“Probably one of the most private
things in the world is an egg until it is broken.” -
MFK Fisher
Eggs symbolize new beginnings, because they
are, as it were, new beginnings. And so it makes sense to
start the new year with eggs, not because of their overt regenerative
connotations, but because you can do anything with them; they're
classic breakfast fare, and just-so-happen to pair well with
another favorite ovum, caviar, a notable presence in this
year’s recipes. Soft boiled, coddled or raw, a clever
series of slight manipulations, ostentatious fortifications,
and yes, well-meaning intrusions transform these once coy
yolks and whites into flamboyant declarations of a new year
to come.
