Just behind the apartment is a neighborhood center and in the neighborhood center is a farmers market. Of all the booths in the market, the most interesting is the egg stand. It has all types and sizes of eggs - fresh and preserved.
We bought some big eggs. Maybe duck eggs or goose eggs. I'm really not sure. But they were big - probably triple (or more) the volume of a normal chicken egg. The photo above shows the comparison. The brown ones are, of course, the normal chicken eggs.
The shells of the big eggs are thick. Much thicker than a normal egg and with a more rubbery membrane on the inside. There's probably a trick to cracking them open but since no one showed me that trick opening them was a bit messy. The yolks are a bit more viscous than a normal egg. But they whip nicely with the whites for making an omelet.
One egg. One omelet.
