Gypsy Cure-all Egg




02/01 GYPSY CURE-ALL EGG





My soul is rotten to the core on day one of the new year. The past two weeks ringing the death knell, a toll for which we all must to pay the price. We live to tell, its human nature. Passed on from village to village, the soul reviving power of hot polenta is akin to gypsy magic - indeed it likely is.

The cornmeal is almost an instant savoury porridge - delicious, hot and salty like popcorn. The peppery egg yolk adds the body and nutrients needed to kickstart the long process of bodily recovery. So this trampy thief has pillaged this simple provincial meal and found the only remedy needed to take your consumed sins and wash them away. Dark lady made black magic.


Ingredients (all approximate) - 

150g Polenta
200ml Boiled water
1 Egg yolk
1 tsp butter
Salt + Pepper


What I did - 

You don't want to over think this, so will keep it brief. Put the polenta in a saucepan, pour in the boiled water. Stir on heat until absorbed. Add the butter and salt and stir until melted into a soft golden cloud. Empty into a bowl and then make a small hole in the top. Rest the separated egg yolk on its golden pillow. Crack over enough pepper to make you sneeze violently.

Spoon, mouth, recover. Will cure everything.
