I've never seen relish in deviled eggs. I've lived in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas - spent a lot of time visiting friends in Mississippi and Tennessee.It's a "Southern Belle" thang.![]()
Mayo, salt, pepper, a dash of vinegar (I thought that was the "devil" part of the deviled eggs - I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it) and some horseradish if I have it.
I've never seen relish in deviled eggs either. That ingredient surprises me.

To the OP, my cholesterol thanks you. I just asked Joe to make some deviled eggs because of this thread. MMMmmmmmmm....
I wonder how many of us are in that category now. I had no plans to make deviled eggs today. Then this thread got me thinking......... I have hard boiled eggs....... And guess what we had for breakfast.
I use Miracle whip, mustard salt and pepper and dill pickle juice. I don't like sweet pickles at all so would never use relish...
Some of these recipes sound good though. never thought of horseradish.. hummm that sounds good. I like a little bite. Might just have to try that.
