Boiled eggs are unique. It seems to me that you could create unusual sculptures out of them a sell them to people who are having expensive parties with caviar.
Imagine.... You are sipping a martini and saunter over to the appetizers, where you spot the most unusual things. People are eating the little statues that you saw earlier. One's eating what looks like a bust of George Washington, while another is biting off the head of a miniature gargoyle. What a strange thing. You pick up a piece of abstract art and bite into it and find that it is egg white that has been carved into shapes and dyed. You go over, pick up a salt shaker, sprinkle the salt on the remains of your abstract, take another bite, and sauter off into the party.-- DesertFox, Aug 25 2004 Bernini's David http://www.kfki.hu/...tur/1620/david.html [Machiavelli, Oct 05 2004] Beijing Duck http://www.halfbake...ing_20Fried_20Duck)The great Duck Debate [swimr, Oct 05 2004] First things first: When I'm sipping a martini, I don't "saunter" over to the appetizer table. It's more like a glide.
[Fox], I like this idea. I want one carved in the image of Bernini's statue of David. [see link]-- Machiavelli, Aug 25 2004 Wonderful. You could use teflon forms to rapidly create egg white scuptures, then hand-paint them.-- Worldgineer, Aug 25 2004 So you glide. I saunter. It's the same to me. :)-- DesertFox, Aug 25 2004 To each his own.-- DesertFox, Aug 25 2004 //A truly beautifully carved egg takes time and care// Like a Fabergé.
Can I get you anything else, [Bach]? Perhaps some fois gras?-- Machiavelli, Aug 25 2004 HA ha ah....Mach, let's not bring that up again-- swimr, Aug 25 2004 [swimr], I must admit I have no idea what you're talking about.-- Machiavelli, Aug 25 2004 [Link]...oh yeah + [df]-- swimr, Aug 25 2004 [swimr], that's weird that I mentioned that. I hadn't read all the annos in that one (including yours, sorry). Now I understand. :)-- Machiavelli, Aug 26 2004 I tend not to drink martinis at all generally going with vodka from the bottle.Although, I don't get invited to social functions that often for some reason. Wouldn't these little sculptures stink something chronic?-- harderthanjesus, Aug 26 2004 Only if they were old.-- DesertFox, Aug 26 2004 I usually slink when I have occasion to visit the appetizers and I would be delighted to find little egg statues awaiting me. [+]-- DocBrown, Aug 26 2004 Ahhhhh, slinking. I like slinking, too. That is good.-- DesertFox, Aug 26 2004 Slinkers.-- Machiavelli, Aug 26 2004 Gliding, sauntering and slinking...-- DesertFox, Oct 09 2004 + Churning this one up because Easter is coming! Great idea. (where is [DesertFox] these days?)-- xandram, Mar 19 2008 It would be better if they had yolk. Just pour a whole egg into a suitable mould and boil - the yolk should remain fairly central.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Mar 19 2008 random, halfbakery
