Regarding duck vs. chicken eggs...Wandering Coyote:<br /><br />Regarding duck vs. chicken eggs, there are some confounding factors. Even at this point those duck eggs are fresher than any chicken egg you are likely to buy in a grocery. They were as fresh as 24 hours out of the duck when I gave them to him a couple of weeks ago. <br /><br />Even so, the protein/fat ratio is considerably higher in the duck eggs, which would leadThe Brutal Gourmethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757709920291579862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876663859573125537.post-23763829907238535682009-08-15T12:28:23.132-04:002009-08-15T12:28:23.132-04:00I love me some wicked simple.
