デビルドエッグの成り立ちと、各国のアレンジなど。とても読みやすい記事でした。
アメリカでこんなに一般的に食べられてるのは知らなかったな。
moreish
意味 (英· くだけて) もっと食べたくなるほどおいしい.
Deviled eggs are a classic American dish. Bite-sized, spicy, and deliciously moreish, they’re served all across the U.S. as hors d’oeuvres, on party buffets, and, of course, at picnics. Because it’s so simple to slice a boiled egg in two, make a spiced filling from the yolk, and refill the remaining halves, there’s plenty of room for variation, adding personal twists, regional ingredients, and customizing your eggs according to tastes.

アメリカ料理の中の卵って、フライされて挟まれてるイメージが強かったな。
excuse
意味 ＜…するための＞ （偽の） 言い訳, 言い逃れ, 口実 ＜to do＞
But they can be eaten at any time of year, and the start of summer is an excellent excuse to try out a few recipes and practice making a plate or two of them to carry when going to potluck parties, particularly if you’ll be dining al fresco. With a little flair, deviled eggs can make an eye-catching addition to any buffet table. In doing so, whether you know it or not, you’ll be taking part in a surprisingly long tradition!

パーティーの予定一生ないんだけどw確かに持ち寄りや立食の場で輝いてそう！指でつまめるしね！ゆで卵最強！
trove
意味 ＝treasure trove.貴重な発見 [発見物]; （知識などの） 宝庫; (英) [法] （所有者不明の） 埋蔵物.
The best example of one of these ancient platters (shown in the image above) was found as part of the Hildesheim Treasure, a trove of Roman silverware unearthed in Germany. It has much the same kind of design as the egg platters that became popular during the 20th century. While this silver plate may be nearly two millennia old, it wouldn’t look out of place in an American family home today.

condiment
意味 [C] (かたく)[通例～s]調味料, 香辛料, 薬味 (塩· こしょう· からし· ケチャップなど).
The stuffed eggs eaten centuries ago in Spain were similarly made from halved, boiled eggs, and the yolks were mixed together with cilantro, onion juice, black pepper, oil, and salt. They also used an ingredient that can no longer be found — murri, a Medieval Arab condiment made with fermented barley.

hellish
意味 (くだけて) ものすごくいやな, むかつく, 恐ろしい.
At the time, it was used for its hellish connotations, referring to foods that were made with hot spices — but also sometimes to foods prepared by either frying or broiling. In the case of deviled eggs, the name most certainly referred to the spices, with mustard long being a popular ingredient in early recipes, and cayenne pepper often included too.

香辛料が多く使われていた→辛い→hellみたいに辛い→devilに繋がるのか！私もハバネロやカラシでゆで卵食べるの大好きなので親近感！
It is no coincidence that …
意味 …は偶然 (の出来事) ではない
It’s no coincidence that deviled eggs are so popular in the Southern states of the U.S. That’s seemingly where the modern dish was first served. The oldest known recipe for the deviled eggs we all recognize was from Alabama, where it was reportedly first published in a local newspaper, the Montgomery Adviser, in the summer of 1877.

この言い回しほんといい加減定着させたい…。
function
意味 [C] （社交的） 行事, 催し, 式典, 儀式
After the recipe was popularized in the Southern states, it started to find its way around to other parts of the U.S. The next year, the recipe appeared in newspapers in Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin too. Perhaps ironically, despite the devilish name, the dish became particularly popular at church functions like picnics and suppers.

この逸話も面白い。レシピが新聞に載って各地に広まるって、媒体が変わっただけで今も昔も同じだなあ。
flamboyant
意味 〈性格· 行動などが〉派手な, 華々しい, （自信に満ちて） 大胆な; 〈服装などが〉派手な, 人目を引く.
For those who want to try something more unusual, differently styled eggs can spice things up even more, particularly if you feel brave enough to attempt one of the recipes from historic cookbooks. But, while flamboyant, it isn’t essential to be quite so adventurous.
