Price doesn't matter
when the product is so gross
and I want to hurl.

Debbie said...

I don't do blue eggs

Keetha said...

I've never seen an emu egg. They're gorgeous! I'd buy one just to have it to look at.

Reena said...

Yowza ... now that's a big egg! Looks like it could serve 10!

Nurse Nancy said...

Cool color to the egg but no interest in eating one.

Daryl said...

Umm .. scrambled or fried ...

Trisha said...

Wow! Those are some pricy eggs! In addition I was thinking that some poor worker had to put a price tag on each of those eggs. What a job!

Magpie said...

i see them at the greenmarket - and i never see anyone buying them. they're cool looking, but...omelet for 12, anyone?

Sally said...

Not me sister, no no no.

Driftwood and Pumpkin said...

Um, that is a lot of dollar per ounce of protein!

abb said...

Aren't they gorgeous?
(I am haiku challenged today.)

Grandmother Mary said...

They are pretty, but even if they serve 10, that's a lot of money!

LL Cool Joe said...

30 bucks?? I'd rather buy a cap with that money.:D

Country Girl said...

I think the shells are collectors pieces, highly sought after. Or so I've heard.

Chesapeake Bay Woman said...

Oh good heavens. Not around these parts they don't. However, we do ship the common creek eel off to other countries who consider it a delicacy, so go figure.

Tammy said...

:O Yowza!

Eat? No way. I'd use them for decorating. I wonder how long an emu egg can sit on a shelf before it starts smelling bad.

Unknown said...

Like Ellen...I love the color, but...ummmmm, yuck?

Ewww... Empty, they'd be beautiful on display.
