I guess it is the season, but right after I read the digests today
with all the questions and comments on egg preserving, I checked my
email messages for today, and this message was in there. What a
coincidence! It's also shows that your many comments in the
Florilegium get read by, and presumably help, folks around the world
and not just SCA folks. This individual is in the United Kingdom and
isn't in the SCA.

Yesterday I was talking to my mother in law over lunch. She made some
comment about how many eggs she had left over. I said she should
preserve them with Oteg. A long discussion followed where I was left
in no doubt that my memory had failed! Upon searching for oateg &
Oteg I came across your site and the name Oteg. Thank you for
restoring my faith in my memory.
My parents used to keep hens during the 1950s and early 60s and I can
clearly remember Mother preserving some of the egg crop by dipping in
a jar of Oteg using a special set of wire tongs with the ends formed
into circles to hold the egg and then setting them aside to dry. I
believe the stuff was also known as waterglass.
