I'm glad that your pickled eggs are a success, Bob!
In England, yes. Pickled Eggs were a pub food before every pub become a gastropub, a mainstay of chip shop extras and snack of choice for people who are now in the 60 to 80yr age bracket.But. Like, didn't every corner store, gas station, bar, and golf club have a jar of pickled eggs and another jar of pickled sausages sitting beside the cash register between 1970 and 1990
Buy a small jar of pickled beets. Throw out the beets, if you don't want to ever eat them. Store the beet pickle juice in the fridge as a pH insensitive dye. And the pickle flavor is nice. Consider it a culinary investment.
[Actually, a baby, pickled beet on top of a salad, and doused in the glue of your choice, might be something to try.]

+1 on the cilantro. I can’t stand to be in the same room with it, much less eat it, the aftertaste lasts for days and the front taste was awful. My wife loves it unfortunately.You cannot lure me to the dark side, even with cookies. I grew up in a beet loving family, and have tried them in many forms. They have a flavor compound in them that I am sensitive to, and it makes them smell & taste awful to me. So they are on my NO list, right next to cilantro and tequila. On the other hand, I readily chow down on all other veggies.
