Nonna Lucia used to make Italian Easter Bread every Easter -- it was in the shape of a lamb - with an hard boiled egg right in the center of the lamb. When little Sis and I first saw it we happily yelled "Oh! A HORSIE!!!"
We LOVED the sweet bread. We kept putting off eating the hard boiled egg-- until finally someone would break open the shell and say "Eeeyew! it's GREEEN inside!" and Mom Sylvia would always say "THROW IT OUT! IT's BAAAD!"
