#NationalEggMonth in May celebrates the versatile egg. 🥚🍳🙌 The egg can be used in making baked goods or cooked in a variety of ways to create a main meal, appetizer, or quick snack. National Egg Month began in the 1960s as a way to encourage people to eat more eggs, but it took place at different times of the year. In 1976, the US Congress created the American Egg Board to promote and market the egg. In the 1990s, the Board selected May as the time to toast the estimable egg, and the egg has been saluted in May ever since. Some people might prefer their eggs soft-boiled and served in an egg cup like the one shown here. This cute little egg cup is a souvenir from the early 1900s and resembles a Florida orange. Have you ever used an egg cup? 📷: Egg cup, ca. 1910–30. Collection of the Museum of Florida History. #FloridaHistory (fb)
