Goose Eggs

I remember trying when we were children and the shell is *very* thick! I think you'd need to drill it really, or at least try a drill bit to pierce the shell.

Good luck though!

i've been given a goose egg and want to bake a cake with it. Any suggestion on what cake, and is 1 goose egg equivalent to about 3 chicken eggs?? it's a really big egg! Thank you.

I'd weigh it and weigh a chicken egg and work it out from there.

You lucky thing to have a goose egg! Never tried one, but I loooooove duck eggs

A quick bit of internet research shows quite a range of equivalents, ranging from 2½ medium through 3 large and 4 medium to 4 large chicken eggs.

As above, weigh it and a chicken egg and do some sums.

Personally, I'd do something very simple with it (boil or poach, maybe not fry), so I could appreciate it's taste compared to a chicken or duck egg.

I've never been lucky enough to find a goose egg. I tried to get one for my lady friend last Easter without success. They simply don't lay as many eggs as chickens or ducks.

For information, turkey eggs are even more impossible to find as almost all are used to breed birds for Christmas, and also they're apparently relatively small at 1½ large chicken eggs.

Hi...
If you ever see old recipes for victoria sponge cake, they were made by weighing the eggs you were going to use ..
ie. 3 eggs
then whatever they weigh you use the same butter, sugar and flour

so maybe 6 oz of egg

so 6oz flour, sugar and butter....
