Ostrich Eggs



Last night in the produce section at Whole Foods I found ostrich eggs. These suckers are huge, and heavy. They were displayed next to duck eggs the size of chicken eggs and spotted quail eggs the size of foil-wrapped chocolate eggs available around Easter. I wonder how you crack an ostrich egg. Like a coconut? The shell is incredibly thick. Plus, the ostrich egg is about the size of a grapefruit, which would make it hard to smack and crack on a bowl. Each egg serves eight to 10 people and costs $39.99.
Ostrich egg fritatta, anyone?
