green eggs
Lime-colored breakfast spheres
Green eggs are eggs with green-colored yolks or whites, either from natural causes (certain hen diets, overcooking) or artificial coloring.
The phrase is indelibly associated with Dr.
Seuss's *Green Eggs and Ham*, where a character refuses to try green eggs and ham until finally relenting: I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
