I hope that if you celebrate, you are enjoying the season. Today, to follow my various posts on Christmas food, I wanted to talk about an Easter tradition. Eggs you are familiar with, as they are a symbol of birth and fertility, and have been part of various European Spring and Easter festivals since medieval times. (The practice of decorating eggs and using them to celebrate rebirth also existed in other older cultures, including the Sumerians and the ancient Egyptians).
I don’t think we have Peeps in France 😢 But, to mark the season Youna (my OH’s dog) enjoyed a tasty Easter bunny this weekend. My OH’s daughters were quite traumatised but as an ace huntress Youns despatched it quickly and ate it whole.
My brothers and I always preferred peeps a little stale, with crunchy outsides and chewy insides. So my mom would buy them weeks before Easter, take off the plastic wrapping, and put them in the cupboard until it was time to make our baskets.
