One time in West Virginia I was part of a group that was trying to arrange a social event for our local union. Everything was going great 'til someone said they were bringing deviled eggs. There was an immediate negative reaction from some folks. They didn't think that it was proper to to call anything good after the devil and they objected to the union advertising anything that mentioned the devil. We talked it out and agreed that the dish would be called "Eggs in Torment."
This is a popular Serbian American dish called "Deviled Eggs Mihajlov," but don't tell my old friends in West Virginia.
Hard boil some eggs and scoop out the yolks. Some folks like to dye the eggs or soak them in beet juice or that red dye that comes with those hot sausages in bars, but that isn't necessary. Put the yolks in a bowl and add some salt and pepper, some sweet relish, maybe a lit bit of flaked chili pepper, mayonnaise, milk, and whatever kind of mustard you like that will go with your relish.
I'm not giving amounts because everyone likes to do it their way, and that's fine.
Mix everything up and fill the cooked egg whites with the mix. This tastes great if served cool.
