These tiny birds are farmed for both their meat and their eggs which are regarded as a delicacy in most countries. But if you find yourself in Asia, quail eggs are available from most street markets as a quick snack. Quail eggs, although small, are packed with good cholesterol and a higher percentage of protein than their chicken counterparts.<\/p>\n The eggs can be bought fresh or pickled, but if cooking, remember to cook thoroughly. Here is an idea for your next dinner party \u2013 a decadent starter of fried quail eggs with truffle salt on toast.<\/p>\n Try these recipes for Quail Scotch Eggs<\/a><\/strong> and Duck Heart Tartare with Quail Egg<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Rich, orange yolks and a delicious egg-y flavour \u2013 these are the things that we associate with a duck egg. Everything you can do with a chicken egg, you can do with those from their quacking cousins.<\/p>\n The pale (sometimes blue-ish white) shells are quite thick and durable, keeping duck eggs fresher for longer. They will make cakes and pastries fluffier and richer, due to a higher albumen ratio. They also contain good cholesterol, so rather have one of these for breakfast. Eggs Benedict will never be the same again!<\/p>\n Try this recipe for Slow Cooked Duck Egg with Prosciutto<\/strong><\/a> and\u00a0Duck Egg Crispy Bacon and Rocket Sandwich<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Ever needed to make scrambled eggs for twelve people? It\u2019s easy \u2013 with a hammer, a huge pan and an ostrich egg. These enormous eggs contain the equivalent of two dozen chicken eggs and can take up to 2 hours to hard-boil. Ostrich eggs have many predators in the wild, hence their super durable shells (and feisty parents), so if you\u2019d like to get to the edible contents, you might need more than a couple of whacks on the kitchen counter.<\/p>\n Ostrich eggs are lighter, fluffier and milder in flavour than chicken eggs, and perfect if you are cooking for the whole, extended family.<\/p>\n Say whaaat?
