Pickled quail egg safety.

[Gbkeith]

Let’s say somebody bought a jar of pickled quail eggs and Jalepenos at a gas station Thursday and then forgot it in their truck without opening it. Let’s further say that the temps have been around 100 and probably higher than that inside the truck. Now let’s say this somebody is hungry and just remembered they’re out there. Are they still good?

I'd probly eat em. Is the jar still sealed?

 

[Will12785]

Still good

 

[JR4X]

Being pickled and unopened previously. I’d still eat em.

 

[crispins]

Fine to eat

It was until I opened it and ate a couple right before I started this thread.

I just ate leftover beef stroganoff that had been left in the trunk for 30 hours. Not dead yet.

You think they ship them refrigerated to the store from the dc? They are fine but dibs on your shit.

The lady drives there with a shitload of jars in coolers in the back of a suburban. Pickled okra and quail eggs and, well, pickles.

Roll your own, if'n you can get the eggs.

2 dozen fit perfect in one of these jars with the original juice; just replace the peppers with the eggs:

This is the kind of information I came to this place for. How long do they have to be in there to pickle?

I like to let eggs pickle for at least week. The longer the better. I have some jalapeno eggs that have sat for months. I still eat them and I'm not dead.

I received a jar of said eggs from a local market for Christmas from my kids.
In January.

Still ate, not dead. Ymmv.

My main concern was that it was 110 degrees out in the truck and they were sitting with the sun shining through the windshield onto them. But I ate some and I’m fine so far.

I've been buying those $7/lb gas station steaks in the morning and leaving them on my dashboard until I get hungry enough to cook them, few hours in the sun doesn't seem to be doing them any bad.

Don’t you live in the arctic with salt rusting everything out? Salted meat keeps a long time. Especially in the cold.

I just thought of something because of that. Now I’m going to go fuck with arse in his thread.

explain please.

I have never had that and love hard boiled eggs

You guys know that pickling existed long before refrigeration right? Like for thousands of years?

Food spoils due to oxidation and the bacteria that thrive in said oxygen and nutrient-rich environment. Refrigeration slows that process but doesn't eliminate it (this is why food still spoils/molds in da fridge). Deep freezing, vacuum-bagging, canning, salting, sugaring, drying, oh and pickling all keep those nasty little microbes at bay.

I personally do not like/enjoy pickled eggs but as long as the jar wasn't cracked open until you did so, they would be fine for, well, ever. Once opened, I would recommend getting them into the ice box.

Oh, and sorry Gbkeith:

 

[Aggie06]

You dead yet?

It’s not like you’re grabbing a pickled hogs foot out a of jar that has been sitting on a counter in a gas station for the past 3 decades.

I suggest the gas-station sushi next. They are usually parked next to the hot-dogs that have been turning long enough to be sizzled down to a slimjim
