    chicken, duck, goose and quail eggs ... they all taste the
    same

    True enough.

    Actually wild goose eggs taste very different from anything else. We
    have six kinds of geese here including snow geese, speckle belly and
    the better known Canada goose. The Inuit north of here collect wild
    bird eggs every year in late spring, early summer. When Roslind was
    in Cambridge Bay in early 2020 before Covid shut down travel, a
    friend there gave her 9 eggs, 3 of each kind, that had been
    collected in 2019 and frozen.

    They had huge, very firm, deep yellow or orange yolks and very
    little white. The yolks were very fatty and strong tasting and so
    thick they couldn't be stirred with a fork to make scrambled eggs
    without adding water or milk. Once I ended up using a potato masher
    to break up raw yolks prior to making an omelette. Because of the
    ratio of yolk to white the resulting scrambled eggs and omelettes
    had a very different colour, taste and texture.

    They also collect duck, swan, murre and puffin eggs but I have never
    sampled any of those.




    Cheers

    I would have never thought of a good egg.

    Very interesting.

    Duck I've had both fresh and the preserved "Century Egg" versions of.
    Other then being a bit bigger they taste pretty darn close to a chicken
    egg to me.

    ... If it tastes good, spit it out. It's bad for you.
