scarfing me out of house and Cheerios....
LOL that is so funny!
Yep, $12 a dozen is absolutely ridiculous for duck eggs, lol. I could hardly believe my dd and her friend sold them for that. I dont think that I could have kept a straight face while I asked someone for that much money for eggs. But, the buyers were rich yuppies in silicon valley who use the eggs for baking and pasta making and I guess they were willing to pay. Some of the buyers were Asians who said that they were accustomed to eating fresh duck eggs where they came from but couldnt find any locally so they were happy to buy ours.
I checked at the farmers market last spring and duck eggs there sold for $6.00 a dozen, still a good price. Balut eggs were being sold for $12.00 a dozen. For those who dont know what Balut is.... it is a duck egg that is incubated for 17 days and then boiled. They only use eggs from white ducks for Balut. Yuk!
My dad has a neighbor who is a retired pastry chef who is always happy when he brings her a dozen duck eggs to bake with. She says they are the best for baking.
I love duck eggs.
