Traditional Greek Red Eggs


The Greek eggs are distributed, one per person.


Then, a contest ensues where each person's egg is pitted in round-robin style competition against all other eggs to find the champion egg. Two people face off against each other where one holds the egg in their fist and the other uses their egg as a sort of hammer to smack the other person's egg. This can be done either pointy end to pointy end or fat end against fat end.



You continue in this contest until both of your ends are cracked. The last egg to have at least one side unsmashed is the champion egg. Then you peel and eat the eggs (or not).

Ah, yes, egg fighting ... the true meaning of Easter. Looks like you had a spirited contest there, Steve. During my lifetime, this has always a part of my extended paternal family's Easter tradition (I've even introduced Mrs. JiLS to the sport). This despite the fact that not so much as a drop of Greek blood runs in the veins of any of my family. Also, we always just use our regular, multi-hued eggs for the fights, not special blood-red versions. Although I can see the appeal (and appropriateness) of that color choice. I need to break right now and call my parents to see who dominated in the Indianapolis round-robin tournament...

Since we went with the vehicular variety, we didn't deliberately have a smashing contest - but the fire truck and police car (which went home with a friend and thus isn't shown) almost went head-to-head



Sparky will be sad he missed the opportunity to have an Egg Vader...

We deliberately smashed ours with some chapati.

Not as pretty as the above, but here they are:

OK, I should probably know what that is just by looking at it, but it looks fabulous! Recipe please? (at some point Sparky is going to get tired of HB eggs for lunch)

Thanks, Mhays. These are nargisi kofteh -- or Scotch eggs Desi-style.

I'll share a recipe on S&C board when I get a chance.
