Ostrich Eggs are to appear in Waitrose in the run up to Easter, according to some national newspapers.
The eggs are the equivalent to 24 Chicken eggs and can feed 15 people a good sized omlette. The egg takes an hour and a half to cook properly.
If you fancy breaking into your wallet, an Ostrich egg will set you back £18.99.
Demand in foods such as Pheasant, Quail, Duck and Goose eggs has increased by 101%. British cooks are now more adventurous in the kitchen than the French, as our tastes and cooking habits change.
For a long time British cuisine has been seen as boring and stodgy. British people are now more interested in cooking not only interesting foods but also healthy foods to ensure that they get better nutrition.
All I can say on the matter is as long as the egg layers are kept in humane conditions and are treated fairly, why not treat yourself to an Ostrich egg?!
