Re: Eggs - Goose Egg's vs Chicken vs Duck etc.

[Guest guest]

It looks like mostly it's just 5 times bigger. Can you eat that much egg at a

time? We've had turkey eggs before and I couldn't tell the difference except

they had a tougher membrane inside that made them harder to crack nicely. The

duck eggs have a definate flavor difference, and different consistancy - the

white is like snot - very stringy when raw and rubbery when cooked. I'd

imagine goose eggs would be more like the duck eggs, and you wouldn't get many -

most geese only lay maybe 3 clutches a year - that's around 3 dozen eggs if

you're lucky.

LOL! Well they're not as disgusting as I evidently made them sound, but

compared to chicken eggs they do have some less agreeable characteristics, imho.

Not to mention that when we crack duck eggs we almost always get some small bits

of shell in, the edges just seem to WANT to go into your batter!

Did you notice that a goose egg is the size of 3 chicken eggs? But, even when

you compare an equal amount, goose eggs really do have way more nutrients.

A better way to compare eggs, would be using -

http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/ . Just pick 100 grams for each

one, so it comes out even.

I find goose eggs to be a little sweeter and yolk creamier. The goose

white carmelizes easier. Duck yolks are creamier as well and the whites

thicker as noted. However, the duck eggs I get taste nearly identical to

chicken eggs, so the variety of duck or the duck's feed must be the issue

there.

FYI geese eggs are 3 bucks a half dozen, when I can get them at the farm.

Duck eggs are 2.50 a dozen.
