4122.0. "Goose Egg Experiences?" by DONVAN::HARRIS () Wed Mar 26 1997 11:14

    A couple down the street sells fresh goose eggs.  I picked some up so
    that we could blow out the insides, and my kids could paint the shells.
    
    Has anyone cooked with goose eggs before?  My understanding is that,
    for baking, they are equivalent to three chicken eggs.  I've also heard
    that the flavor is stronger.
    
    I'm curious how something, like a quiche or scrambled eggs, would work
    out using these.  Any experiences?

4122.1Like Chicken Eggs but StrongerSALES::IRWed Mar 26 1997 12:326
    When I was a kid, we has chickens and geese so we had a supply of
    both sorts of eggs.  My grandmother frequently made omelettes with
    goose eggs, and they tasted fine.  Maybe a little stronger in flavor
    than the chicken eggs.  I guess you might be able to get the same
    lower-intensity flavor by adding more water or egg (whichever you
    prefer) to the mix.
4122.2scrambled?FIEVEL::FILGATEBruce Filgate SHR3-2/W4 237-6452Tue Apr 01 1997 16:029
 As a kid, my mother used to scramble either chicken eggs or goose eggs,
 depending what was available.  At the table, I could never tell which
 was being served, they looked and tasted the same to me.

 Turkey eggs I found had a somewhat different taste, but scrambled they
 look the same as well.

4122.3Goose eggs are fine...WRKSYS::jleeds.eng.pko.dec.com::JLEEDSMon May 19 1997 17:1311
I have used goose eggs in cooking, as well as duck eggs. They are fine. They will bind the mixture 
alot better than chicken eggs. 

For eating, as in fried eggs etc, goose eggs are somewhat stronger tasting, but this is more of a
perception, than reality. They are so big, and the color is much brighter, that they look like 
they are different tasting.

I know we use to give them to our Church around Easter time, and they loved them.
