Question for Discworld Fans

Has Terry Pratchett has ever touched on the matter of Granny Weatherwax's skills in removing the contents from eggs while leaving the shells (mostly) intact?

I could be wrong, but I believe he discusses it in "Maskerade." Not 100% sure though, it's been awhile.

He keeps me with all of his other pretty things for I am just another pretty thing in a long list of acquisitions.

Nothing about it is mentioned in The folklore of Discworld ,which doesnt mean he hasn't talked about it elsewhere but its a pretty comprehensive book, (and also for those who are interested a really good starting point for British  and wider folklore for Discworld nerds, it's co written with Jacqueline Simpson)

Ooh, that leads me in all sorts of interesting directions - folkloric ones, rather than ones pertinent to the question I asked, but then, I was asking merely because the first line of my signature has seemed particularly appropriate of late. 'Folkloric' is of much more enduring interest than 'damn, do I need to put that line of my sig in bold? Change my username to "Grandma"?... Hmmm....'

Thanks, both of you!
