We were out of eggs this morning, and I suddenly became very aware of how limited the options were for cooking breakfast for my kids. It made me wonder what the history is of eggs in cooking, and how they became a central ingredient in so many things. Apparently the answer is pretty deep according to Wikipedia. I’m sure there’s legit PhD level research on this topic, and if I ever whittle down the list of books at my bedside table I’m sure it’ll be interesting reading.
