Eggs, Plovers'

Plovers' eggs are sometimes served boiled hard and cold; they may also be shelled, and served the same as eggs à la tripe, with a good Béchamel sauce or brown gravy poured over them. Their principal use, however, is for salads and other savoury cold dishes, the beautiful colour of the white being generally so much admired.
