- According to Snopes.com, the urban legend investigation site, it is true that Dr. Seuss wrote this book in response to a challenge from his editor to write a book that used fewer than 50 different words. According to Wikipedia: The fifty words used are: a, am, and, anywhere, are, be, boat, box, car, could, dark, do, eat, eggs, fox, goat, good, green, ham, here, house, I, if, in, let, like, may, me, mouse, not, on, or, rain, Sam, say, see, so, thank, that, the, them, there, they, train, tree, try, will, with, would, you.

- Dr. Seuss does it again, putting a tiny collection of words to excellent if annoying use (especially if you have to read the same book to your kid eighty times in a row... or just enough to get it stuck in your head). He manages this with a text composed primarily of repetitions of the same few lines, with a few minor changes, building up to a climactic ending. His whimsical pictures showcase the crazy world in which this storyline is possible. The book was written as the result of a friendly bet: Seuss's publisher was impressed that The Cat in the Hat was written using fewer than 300 different words, and bet Seuss that he couldn't write another one with a coherent plot using only 50 different words. Seuss hit it right on target. The story follows a nutty-but-persistent character named Sam-I-Am, who hangs around a tall cranky dog-face whose name is never given. Throughout the book, Sam pursues his neighbor around, asking him if he would like to eat the eponymous foodstuff? No? How about this way, or that way...? His increasingly exasperated victim denies his offer each time, until finally he gives in just so that Sam will leave him alone... ...and given that this is the Trope Namer for I Do Not Like Green Eggs and Ham, he likes it. An Animated Adaptation was featured as part of the TV special Dr. Seuss on the Loose. The Canadian band, Moxy Fruvous, also sang a funky rap song using an adaptation of the book. It also got an adaptation as a Living Books title. Inspired the title of the beginner snare drum solo, Green Eggs and Flam.
- The extremely elevated and contemporary diction employed by the master of language, Theodor Geisel, is beyond the scope of literary genius. Structurally, his sophisticated work is mainly based in monosyllabic iambic tetяameter, not unlike the lesser work of the Odyssey or the so-called ‘Great Bard.’ Many Shakespearean scholars have long since converted to the new, more renowned work of Theodor Geisel. The good Doctor also branches into the vast realm of trochaic meter during his novel. He embraces the core and fundamental themes of excellence in writing. While any of Dr. Geisel’s works could easily fulfill all the needs of any reader, his most widely appreciated endeavor is the one which I will devote my focus to. Green Eggs and Ham begins, like all great works of literature, with a pun. Not only does the author satirize the dish of eggs and ham cooked in spinach from the outset, he also makes a chilling statement about the classist nature of modern American society. In the novel, the mightily heroic protagonist, Sam I Am, attempts to sway the anonymous, archetypal antagonist to the liberal side of the political spectrum by consuming green eggs and ham. Throughout the course of the novel Sam-I-am leads the reader through myriad landscapes with Dr. Geisel’s carefully crafted imagery. Does he succeed? Although the ending provides an answer to the burning question, the metaphoric interpretations are endless, and have been discussed by literary experts for decades.

* It has been served by its chefs at various exclusive receptions across the world, including at the White Houses in both the U.S. and the Russian Federation.
* The exquisite flavour and tasteful verdant-green colour result from a special egg and ham curing process developed by its chefs from France experienced in the aging of fine cheeses, wines and crackers.
* The hotel carefully guards the preparation method.
