SC - Re: Rattlers and Rabbits and Bears Oh My!

[Siegfried Heydrich]

    heh. I did pickled lace eggs (take hard boiled eggs, roll the shells so
they're fractured into little pieces without removing them, then pickle. The
cracks will discolor more than the rest of the egg, giving a lace effect
when peeled) once, and served 'em up as Dragon Oysters. For the Queen, I did
the same to a couple of Quails eggs.
    When they were served to the high table, the King got a couple of jumbo
eggs, and the Queen got a couple of the tiny little Quail eggs. She looked
at his, looked at hers, and asked about the difference. The server then
looked down demurely, and said "Well, Your Majesty, sometimes the Dragon
wins . . .". Took the Queen ten minutes to stop giggling.
