    I've seen them for sale in Harrod's Food Hall, but if you're a bit common then I believe you can get them in some branches of Waitrose ;)

    They're really really strong - as in a fully grown adult male can stand on it without it cracking.

    I remember my dad went through a few saw blades when he cut them for my mum.

    The poor ostrich. It's bum must ache after laying that.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    Why would you want to eat an Ostrich egg ? Surely it would be too much for one person ?

    You can buy them from borough market if you live in London.
    I had an Ostrich burger there, It was lush! :)

    Does it come out of the bum?

    Birds have only one orifice where both eggs and poo and urine exit, called a cloaca.

    So what you're saying is, Ostrich's have massive bums, like the Kardashians? :rotfl:

    Never had an egg, but I did have ostrich steak for dinner last night. You can get two fillet steaks in Tesco for a fiver. Lovely stuff and far cheaper than beef.
