When I was a little girl, I used to never eat eggs. My Mom would find some innovative ways to make me eat eggs. One such way was to make egg curry and tell me that it has "Golden Egg". The egg when taken out of the curry would look golden. Yes, try it out :)
There was a story in my childhood in my Hindi books. It was "Sone Ka Anda". My Mom made egg curry one day. She would make me eat the "Golden Egg" from the curry. When I made this curry, I remembered the nostalgic memories associated with my childhood.
I presented a golden egg to my little fussy toddler now. I thought she would eat the egg thinking that it's golden. But she did not eat. She said that first she wants to see the golden hen :) Kids are indeed smarter nowadays...
