I have always wanted to taste duck eggs since reading Swallowdale, but they are not your common Aldi fare. Anyway I found a Chinese shop that sells them for 1 USD per egg, about 3 times the price of a chicken egg. It shows the modern inhumanity to the chicken not the duck.
They are about 50% bigger and they are a bit smoother, but not quite up to Roger's description.
In the mornings, my daughter likes scrambled eggs, not buttered eggs. The conversation goes something like this:
Duck or chicken?
Chicken
White or brown?
Brown
Mushrooms?
No
Olive oil or butter?
Olive oil
The American rubbish or the Italian smooth
American
"Not much oil Dad"
ok,
Tabasco sauce?
Of course
End of story.
