...in response to so many questions raised about that one (Romanian) who would suck eggs through breaks in the shell, during his work-day at a(n English) market:
he would keep them under his market stall table and then when he had a quiet moment he would devour two, three or even four eggs in one go. since i was not a customer he would often do it in front of me and then extol the virtue of raw eggs.
i also
have some vague memory of him saying that he made pigeon pie from some
pigeons that roosted in his attic. it could be that he was pulling my
leg. it's difficult to say.
