The Roasted Egg

Pass the roasted eggs. 

The roasted egg is a symbol in many different cultures, usually signifying springtime and renewal. Here it stands in place of one of the sacrificial offerings which was performed in the days of the Second Temple. Another popular interpretation is that the egg is like the Jewish people: the hotter you make it for them, the tougher they get. 

Dip your egg in the salt water, add it to your sandwich, and/or (my favorite) add some horseradish to your egg then eat!
