Deviled Eggs - Pasta or what?

Question

There's a recipe on Chow for Deviled Eggs - the picture with it is not making any sense to me

What are the thingamajiggies that look like pasta? Or is it the yolk stuff forced thru some kind of squeezee thing?

?

Little bit strange that there are so many comments about the recipe and the picture accepted 'as is.'

Or maybe I have my glasses on backwards

Answer

agree…egg yolk mixture has been pipe with a flat tip. i've seen star-tipped piping done, but most often, i just see mounds (put in the cooked white half with a spoon).

Answer

Me thinks it's the wrong picture. Also if you click on the slideshow, there is no #1, but there is a #12 of 11. Or maybe my glasses are on backwards too. :-)

Answer

I go along with piping assumptions. However, there's an ingredient missing from the recipe. Where's the ground chile (made from dried hot peppers) powder? There's not even mild paprika! Some form of capsicum needs to be included to mark it 'DEVILED.'

Answer

Thanks for all the responses - and as I said, I suspected 'piping' - but the recipe itself seems ro be in conflict with that idea:

"Fill each egg-white half with 1 heaping teaspoon of the yolk mixture, rounding the tops with a spoon"

How in heck do you 'round the tops' of piped filling?

How about it being simply whacko - and yes - I too started to see a PLATE!

Answer

yea, its piped.
I have taken to bringing filling in a zip lok baggie and snipping the corner and filling the eggs on site, since I make deviled eggs for picnics and pot lucks mostly.

Never EVER use Miracle Whip. EVER! that would be considered cruel to unsuspecting guests. ugh.

Answer

the egg just looks strange because it is a close-up photo, and the filling was piped with a pastry bag fitted with the kind of tip that would make a ribbon with icing.
