The goose eggs are significantly bigger than a hen's egg; 175g to 60g. The shells are very thick too - I scored around with a serrated knife before cracking. Out of interest, I weighed the shells; 20g to 5g.
The goose egg yolk is very large in relation to the white, giving an even yellower colour to the whisked eggs.
We've never eaten goose eggs before, so put one of them into a quiche, with asparagus and leeks from the Yorkshire garden, and supplemented with a couple of our hen's eggs. I wondered if they might taste a bit "gamey" but couldn't taste and difference. Delicious!
