This is a link post Since it seems to be giant egg day....
I will be making my way to Waitrose for half a dozen of these, and then I will make a giant omlette with lots of cheese.

This is a normal post That would be ideal if I was baking for a party
but I prefer the 'pre-measured' hen eggs. Recipes don't usually call for 1/14th of an ostrich egg.

This is a normal post You could try
measuring the volume of a single bog-standard supermarket chicken egg, and then the volume of the ostrich egg, and then you'd have a multiplier for all of the measurements in your recipe! Then again, you could always buy lots of normal eggs.

This is a normal post 1/24th
Weighing in at nearly 2kg, an ostrich egg is roughly equivalent to 24 large hens eggs and can take up to two hours to hard boil.

Home-made scotch egg, using an ostrich egg. Om to the muthafuckin' NOM.


EDIT: gah, it won't let me edit the subject line. I wasn't saying someone posted your link before, just the one about the scotch egg.
