荷包蛋的传说!
其实荷包蛋是流传很久的了,只是从外观得来的,具体年代业已失传了,传说宫廷中的厨师很会做这道菜,当时的御膳房的御厨为了讨当时的皇上喜欢,就按按照水中的荷花做的,正宗的荷包蛋,外形酷似荷花,里面的蛋黄和莲蓬很象的,外皮清脆并且很轻巧。因此叫荷包蛋,后来随着御厨告老还乡,离开了宫廷,这道荷包蛋才广为流传开了。以后就进入寻常百姓家了,都叫这个叫荷包蛋。

参考答案:The Origins of the "Lotus Egg"
Poached eggs have been around for a long time, the Chinese name "Lotus Egg", originated from its appearance, but when that name was given has been lost. As the story goes, there was once an imperial chef who specialised in making this dish. To win the favour of the emperor, he poached the eggs in the shape of the lotus. Therefore the authentic "Lotus Egg", has the appearance of a lotus, the yolk would be similar to the lotus root, and the skin would be light and crispy, in order to deserve the name "Lotus Egg". When the imperial chef retired he brought the dish to his home town, the dish quickly became popular amongst the people, and became commonly known as the "Lotus Egg".
