Who here has eaten the most species of egg?

@The Controvert

If what you describe looks like a black hard-boiled egg, then would liken it to salty jello. Not bad.

::shudders::

I don’t think I’ll ever have room for salty-jello-tasting Chinese fermented duck eggs.

@Cervaise

In addition to the usual (several bird, several fish), I’m going to take my red wings into account and say there’s a non-zero chance I have human on the list as well.

I’ve got to ask. Did you suck the out flow of a woman’s vagina for well over a month or just during the menses, or did you do it the conventional way, yakitori human ovary? Inquiring minds on the SDMB want to know.

Chicken
duck
quail
guinea fowl
fish(sturgeon, snoek, mackerel, other nameless ones (whole egg sac))
lobster
sea urchin
ostrich (OK, not a whole one - 1-egg omelette, split 3 ways)
crocodile

You must tell us how crocodile eggs are.

Chicken
Quail
Duck
Salmon
Cod
Pollack
Herring
Shrimp
Crab
Lobster
Cow (well, ovaries. I assume there was an egg in there somewhere)

Seems like lobster is not an uncommon entry in the list - to those of you that mentioned it - in what form did you eat the eggs?

I ask, because the crayfish eggs I ate experimentally were just clustered under the tail of one of the crayfish I caught and cooked. (They tasted like little leathery bubbles of wet nothing).

That’s how I ate my lobster eggs (shrimp and crab, as well). I probably wouldn’t have chosen to eat them by themselves, but there they were so they got et.

Yep -lobster “in berry” as they are known.

@Ellen Cherry

Call me provincial, or something, but where are you all getting goose and duck eggs to eat?

Farmer’s Market.

@Ellen Cherry

MrDibble, where’d you eat a crocodile egg?

Right next to the place I got the ostrich egg - a crocodile farm (I do live in Africa)

@Ellen Cherry

How was it prepared?

Scrambled

@Ellen Cherry

WHY did you eat such a thing?

It was on the menu, it was brunch time and I didn’t feel like crocodile steak.

They tasted pretty much like chicken eggs, only a little richer. Actually, more like duck eggs, come to think of it.

@Dead Badger

…I did poach some fantastic eggs this morning, though. The clingfilm method rules, although it does feel faintly like cheating…

Off topic, sorry, but what is this clingfilm method of which you speak?

[Dead_Badger]

It’s the third method demonstrated by the frankly unlikely culinary experts at b3ta.com. As I say, it feels like cheating, but you can’t argue that they look pretty damn good. Don’t need the eggs to be as fresh, either.

Two words: dipped Pocky.

@garygnu

I think the all-time record is held by one Peter T. Hooper, but I don’t think he’s a member here.

Heh. I was wondering if anyone would make that connection as well.

[Mangetout]

I can eat fifty eggs.

@Mangetout

I can eat fifty eggs.

So can I, if they’re the right kind.
