Egg Pocking: The Cajun Easter Tradition

Egg Pocking: The Cajun Easter Tradition

What is Egg Pocking? 

Egg Pocking is a tournament-style battle for the strongest hard-boiled Easter egg.

How to Play: First, you and your competitor grab a hard-boiled egg. Hold the thickest part of the egg in your fist(as pictured). Then count to three and lightly tap your opponent’s egg without cracking your own egg. Continue tapping eggs until one cracks. The round ends as soon as the first egg cracks, the winner will then advance to the next round. The game repeats until there is one person left. That person becomes the winner of the Egg Pocking Competition. 

What do you win? Prizes can range from bragging rights for the year, cash, candy, or even first place in line for food.

The game is simple, but the competition gets serious! Some take it so seriously that they secretly switch out their eggs for a stronger duck egg.

Give it a crack, and let us know what you think of this Cajun tradition!
