  1. Easter egg is totally different from boiled eggs

  2. Hi Manchi,
    Excellent point.
    Marzipan Egg is a wonderful tasty Easter Egg Treat! One can eat it too.
    The hard boiled eggs are colored in USA where I live and are not eaten. Hard boiled eggs are hidden and found by children in a game called the easter egg hunt.
    Easter egg hunts are open to all communities including our parsi community.
    All the best,
    Rita
