MacKenzie Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Went to the Sat. market to pick up a pork belly and some eggs. The vendor gave me a couple of these. I had no idea what they were until he told me. The bacon is on to cure and later this coming week I'll smoke it. In the meantime I just had to try the turkey egg. The shell was hard almost had to hit it with the cleaver. I really couldn't tell the difference when it was cracked open in appearance or flavour after cooking it. It was neat experience. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Tyrus, I do have an ostrich egg shell but it is empty BTW the shell is verrry thick. Edited December 11, 2017 by MacKenzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Never had a turkey egg (or seen one) before. I've had duck and quail eggs and other than size, there's not a lot of difference in taste/texture. Supposedly duck eggs are "richer" - whatever that means?

As I undertsand it, "richer" is because the yolks are larger than the chicken eggs in comparison. If your baking the larger yolk is preferred. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted December 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Tyrus, you are so right. The yolk is noticeably larger than a either the turkey or chicken egg. The shell is quite transparent and very smooth, when the egg is cracked the white of the egg was crystal clear, a beautiful sight. Breakfast is ready.:) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
