The unpredictable market for chicken eggs due to bird flu has led some to explore alternatives like emu eggs. The author shares a humorous personal experience of purchasing an emu egg, highlighting its impressively large size, roughly equal to a dozen chicken eggs. Although cooking the egg was a quirky adventure, with surprising texture and taste, it ultimately holds nostalgic value. This humorous take invites others to consider exploring less conventional egg options amidst rising chicken egg prices.
Did you know that it takes about an hour and a half to hard-boil an emu egg? The yolk is a chartreuse-tinged chalky white.
A single emu egg has the volume of approximately a dozen chicken eggs; it seemed like just the right absurdist final flourish for an already insane endeavor.
