Do You Desire an Egg?

March 22, 2007

On my last visit to France I stayed over night in a restaurant with rooms in La Guerche-de Bretagne called Calèche.
Having in the Guide Michelin both a Bib Gourmand and coin symbol, which indicates that it is cheap, it was a good choice.
At breakfast time, having produced the usual bread and croissants M. le Propritaire said to us;
“Desirez vous un oeuf ?”
The answer of course is a simple: Yes!, I constantly desire eggs, but, as my cholesterol count is too high they are strictly rationed.
It is I suppose an acknowledgment of old age when one can call eggs objects of desire!
