Why do lots of people find it bizarre for someone to eat 6 boiled eggs in one sitting but not 12 devilled eggs and in one sitting?

I have to go, but here's some books you might like.
If you like Neil Gaiman, look up Tanith Lee. Gaiman admits that she was his inspiration, and he stole a lot of his best ideas from her. "Night's Master" is about a demon prince who travels the world seducing and/or tormenting humans.
Alan Furst's "Night Soldiers" is a WW2 era spy story that reads like a cross between Ian Fleming and Franz Kafka. A young Bulgarian fisherman becomes radicalized after fascists curb stomp his kid brother. He travels to Moscow and becomes a KGB agent in the Spanish Civil War.
Colson Whitehead has two books about a 1960s Harlem fence. "Harlem Shuffle" and "The Crook Manifesto." Reading them is like hanging out in a smoky barroom listening to some OG's talking about life in the 1960s and 1970s.
Enjoy!
I'll add these authors to my reading list. Thanks for the recommendations!

Well, that amount of deviled eggs is weird.
That being said, there's some differences involved.
Moisture, size, seasoning, and chewability.
Deviled eggs have the dryest part removed and moistened. This makes eating two of them easier than the whole egg would be.
With the addition of moisture comes the ability to chew the result easier, so you don't look like an idiot while eating. You don't have to take a bite and roll it around your mouth while trying to get it into small enough pieces, mixed with saliva so you can swallow.
The seasoning comes in by making it taste like something you want to savor, to keep in your mouth longer.
And, since they're half an egg, they can be popped in all at once, or in two clean bites, without spilling fragments. In either case, you aren't sitting/standing/dancing/masturbating holding a partly eaten egg in your hand as long. This means that it looks like you're eating less than you are, even when having the equivalent of a half dozen eggs. So it doesn't register as someone eating six eggs, it registers as someone snacking casually.
I love your unneccessarily long explaination, and agree fullheartedly!

I'm firmly in the both are a bit much camp.

I'm glad you didn't see me eat 136 deviled eggs
Not as glad as I am.

If someone eats 3 sandwiches, they were hungry.
If someone eats 6 slices of plain bread, they’re weird.
I used to eat slices of white bread as a snack

What's even weirder is how full you feel eating 6 hard boiled eggs, but not if you eat the equivaleny 6 deviled eggs.
6 deviled eggs are made from 3 hard boiled eggs, so it's half the amount of food.

I'd go so far as to say I think it's weird when people eat any amount of deviled eggs.
@[email protected] I was going to say more than 2 deviled eggs but you also make a good point haha

Why would anyone do this apart from hating prunes and needing a constipation remedy?
Going on a long road trip, gotta load up on Sulphur to delight the other passengers

What I meant by equivalent was the equivalent of 6 eggs.

The same reason why you don't simply eat boiled meat, but mainly eat it in a stew/soup.
It's not exactly a flavor town experience with boiled meat, innit?

Lol, sometimes

I got into eating boiled eggs last year when I was on a diet as it was the easiest snack, and nobody found it weird.
I guess when you take out an egg and peel it, a smell comes off, but it doesn't in already peeled devilled eggs?
