I did not know you could eat duck eggs. The thought had never even crossed my mind. Tim hates chickens (don't ask), so in 2010 we started buying fresh eggs from my sister's best friend Camden. Camden brought us a rainbow of eggs every week. We loved them. However there were always a few extra large eggs with a slightly pointer shape that were exceptionally tasty.
They were our favorite eggs and we ate them first. Tim like them so much that he reluctantly admitted that he might be amenable to a few chickens if we could get the breed that made those eggs. I asked Camden. She avoided answering. She conveniently kept forgetting to ask her mom. Finally, after weeks, she confessed. They were duck eggs. People used to commonly eat both duck and chicken eggs. There are even laying duck breeds that lay more eggs in a year than most chickens! Chickens are easier to keep in batteries for egg production and the flavor of the egg is less strongly influence by the quality of their feed, hence with the advent of grocery stores as the primary source of eggs, chicken eggs ruled the roost. |
