Could you eat Turkey Eggs?

[Taverner]

I mean, would they be good?

I've had duck eggs, ostrich eggs, lizard eggs and quail eggs. But never turkey eggs.

1. You bastard

Life begins at egg.

2. Ahh yes having worked for a turkey farmer, let me say I have no sympathy for that species

Any species too stupid not to look up and drown when its raining (yes, they really do this) deserves a place on my plate, not my heart

3. The domesticated variety was bred for size and stupid

Wild ones are way different. Ben Franklin wanted to make the wild turkey the national bird instead of the eagle.

4. Hmmm interesting

Yes, I've never spent much time with wild turkeys (other than the whiskey)

But the domesticated ones really are as stupid as you think

Let me put this way, if a wolf or fox comes in and starts eating one, the others watch, not run.

6. You worked for a turkey farmer

But you cant answer your own question? I would think that that would be your expert to ask.

8. But I have never seen a Turkey egg - honest!

They just don't show up that often at Thanksgiving Turkey farms!

5. You Betcha!!

9. They are good!

That's all I have to say about that...

10. You've "had duck eggs, ostrich eggs, lizard eggs and quail eggs" ...

... I've heard chicken eggs are also recommended for eating.

11. True fact: in the first years of the gold rush, there were almost no laying hens to be found near

San Francisco, and thus no eggs, either.

A booming business developed going out to the Farallones, getting seabird eggs, and selling them in the city. It was sufficiently profitable that rival companies fought over control of one island, and two people died. Several species of rare seabirds were nearly wiped out.

This has been your completely random Northern California history lesson of the day.
