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?

Imagine you’re George Clooney. Take a moment to admire your grooming and wit. Okay, now imagine someone walks up to you and asks, “What’s your name?” You say, “I’m George Clooney.” Or maybe you say, “I’m the Clooninator!” You don’t say “I’m George of George Clooney Sells Movies Blog” and you certainly don’t say, “I’m Clooney Weight Loss Plan”. So while spam is technically meat, it ain’t anywhere near Primal. Please nickname yourself something your friends would call you.

  1. Mark-
    Tell us how they taste! I’ve had blue and green chicken eggs but it’s still chicken.

  2. I have had quail eggs. They are pretty much the tiniest bite ever, but good.

  3. Betcha they’d be tasty with cat-bacon (unsmoked, of course) and a short stack of kentucky blue grass pancakes.

  4. 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.

  6. I find cat bacon to be too stringy. I recommend squirrel. ;)

  7. 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.
