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).
