Things you Can Do With Eggs
A short while I wrestle with the complxities of putting "Clowning" to bed once and for all. The Dutch (not this time Afrikaans) title will become clear.
Inspired by a badly mis-spelt hotel breakfast buffet menu advertising "Scrumbled Eggs". At first I speculated on Nanny Ogg having hit on a way to coddle eggs in Scumble. Then I reflected that involves exposing a volatile fluid to heat and naked flames. Even Nanny would hesitate. But. What else can you do with eggs? Especially with a Netherlands-like place on the Disc…
Too good not to comment on. Possibly from the sister paper of the Ankh-Morpork Times, "De Telegraf van DamHamster".
The celebrated cook and chef of Lancre, Mistress Gytha Ogg, has been brought a bottle back from a daughter-in-law who went to Sto Kerrig on holiday, and at first was dubious of a bright neon-yellow eggy syrup that packs one hell of a punch, Nanny Ogg has been quite taken with the concept of Advocaat. Scrumbled Egg is a Lancre version of the theme, such a vivid yellow that it hurts the eyes and, as might be expected, trouble for those who do not take the precaution of drinking it in VERY small glasses.
"I sees it now. It's Kerrigian for "lawyer". Nanny said, as the yellow gloop oozed from bottle to glass. She adjusted the set of her sunglasses, Normally she didn't hold with wearing them anywhere, least of all indoors. But the glowing yellow of the liquid, the same sort of warning yellow as the stripes on a wasp, only worse, mandated this. Your eyes shut down in self-defence. "Well, they says as how people gets to be sober as a judge, I suppose."
"Drink up. Eggs is good for you!" she proclaimed.
