The Other Egg
Reader Stephan emailed me earlier about some very smart fuel you might want to consider: duck eggs. Apparently duck eggs are incredibly rich in nutrition – 100% of your daily B12 (well, by government standards anyway). And apparently those who are allergic to chicken eggs can frequently still do well with duck eggs. Never tried ‘em myself, but I think I will. Anyone else tried them or any other unusual eggs?

Mark-
Tell us how they taste! I’ve had blue and green chicken eggs but it’s still chicken.
I have had quail eggs. They are pretty much the tiniest bite ever, but good.
Betcha they’d be tasty with cat-bacon (unsmoked, of course) and a short stack of kentucky blue grass pancakes.
Same here Sara,
I occasionally get the quail eggs. They are small.
They are not easy to find,
I see them only at the local asian supermarket.
I have tried goose eggs. Too tart!!
I find cat bacon to be too stringy. I recommend squirrel.
I have eaten, duck goose and turkey eggs, If I recall acurately, turkey eggs were simular to chicken only larger, ducks and goose are stronger and lots darker yokes, while the goose eggs had a rubbery texture. I also ate pecock eggs, but I can’t remember much about them.Also the goose eggs were mostly yoke. We had a freind about twenty years ago who raised every type of egg laying bird possibly known to man.
I had an emu egg before from whole foods, biggest omlet ever!
