Chicken eggs are irreplaceable ingredient of food for majority of people on our planet. Eggs of blackbird, fulmar, cormorant, guillemot, seagull, penguin, squatarole, puffin, pen, ouzel & other birds are also used in some countries. In some parts of the world, any nest, which is accessible, is a potential source of food. Several stories exist about how tasty are the eggs of wild birds. But in countries, which do not suffer from food scarcity, presently it is banned to collect eggs of wild birds with several exceptions.
Besides, only bird eggs are eaten. Eggs of turtles are considered as a delicacy on many islands of Pacific Ocean & in the warm countries of Atlantic Ocean. Turtle eggs are not only considered aphrodisiac but also highly appreciated in eastern kitchens. Round, white, with soft shell, similar to table tennis balls, the turtle eggs are tasty if baked over fire with bamboo leaves. Occasionally, local residents afford this treat, though they never take more than few eggs from nest in a single go. Poachers, to be true, are not so decent & specially trace when the turtle lays up to 200 eggs in sand, so as to take away all of them. Turtles are also protected by international laws against poaching.
Fish eggs are also highly estimated. Sturgeon eggs or black caviar are most well-known & expensive. These small brilliant eggs value entire wealth. Red salmon eggs & red caviar are less expensive but are hugely popular thanks to their attractive color. |
