The Devil’s in These Haikus

Tasty deviled eggs,

Been a thing since ancient times,

More than just mayo.

Travel back to Caesar,

In Ancient Rome they appear,

Feasting on eggs with spices,

Eighteenth century,

Spiced eggs named deviled, indeed,

A tongue-tantalizing treat.

English-speaking lands,

Deviled eggs they came to know,

But names varied too.

Mimosa in France,

Rellenos in Spanish tongue,

Eggs' names multiplied.

Time marched, eggs evolved,

Mayo, mustard joined the mix,

Deviled eggs, transformed.

Easy to make them,

Boil eggs, the remove the yolks.

Mix with mayo and mustard.

Fill egg whites with care,

Garnish, paprika works well.

Eat and live history.

They can be bougie,

Topped with caviar or truffles,

Super rich use gold leaf.

Haikus about Deviled Eggs,

Underappreciated

But, delicious.
