Duck eggs, would you eat them?

[LittleBookofCalm]

Dh bought some but I am nervous

If they're similar to goose eggs then they will be yummy!!

yes, like Mawkish ... I couldn't get past it, and couldn't even watch dh eat the scrambled eggs either

I don't know what it is, as we have had chickens too and I have seen those chickens do eat some bad things , vicious wee madams!

They're a bit more "eggy" than hens eggs but they're brilliant for baking cakes! If you boil them they need longer than hen eggs. And they're not fishy we used to keep ducks and they never ate fish... Just duck food and grass!

While we're talking about it my chickens eat some vile things.

Duck eggs are awesome. We love them for all eggy purposes. Fried duck eggs are so good. You've got me craving one now.

Ugh no way. I just couldn’t.

I wouldn’t but not because I think they’d be fishy or anything! It’s just that everything I’ve ever read about them says they are richer than chicken eggs and I find chicken eggs a bit rich (can’t eat omelettes for this reason!) so I know I wouldn’t enjoy a duck egg. You should try it tho if you’re an egg fan!

Theyre not really for eating ie fried boiled, but fab for baking!

They are absolutely for boiling, frying, poaching and scrambling.

We had ducks who laid eggs almost daily when I was growing up so wouldn't think twice, of course I'd eat them, in any way chicken eggs are prepared.

Ooh, I haven’t had duck eggs for ages, my gran used to serve them for us as a special treat when she could get them off the market, they’ve got a lovely big rich yolk, perfect for boiled eggs and toast soldiers. I wonder if I could buy them locally now...

I love them myself, but they can bite - my dh is horrifically intolerant of them. The tiniest bit on the end of a spoon puts him in bed for two days. He's fine with hen eggs and any other sort that he's tried.

Oh yum of course, people are so weird

They make my dh sick too and a couple of egg farmers I know were saying they’d never eat duck eggs as the shells are much more porous and likely to absorb shit from the ground.

I've bought them in the supermarket. Delicious, although I'm not sure I'd know in a blind tasting
