One egg or two?

My oldest son, Kimbo, is an unashamed gourmet. He likes the best of everything, and never misses an opportunity to try new delights. He discovered these Goose eggs at his local Farmer's Market, and couldn't resist.

One egg covered three pieces of toast, and I understand it was delicious.

When I was a student, I would occasionally turn up at my parents home with a friend in tow. My mother would always fry up a few eggs (it was easy and quick). She would ask 'Four eggs or three?". My friends would reply predictably "Oh, just the three thank you!". Pity she didn't have goose eggs; she could have done just one each.

  1. Eggs are the perfect comfort food. Sunday morning wouldn't be Sunday morning without coffee, newspapers and fluffy scrambled eggs...heaven!

  2. I have a faint recollection of goose eggs. My dad loved them. You could use that thing for a frisbee.

  3. Hello:
    We have eaten turkey eggs, equally as large, but have never tried the egg of a goose! But, they do seem a very good way of providing a plateful of food within a very short time.

    Your varied and interesting blog is most appealing and we are now Followers.

  10. I bought my first goose eggs this season in Cornwall - delicious. Geese lay a few eggs this time of year which they ignore, and these are the seasonal treats. the ones they eventually sit on produce the golden geese. A very short season.
