Ostrich Eggs

Honestly, I love Waitrose. I can’t imagine where else you could trot down an aisle and find this:


I didn’t buy it as I wouldn’t really know what to do with something approximately the equivalent of 25 large hen’s eggs but I did read the cooking instructions on the box.

For a soft boiled ostrich egg you need to cook it for around 50 minutes, an hour and a half for a hard egg. God knows what you’d cook it in though as it wouldn’t even fit in my largest pan. Or you can scramble the thing and feed an army.

On another note this evening I came out with what is possibly the most middle-class sentence ever:
“Oh no! I bought battery-farmed quail!” (Which is another story for another time...)
