Eggs in Caesar’s salad?

Once upon a time, there was a great Roman emperor named Caesar. He was known for hosting lavish banquets with the finest foods and drinks. At one of these banquets, a creative and daring chef decided to create a new salad. He mixed crisp lettuce, tomatoes, croutons, and of course, eggs. But these weren’t just any eggs, they were special eggs that had been delicately cured and transformed into little bursts of flavor.

Caesar was impressed by the chef’s creation and asked him what he called it. The chef proudly replied, “It’s my new salad, Your Highness, and I call it Caesar’s salad. And those little bursts of flavor you taste? Well, they’re eggs – or in Latin, ‘ova‘.”

From then on, Caesar’s salad became a renowned dish throughout the Roman Empire, and could always be found at any banquet hosted by the emperor. Today, we still enjoy this delicious salad, and the word ‘ova‘ has become a popular crossword clue for the essential ingredient that makes it so special.
