The other evening my sons and I feasted on a dinner featuring a farm-raised chicken from one of son's friend's farm and eggs given to me by one of my clients. Notice that in the egg carton their are larger eggs next to the brown chicken eggs. Those are ducks eggs....I have not had the nerve to try them yet...though soon! Farm fresh eggs from free-range birds really are different and better. The most noticeable difference is the shells are thicker and the yolks are a bright yellow. I used the eggs to make hollandaise for some Spring asparagus.
Thank you Grimm and Jen!
Eat the goose eggs fried or make a one egg (because they're big) omelet.
Duck and goose eggs are significantly richer and some of the tastiest you'll ever have. You'll find yourself wondering why people aren't eating them instead of chickens.
Well, other than the fact that they're worse for you.

Jen,
I have not tried them yet. This week I will take the plunge and try my first goose egg!
