredients that won’t send you to hell).
Are deviled egg-loving people all over the world contributing to social evils and religious sacrilege? It’s not for us to decide. What do you think?
