Hornazo
Hornazo () is a Spanish meat pie eaten in the provinces of Salamanca and ﾃ」ila. It is made with flour and yeast and stuffed with pork loin, spicy chorizo, and hard-boiled eggs. In Salamanca, it is traditionally eaten in the field during the "Monday of the Waters" ('' Lunes de aguas'') festival. The name of this unique festival supposedly comes from a twisting of the word '' enagua'' ("petticoat"), which the prostitutes of the town used to wear under their dresses. According to tradition, during Lent the prostitutes were sent to the other side of the Tormes River so that the men of the town were not distracted during the religious observances. On Easter Monday, the students of the town threw a party on the banks of the river to celebrate the return of the women, and ate hornazo as part of the celebration. Hornazo in other parts of Spain In other places in the country there are dishes similar to hornazo that contain hard-boiled eggs as a primary ingredient. In some parts of ...

Egg (food)
Humans and other hominids have consumed eggs for millions of years. The most widely consumed eggs are those of fowl, especially chickens. People in Southeast Asia began harvesting chicken eggs for food by 1500 BCE. Eggs of other birds, such as ducks and ostriches, are eaten regularly but much less commonly than those of chickens. People may also eat the eggs of reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Fish eggs consumed as food are known as roe or caviar. Hens and other egg-laying creatures are raised throughout the world, and mass production of chicken eggs is a global industry.
