Duck Eggs......

[rox4jc]

Anybody here know the carb count for duck eggs? They are a bit larger than an extra large chicken egg. I figure maybe 1 carb per egg?

No idea I'm afraid. I cant eat them, they are far to rich for me now and give me a cronic stomach ache when ever I try them.

Hopefully you will be ok.

This is what you get from USDA - you can select the food at this link: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/
(and get the skinny on eggs prepared different ways, so you can make an educated guess on the difference in values for your duck egg cooked . The answer is 1.01 for a 70g egg.
Egg, duck, whole, fresh, raw

Awww, but ducks are so cute! They are one of the few birds I don't like eating because I just find them so adoreable. Chickens are mean, I don't have any problem gobbling them up

I won't tell you about balut then.

E_E_E_E_E_E_W_W_W_W_W_W!!!!!!

I am S_O_O_O_O_O_O glad Atkins isn't Vietnamese! But I guess even Balut qualifies as zero carb; but how could you figure the rest of the value counts? Part duckling, whole, cordon bleu...

[rox4jc]

HA-HA-HA! I'll be sure to candle those eggs before I boil them! I really hate surprises, don't you?

[big_bad_john]

Huh? do you mean duck eggs or duck, eggs?

OMG look out duck eggs, quick duck, eggs!

ysee what I mean??? Huh? waddaya mean take my medication and calm down?

LOL!

I actually found this quote funny...

"If they came and offered me the $50,000 right now to just eat one more, there is no way I would do it again," said one contestant after downing two of these suckers. "There is no way."

Just two? I can down four easily.

Geez, now I'm getting hungry and the balut vendor won't be passing by for around five more hours.

I was going to come in here and give my recipe for curry duck eggs but now Robbie has my recipes looking pretty boring that is for sure...
