Not to sure on that, I suspect it depends on where you insert them. :>)

I often get duck eggs when trout fishing , frequently roll into the river out of nests. If they sink they're fine but leave the floaters alone.
Very rich ,make wicked sponge cakes .
Dougie, they are richer than chook eggs...if you have a few PUREBRED Khaki Campbells they will supply you with more than enough eggs and duck meat...
Am I the only one with a hankering for duck eggs about now? *looks at lunchbox only to see vegemite sandwiches*
To be fair I quite like the NZ Marmite, I can't say the same for the SA'n version for some reason though. Vegemite is a suitable substitute when Marmite isn't available - as was the case recently. This jar is almost finished... the vitamin B is coursing through my veins as I type this...
You can't beat duck eggs on toast spread with vegemite then a squirt of watties

The yolks are brighter Dougie and the eggs are ritcher in flavour,they make a good sponge cake too.
Possom trapper has 7 ducks....make him an offer;)
Urrrrgh, this obsession with tomato sauce on everything :yuush: :P
I'm hungry for eggs hard out now!!!!!
There is a very popular street food in the philippines called Balut which is my personal favourite way to eat a duck egg, although not for the feint hearted!
The eggs are fertilized and allow to grow for up to a few weeks before being boiled.
Just...don't look at it and it's f*cking delicious!
As for more western uses, hollandaise made with duck yolks is definitely the best version i have ever tasted.
Theres 8 ducks here Dougie,one was AWOL down at the creek for two months but promptly came home when duck shooting started.:D
