Sucking eggs was an old English custom going back centuries, and normally done at Easter. An egg would be pierced with small holes at either end, and the contents sucked out. The empty shell was decorated and could be kept indefinitely as the contents had been sucked out and therefore couldn't go bad.
Yes, but I was taught to *blow* eggs, not *suck* eggs; who wants all that gunk in your mouth?
