I only buy eggs from the farmer’s market – and have my favourites. There is NO – absolutely NO comparison. I just bought some guinea fowl eggs from GE and H to try. Love trying them all. Duck eggs make excellent zabaglione. They don’t break down like the others… Great post!

Matt – glad you gave it a go!

I went to Careit this morning to buy duck eggs. Really great, I think the best way to describe it is that the egg as a whole carries more weight, the yolk is more rich and white seems more subsistent in some manner. They seem to fill you a bit more, like your body somehow knows that what you are eating carries more nutrition even thought in form it seems like a regular egg only a bit larger.

The city of Edmonton is seriously considering making back yard chickens legal – keep an eye out for the news (or, if you have nice neighbours who like eggs, you could always practice civil disobedience … you’d not be the only one!).

I haven’t eaten a store bought egg since we got hens – and you are absolutely right, nothing matches real eggs. :)
