Duck eggs

[ladypanther]

Anyone ever had them?  Have a co worker whose wife got some ducks a few months ago.  Now they are laying eggs.  She can't/won't eat them so has started giving them to me.  

They are really good...the yolk is great.  Very tough shell.  I am wondering if I hard boiled them if I would ever get that shell off!

Nearly double the cholesterol of chicken eggs. :(

Don't eggs have the good cholesterol?

If they are fresh it is very tough to peel any kind of hard boiled egg.  My favorite off brand eggs are guinea hen eggs - they have an extremely tough shell.

They are outstanding! Very rich though, not something I would eat every day or even monthly.  (But that just me)

I would bake with them make a cake or custard dish would really bring out the richness of the egg, if the recipe calls for 2-3 eggs you can usually get by with one duck egg since the yolks are usually about 2-3x as big as a regular chicken egg.

And yeah the shell/ membrane takes a little bit more work to puncture and get through.

Very tasty though.

I'll definitely have to try them.

In the early 2000’s I was a supervisor at a textile plant on Davidson St. in Charlotte (The commute from Mo-town wasn’t that bad back then) 

Anyways, I was earning my living on 3rd shift and the majority of the employees were from Cambodia. 

They would regularly have duck eggs to eat. However, their duck eggs were baluts. I’m always interested in trying new  foods but I could never bring myself to eat one.

Yeah I use to work in a kitchen with some guys from Vietnam they would eat them every day as a snack with lunch, I could never bring myself to try it.

I can still hear them slurping the amniotic fluid from the broken egg.

Al;so a delicacy in the Philippines.

I was overseas and a few of the camp staff loved them.

Me, I never tried 'em.

A slightly crunchy one at that....

We had them when I was a kid. Best used in baking, makes a rich end product. Never used them as a standalone.
