Egg Smashing In Rural England.

Egg contests survive in many rural
parts Of England. A popular game is
that of egg smashing. Eggs are pitted
against each other in a shell breaking
contest, the owner of the egg that
cracks the other taking the spoils home
in a bucket for IN omelet. In North
cumberland if a man asks a woman for
an egg on Easter and is refused he
may take off her shoes and keep them
until she pays a penalty. If a man re-
fuses the egg to a woman, she snatches
away his cap and holds it for redemp-
ton by a money forfeit.
