Answer was changed:
The production of HCl requires enormous amounts of energy so acid-producing parietal cells are jam packed with energy producing mitochondria; these stain strongly with acidic dyes including eosin (the 'E' in H&E). The main function of chief cells is the production of the (pre-)protein pepsinogen so chief cells are packed with ribosome lined (rough) endoplasmic reticulum; ribosomes stain with basic dyes including haematoxylin (the 'H' in H&E)
