Egg Shell Quotes
“According to superstition, empty egg-shells should always be broken up -- lest witches make boats thereof.”
Dorothy Hartley (1892-1985)
“Another article of cuisine that offends the bowels of unused Britons is garlic. Not uncommonly in southern climes an egg with a shell on is the only procurable animal food without garlic in it. Flatulence and looseness are the frequent results.”
Dr. T. K. Chambers
A Manuel of Diet In Health and Disease (1875)
“Oh eggs within thine oval shell, What palate tickling joys do dwell.”
