My OH said they jarped or went ‘ jarping’ I’d never heard of such an expression, it means you had to see who had the strongest egg to crack, a bit like conkers?
We ‘booled’ our paste eggs on the grass in the local park, I suppose ‘booled’ is a narrative of bowled, it was a huge gathering and whosever egg went the furthest would get a prize , usually another decorated paste egg lol

Yes, 'paste' eggs somehow comes from paschal and that is tied in with 'pace'. If you are northern you just sort of understand it.
