Celebrate World Egg Day – 14 October
Eggs, which are thought to be one of the oldest foods that man has ever known, have always played an important part in the lives and health of humans ever since the beginning of time. These tasty morsels are not only loaded with protein but also serve as the foundation for some of the most delicious breakfast foods and culinary additions, such as mayonnaise, which is the most ideal condiment for sandwiches.
The purpose of celebrating these delightful little packages of deliciousness and the incredibly important role that eggs play in the day-to-day lives of humans all over the world on World Egg Day is to draw attention to the significance of eggs in people’s lives.
An Overview of the History of World Egg Day
When most people think of eggs, they picture the white or brown-shelled emissions that come from the common chicken. However, eggs can come in a variety of colours and shapes. The image that immediately comes to mind when someone mentions the word “egg” is that of a chicken egg, which is widely known to hold a miniature treasure in the form of a golden yolk and to have the potential to develop into so many different things that it pushes the limits of the human imagination.
But these are not the only kinds of eggs that people find valuable; for example, caviar is considered to be a sign of wealth in its own right. Think about that for a second. Naturally, these are the eggs that have been laid by a variety of fish, and World Egg Day is a celebration of their significance as well.
Eggs have been revered across many different cultures for a wide variety of reasons, including those that are religious and those that are decorative. The history of the egg extends far beyond the realm of gastronomy alone. Eggs have been seen as a symbol of fertility and a representation of life, renewal, and rebirth in a wide variety of cultures all over the world.
The celebration of World Egg Day should serve as a timely prompt to investigate the passageways of history and the roles that eggs have played in those settings. It’s time to start getting into the celebratory spirit for World Egg Day!
How to Celebrate the International Day of the Egg
Participating in the activities surrounding the celebration of World Egg Day can turn into an exciting journey when it comes to commemorating everything that has to do with eggs. Put some of these suggestions for commemorating the occasion into practice:
Devour a Dish That Consists of Eggs
The best way to kick off the festivities for World Egg Day is with a heaping helping of eggs scrambled with bacon, which is widely regarded as the perfect pairing for eggs. That unassuming plate of eggs will be elevated to an entirely new level of scrumptiousness with the addition of just a touch of salt, pepper, and cheese.
Putting together a sandwich for lunch on a slice of egg bread, which is incredible in its own right, is a fantastic idea that you should consider putting into action. What about the meat in the middle of the sandwich? Egg salad is the obvious choice here, considering the circumstances. A few hard-boiled eggs, some mayonnaise, some mustard, and some chopped dill pickle relish are all you need to make it.
Discover Some Interesting Facts Regarding Eggs.
On this special day, known as World Egg Day, it is a good idea to brush up on some fun facts and anecdotes that you can then share with your various coworkers, neighbours, friends, or members of your family. They’ll be blown away by one-of-a-kind and fascinating tidbits of information like the following:
The breed is the primary factor in determining egg colour.
There is no relationship between the colour of the egg and its freshness, flavour, or nutritional value in any way. In point of fact, the colour of the egg is strictly determined by the breed of the hen, and this colour corresponds to the colour of the earlobe on the hen!
Eggs have a Significant Impact on Chefs’ Hats.
Some people aren’t aware that in the not-too-distant past, the significance of the number of pleats in a chef’s hat was connected to the number of different ways that the chef was able to cook an egg. This is something that some people aren’t aware of. Achieving 100 pleats was the pinnacle of success and a sign of true honour in this project.
Consuming eggs that have been cooked is preferable.
It is a common misconception that consuming raw eggs can assist in the process of muscle building; however, this is not the case. It is only possible to digest about half of the proteins found in a raw egg. The body is able to digest more than 90 per cent of the protein after it has been cooked.
Use your imagination with some ostrich eggs.
There is a great deal of potential to be found in a carefully drained ostrich egg for those who have an artistic bent; one could even make a lamp out of such an egg!
People from all over the world are encouraged to investigate the myriad of opportunities that lie within eggs on World Egg Day.
Bonus: Egg Freshness Tips
Are you sure those eggs are still good to eat? The best way to determine whether or not something is fresh is to put an egg into a glass of water and observe its reaction. If it is fresh, it will sink to the bottom. If it is buoyant? It is most likely very old.
Eggs that have a cloudy white indicate that they were recently laid. The majority of eggs that are purchased from supermarkets have been stored for a longer period of time, so it is likely that their purported “whites” are actually colourless and clear in appearance. However, you shouldn’t eat them if the “whites” are any colour besides cloudy white or transparent. Otherwise, they can still be safely consumed.
