| Oct 10, 2018 at 5:42 | comment | added | SAH | Does anyone know if this has anything to do with the idea that we - at least in my shitah - always put some salt on a hard-boiled egg before eating it? (If I'm not mistaken, this is done in order not to resemble an avel) | |

| Apr 2, 2015 at 16:24 | comment | added | gideon marx | @SethJ I can only add that in my brother-in-law's recipe book it says that the egg is a general symbol of sorrow. Here used to remember the offerings that used to take place twice a year at the festivals. | |

| Apr 1, 2015 at 17:36 | comment | added | gideon marx | Salt water = tears of slaves, egg = the mortar. No idea where that came from. It was just said every year. | |

| Apr 30, 2012 at 19:31 | comment | added | Seth J | @ShmuelBrin, two distinct Minhagim (at least in my family). One is a roasted egg on the Seder plate. One is hardboiled eggs eaten with saltwater as a sign of mourning for the loss of the Beith HaMikdash (first thing eaten as part of the meal - after Korech). | |
