The custom of rolling hard-boiled eggs down a hill can be traced back to Victorian times and, if the crowds appearing at the White House are any indicator, the practice remains in full vigor. In fact, it’s a South Lawn tradition presided over each year on Easter Monday by the First Lady. The object of the event is to see which egg can be coaxed along the farthest without breaking. It reminds me of Pancake Day on Shrove Tuesday. Funny how the Easter season brings long-held customs related to running with food. Got a favorite egg-rolling anecdote? Share it here.
