Warning about Eggs
Published by deviousdiva April 16th, 2008 in Odds and Ends.There will be much egg buying (and eating) over the next few weeks because Easter is fast approaching. Jokes about not being able to boil an egg spring to mind but there are obviously some people who really can’t.
Please be careful…
The Hellenic Food Authority (EFET) yesterday warned consumers to be careful when purchasing traditional dyed eggs for Orthodox Easter. The eggs should bear a label indicating the final deadline by which they can be consumed and explaining their date of production and origin, EFET said. Retailers should not mark boiled, dyed eggs as “fresh” as this term can be applied only to eggs before they are boiled, EFET added.
Technorati: easter, orthodox easter, greece, eggs
Slightly off topic, I’ve noticed more adverts on Greek TV for chocolate easter eggs this year. Don’t remember this happening before, I was told chocolate eggs are not traditional in Greece. But guess the Powers that Be spotted a gap in the market.
