Can you eat goose eggs?

[fatboy]

Oh heck ya!! we used to collect em in the spring from the canadian honkers when we were camping. cook em like any other egg just way bigger. 1 goose egg is about 2 or 3 regular eggs. my mom used to use them in her bread also, made it a rich yellow color but still ate good.

Ooooh, those are yummy. Those and duck eggs, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! That's omelette heaven.

[Gunload Master]

I always learn something new on here lol

[Gliden07]

Theres a Gentlemen in my neck of the woods that sells both Duck and Goose eggs!!

[runfiverun]

they have a richer flavor than chicken eggs.
the geese are a little more tenacious about you getting them than a chicken is though.

[nhrifle]

Yeah but geese have that long neck sticking out there. If yer quick you can grab it and the goose is, as they say, cooked

You'd be surprised at what you can eat. However you can eat goose eggs and enjoy doing it,which you my not be able to do with many other things that your still able to eat. Dennis

My grandpa lived through the depression and its kind of comical what hed eat. He lived on the St. Marys river a body of water that connects lake superior with lake huron. I can remember going fishing with him and hed stop at small island that the seaguls nested on and pick eggs and bring them home. Never thought much of it till later in life and asked my ma and she said that if you ate eggs at his house you probably at one time or another ate seagul eggs. She said when she was young she allways avoided eating eggs that looked a bit small but grandma even used them in baking so it was unavoidable. Guess Im still alive so they must be edible.

Far as I know an egg is an egg is an egg. My fear would be cracking one open to discover an embryo. Yuck!

My Grandparents use to get goose eggs, every once in a while one would have a double yoke. I worked with a guy once that raised turkeys and he would bring in and sell turkey eggs one of them would fill up a small skillet. Good though! I saw some guys in Africa roast a Ostrich egg they rolled that thing around in a pile of coals for quite a while finally broke it open and feed a whole bunch of people.

Probably the reason chickens are called chicken.:bigsmyl2::bigsmyl2:

I still remember this from my survival training in the Navy; "Eggs may be eaten at any point of embryo development".

[farmerjim]

At their later stages they may be a bit too crunchy for me.

[Jeffrey]

We have free range chickens. A chicken on the nest WILL object to eggs being taken. Crunchy later stages - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balut_(egg) NOT my preference. J

Pickled goose eggs the last two years here, several pair started roosting at our pond four or five yrs ago, and the population has grown to such a level that we started grabbing a few eggs from them, goes well with pickled quail eggs for sure!!

[Junior1942]

My momma made cakes with goose eggs.

I've heard of that. Don't want to try it though. Yuck!

Any body who ever raised chickens has come across an egg with blood spots in it some we fried some we cast out. Alot of the time it depended on how the chickens were laying and how many folks were eatin' Dennis.

[dragonrider]

My daughter raises chickens and a couple turkeys so I get turkey eggs frequently, very good.

[Hardcast416taylor]

Just as long as you are referring to eggs that were lain by a bird and not the type left on your head by a frying pan wielding wife that is angry!Robert

When I lived in South Louisiana I often ate turtle eggs and seagull eggs.

[dale2242]

When our children were young, I raised game birds.
They loved taking those tiny hard boiled quail eggs in their school lunches.
I`ve eaten about every egg, wild and domestic.
They are all good. An egg is an egg. .....dale

Eggs is eggs, is eggs. You can candle them to determine whether fertile or not. I used a light bulb under a small can (tomato sauce) or a regular can (15 oz. tomato), both ends cut out. I would do this to determine fertile eggs I could incubate for my science classes. This was before all the idiotic testing. You see red spot--fertile, none, infertile. I've cooked many a fertile chicken egg with a red spot on it. Never noticed any difference in taste (chicken). Ostrich, Emu, Goose, Duck, Chicken, all edible, just some difference in taste. If you got wild birds, I'm sure it would be different because of diet.

[jroc]

Heck no you can't eat em they are highly toxic. Send em my way and I'll dispose of em fer ya. lol

[jroc]

Dennis the ones with blood spots we always used for scramblers!

[oldscool]

They are only good if you goose them first:p
