International Egg Recipe #7: A few more ingredients

Alaska:

Most restaurants that serve breakfast will always have egg options (omelets, scrambled with ___, etc.) that include either salmon cakes or reindeer sausage — products that are popular here and are harvested here.

Phillippines:

In the Philippines, there is what we call "itlog na maalat" (meaning, salty egg), also known as "itlog na pula" (meaning, red egg — since it is dyed red to distinguish it from the regular egg).  It is prepared by getting an egg and curing it in a saturated salt solution for about 2 weeks or so, then boiling it.  It is usually eaten by Filipinos for breakfast together with fish sauce, chopped tomatoes and onions and fried rice.

Many people think this recipe as indigenously Filipino, but it actually has Chinese origins. We normally purchase ready-to-eat salted eggs in supermarkets and market stalls, as this recipe takes a lot of time to prepare.

Jamaica:

Scrambled eggs covered in hot pepper sauce and green onions.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, tasty!

Connecticut:

Here is a recipe for my mother’s Deviled Eggs.

Hard boil the eggs, half them and take out all the yolks. To the yolks add Miracle Whip, mustard, salt, pepper, and I believe she adds a small amount of pickle juice? Mix it up and spoon mixture back into the whites and chill. Pretty common recipe but she uses Miracle whip instead of the more common mayonnaise. She also spices it up sometimes with horseradish.

Columbia:

Locally there's a lot of egg and chicken consumption:

For breakfast it is usual to have hard boiled eggs on the street, fried eggs at home. It's usual here to add chopped tomatoes, peppers and onions to scrambled eggs... that's the tradition.

Another favourite is potato salad with lots of eggs, carrots, onions, peas, mayo and beets all diced and served chilled.

As for desserts, the use is pretty straight forward…flans, mousses, etc... and are served mainly in restaurants.

For drinks over the holidays, it's eggnog, but I know that in other countries like Perú or Chile the popular local drink, Pisco Sour, is egg based.
