I find the taste of a hard boiled or baked yolk about like licking chalk, so I am firmly in the decoration camp. The Italian families I shared dinner with that made it though treated it as a tradition to peel the egg, slice it up and everyone share it with the bread. Not my taste, but they enjoyed it. | |

I have also had Asian salted eggs served as a dessert, but in Asian cuisine it is not uncommon to have a dessert or closing course that most of us would consider savory. | |
