Chicken or duck eggs?
When you are tucking into your egg and bacon butty are you eating a duck or a chicken egg ?
The reason I ask is, after going to Lucky yesterday I'm pretty sure they are selling duck eggs as chicken eggs. Does it even make a difference? Well duck eggs a cheaper than chicken eggs . Personally I prefer the yokee goodness of a duck egg.
I just thought I'd ask do you know what you're buying and does it even matter?

I prefer duck eggs. Quail eggs are the best if you put 59 in an omlette.

I'm pretty sure duck eggs back in the UK cost more money.
Why do chicken eggs command a higher price?

They don't. Think a chicken egg is 300r in the market and a duck egg 500r. Not sure, I'll have to check with my personal shopper. I have plenty of chicken eggs for free every day.
You get more bang for your buck with duck eggs and the taste is better, but some recipes need different flavour eggs.

duck eggs have always been more expensive by a small fraction
duck eggs are white smooth somewhat translucent , chicken eggs are always opaque often bumpy
fried duck eggs retain that whiteness on frying so the contrast white-yellow is more noticeable than in chicken eggs
fried duck eggs also seem more likely to have a crispy brown fringe
what have you ppl been eating all your life if not eggs?

I always have duck eggs here, mainly because the missus buys them, but I do now prefer them.
The normal chicken eggs here are pretty small so even though the duck eggs are a little more (think we pay 500/400) I think it is worth it. In U.K. it probably twice the price for a duck egg.
OP, I am fairly sure they won’t be swapping them, pretty easy to tell apart.

okay now the debate will change to whether duck eggs are more tastier than chicken eggs. I found out that chicken eggs are cheaper than duck eggs .... maybe I will start eating chicken eggs

The local preference definitely appears to be for duck eggs. I’d never had a duck egg before I came here but there is a slight difference IMO the white is perhaps more silky if that makes sense

Is there some easy way of doing this, like putting 75 of them in a salad spinner or something?pedros wrote:I prefer duck eggs. Quail eggs are the best if you put 59 in an omlette.
