The Quiz: Which of these eggs is decorative and inedible?
Cadbury egg
Scotch egg
Fabergé egg
Deviled egg
These ornamental, bejeweled eggs were first created in 1885 by Russian Emperor Alexander III, who commissioned Peter Carl Fabergé to create an extravagant Easter gift for his wife. In total, Fabergé created 69 jewel-encrusted eggs between the years 1883 and 1917, but only 61 remain today. Each egg took over a year to complete and contains a surprise inside — the first “surprise” was a yellow gold yolk inside the egg’s outer opaque white enameled shell.
The correct answer to this quiz is Fabergé egg.
