In Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels", the small-people kingdoms of Lilliput and Blefuscu are at war with each other because they cannot agree on which end of an egg is supposed to be cracked (supposedly a reference by Swift, a Catholic educator, to the religious doctrinal disputes between his church and the Protestants, or disputes between Protestant England and Catholic France).
Of course, when they try to adapt the book for movies and TV, they always leave the clever stuff like this out...
Jill, this made me laugh and nod. Who knew egg cracking could double as a life metaphor? I'm cheering for your next bold whack, both in baking and in being unapologetically you. 🥚✨

David, I never knew this and it sounds so clever and funny... very Jonathan Swift like.
Thank you for always teaching me something.
