Today, here in Central France, my neighbour asked me if she could have one egg that is laid today ( EASTER FRIDAY).
She tells me that if one takes an egg laid on Easter Friday then eat it on Easter Sunday then it will protect you from the dangers of a snake bite.
Beat that for strange things to do with an egg.
We have a stall at the Fete of the Egg tomorrow and may hear of even more strange customs in these here parts.
