Rude Food by Vir Sanghvi: An egg is all it’s cracked up to be

Jul 20, 2023 02:49 PM IST

Indians don’t really bother with the mechanics of the inside of the egg. It’s a pity, because good eggs have much to offer, even to vegetarians

For most of us Indians, eggs are no big deal. We have grown up with them in some form or the other: as ande ki bhurji, as masala omelettes, even as the boiled eggs in mutton curries and biryanis.

Industrial eggs have watery whites, pale yolks and very little flavour. Free-range eggs cost more but they are well worth it. (SHUTTERSTOCK)

Are eggs vegetarian? Most of the ones we eat are unfertilised, which means they would never have hatched. Even Gandhiji said that eggs were not what he called “flesh food”. So go ahead and order the omelette, or the croissant with poached egg. (Shutterstock)

    Why hide the papers? Why keep the conspiracy theories related to Netaji Subhas Bose’s death alive? And why deny India the truth about the death of one of its great freedom fighters?
