Seth Godin enjoys his food metaphors.

He paints a lovely picture: a cast iron skillet, good olive oil, a couple of free, naturally raised eggs and a spray of David’s kosher salt [insisting how the shape of the salt crystals makes it more flavourful]. Best of all are the crispy, lacy, collar trim  around each egg, which he developed by letting them lollygag a little longer than usual in the pan.
