The Grammy-winning rapper takes snack time seriously.
Doechii’s Favorite Snack Is Really Specific—Have You Ever Tried It?
Published on Jun. 13, 2025
Doechii is currently taking the world by storm. Her album Alligator Bites Never Heal won Best Rap Album at this year’s Grammy Awards. She’s only the third woman in Grammy’s history to take home the prize, after Lauryn Hill in 1997 and Cardi B in 2019. Her Tiny Desk Concert at NPR Studios is one of the best from the series, and I constantly turn it on for some background noise and then end up watching the whole thing.
The 26-year-old rapper is from Tampa, Florida, and her “swamp princess” moniker is central to her aesthetic. When she isn’t recording viral hits like “Anxiety” she is taking her snack time very seriously. She doesn’t reach for alligator bites—even though they sound delicious. Instead, she likes her food to be of the bright pink and pickled variety.
What is Doechii’s favorite snack?
In an interview on YouTube, she’s asked what her favorite snack is. “Pickled eggs,” she says. “They’re so good.” And she wouldn’t just eat the pickled eggs by themselves; she would actually mix them with hot sausage for a kind of DIY-bodega egg salad. “I think it’s a Florida thing,” she tells the interviewer.
I’m not from Florida, and I have never heard of this combination, so I think it’s safe to say it is a very regional invention! Maybe it’s so regional that it’s specific to Tampa, or perhaps…Doechii’s house. I think it probably tastes amazing!
Pickled eggs are a classic bar snack, and they get their bright pink color from the beets they pickle with. It’s a recipe that has roots in Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine, which is a twist on German-style pickled eggs. Pickled snacks of all kinds are certainly having a moment in the sun right now, and there is no shortage of celebrities, from Selena Gomez to Dua Lipa and now Doechii declaring their love for the briny, salty snack.
