feemcg Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Wee Mima is only 20 weeks old today.......and laid her 1st egg - it's huge too for such a wee duck. I've never tasted a duck egg before, so a bit unsure how to cook it to appreciate the flavour - any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Oooh, how exciting - I'd fry it personally, that's what I've done with all our girls "first" eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 That's exciting . How huge is huge? Have you weighed it? Don't know anything about cooking them, sorry . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 I don't have scales, must get some as some of the chooks are laying some 'whoppers' just now too. When I'm (rarely ) baking I weigh out an ounce as a heaped tablespoon (I'm sure that's what my home ec teacher told me ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 To update, it was a double-yoker and I had it fried with black pudding and mushrooms - yummy - didn't think there was any great difference in taste from a chook egg (and she's laid another the same size today!).
