I'm not sure where *you're* from, but every easter egg (of the non-plastic variety) that I've ever seen was nothing more than a hard-boiled egg covered in dye. The whole point is to eat them afterward. |

HeHe, we have chocolate ones here in the UK - didn't realise you don't have them in the States! We decorate hard boiled ones as well, but the chocolate Easter egg market is huge, indeed an entire aisle of the supermarket is given over to them for weeks before Easter! |

My mother has a whole collection of homemade painted Easter eggs that had been punctured and the contents blown out so that all that remained was an intact empty shell.
There are also the Faberge eggs collected by my grandmother.
P.S. We have chocolate eggs in the U.S., most prominent are chocolate Cadbury eggs, but the chocolate bunnies seem to be the tradition.

I was actually referring to Pysanky - as in Ukrainian Easter Eggs.
For example:

As I am an Albertan here is a picture of the World's largest pysanky:

I don't really consider those "easter eggs", as they're works of art - I've never seen them particularly associated with easter. Just a definition difference, then.
Those aren't edible at all... they're papier mache or other such material. |

Egg. Nothing but egg shell. Not paper mache.
All other easter eggs chocolate, hard boiled or otherwise take from this ancient Ukrainian tradition. The hard boiled part is so kids can do it by the way. (Something I should have done last year when I tried my hand at it when my girlfriend's nieces broke about 4 eggs). As you mention thought they aren't edible because they contain no yolk or white. A hole is drilled into the egg and the contents are blown out.
The eggs are a simple of fertility which is associated with spring. When Christianity was introduced to the Ukrainian people they combined the two ideas. (Since Easter is usually close to spring).

Now to un-hijack the thread :) |

Ok, I'll give you dirt but what about animals. I would normally consider them edible. |
Is there a compelling reason to reject all animal images simply because you can conceive that they are edible?
Are you overintellectualizing the challenge description and therefore nit-picking the challenge topic like we see happening over and over again at this site?
Is this site about photography or about semantics?

What about bugs? Many bugs are edible in their raw form. :p
This discussion was done-over in the "FOOD DQ?!?' thread, but most of it was simply humor. If you have to say "in some cultures", then it probably doesn't meet the "normal" test. |

I guess the acid test would be when it goes to Site Council. If more than half of them figure your subject (or other items in the picture) are edible, its a DQ. I'd have to agree with stdavidson. We don't need to over think this. I don't eat bugs any more than I eat dirt. If I submitted a picture of a bug and I got DQ'd? So be it. Some cultures eat bugs. Some people eat people. I am not going to avoid taking a picture of ground glass because someone might have ingested some at some point. I think common sense would be the basic rule. If you were worried that it might get DQ'd submit it to SC and let them rule before the challenge deadline. (Like ANY challenge..)
The voting has been going on for a few days now. I imagine that if there's still submissions floating around with food in them that haven't been DQ'd then they will probably remain until the challenge is over.

| My guess is chestnuts. And this was SO clearly a DQ. |

Looked like Chestnuts to me, but was still a valid DQ even if they were rocks.

Must have been a BAD challenge.
I'm sure Toyan is rather pissed about being disqualified. |
