Is a Double-Yolked Egg Lucky or Unlucky? [POLL]
My wife and I have been making a lot of deviled-eggs lately and recently we found a double-yolked boiled egg. We still made it into a deviled-egg anyway. My wife was told by a friend that they are good luck, so I looked it up. I got conflicting reports.
According to The Encyclopedia of Superstitions by Richard Webster:
Double-yolked eggs are believed to be a sign of good luck. However, in some parts of Great Britain a double-yolked egg is a warning of death.
According to Baby Lore – Superstitions and Old Wives Tales from the World Over Re: Pregnancy, Birth and Motherhood by Rosalind Franklin, Romany Gypsy folklore says:
Finding a double yolk in an egg means someone in the immediate family is pregnant. If she already knows she is pregnant, it means she will have twins.
