What is an egg? At first glance, it doesn't seem to be anything special aesthetically speaking, but if you take a closer/deeper look at this wonder of nature, it is quite extraordinary...
It's beige-brownish/white shell looks very common and has nothing to offer in order to capture our attention. It is plain simple and not pretentious shape-wise. On the contrary, the inside of an egg is very interesting, because it is very graphic with it's contrasting colors (the perfect/pure white and the gorgeous yoke/yellow) and textures (runny/solid, creamy/jelly-like).
As humble as it looks, it is an amazingly photogenic "object" whether it is photographed in it's raw or cooked form. In their apparent simplicity, eggs can subjugate you totally as their perfect and flawless aspect has a meditative effect one you and tends to soothe your soul!

ReplyDeleteI totaly agree with you, and what it looks like is not to speak about what it truly contains: life.
ReplyDeleteHave you traveled a lot, Rosa? Did you know that American eggs are white? Some European people have never seen white eggs and find it strange!
We get both now, brown and white since about... 10 years.
They say there is absolutely no difference, that it has to do with the type of hen that layed'em.
You can even find natural pink, blue and green eggs in specialty stores!!!
Great pictures, nice thoughts... as usual! Gooday!
A chaque fois que je prend des photos dans ma cuisine lorsque je suis en train de cuisiner avec des oeufs, j'ai immanquablement envie d'immortaliser les jaunes! Merci de nous rappeler que les choses simples sont toujours les plus belles.
ReplyDeleteEggs are indded a wonder. And they are so essential in cooking.
ReplyDeleteYo Rosa..I am not an egg person but your pics just make me feel like having one now hehehe..
ReplyDeleteTe felicito por tu post sobre el huevo en el que nos incluyes recetas, está muy bien.
ReplyDeleteUn saludo
Ana
FLO BRETZEL: Merci ;-P!
ReplyDeleteVIBI: Thanks, Vibi :-D!!! No, I have not travelled a lot, unfortunately... Here, we also have white eggs (as well as red and brown ones). No, I didn't know that they were only white in the US. Yes, it has to do with the hen that layed them... I never saw natural pink or green eggs in our stores. Have a nice day!
MARION: Merci pour ton gentil commentaire!
GLAMAH16: Yes, indeed ;-P! What would baking be without that precious ingredient?!
SHIONGE: Thanks ;-P!
ANA: Muchas gracias :-D!

ReplyDeleteJe ne sais pas si on te l'a déjà dit, mais depuis un moment, j'ai un mal fou à pousser les portes de ta cuisine..., la page met environ 3 mn pour s'ouvrir...
Bonne journée :o)
Bisous

L'oeuf! cet aliment de vie.
ReplyDeleteTrès beau
Merci Rosa et bises
The glossy texture of the egg yolk is really beautiful, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteFaut vraiment le faire, parler d'un oeuf de façon si poétique! Tu as bien raison, la nature nous donne de si belles choses, il faut vraiment prendre le temps de s'arrêter pour les admirer.
