GOURMET: "Les oeufs et leurs chapeaux" (The eggs and their hats)

One of the first things that comes to mind when I hear or see the word "gourmet" is the chef's hat.  Regardless of the slightly absurd shape of all varieties, the chef's hat is a gourmet staple...  as is the egg.

I think these three brown chicken eggs look quite distinguished in their choices of hats.
