What is the weirdest type of egg that people eat?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Different type of preserved eggs like century eggs, beetroot pickled eggs and salted duck eggs or herbal eggs (also known as tea leave eggs), 'fetus' eggs, chicken / duck / quail / ostrich / turtle eggs and fish roe are not considered weird anymore.
Snail caviar is not weird but more uncommon, I guess because of the price.
Crocodile, goose, guinea fowl and gull eggs are not commonly found too but really depending on where you are.

As a chef I had pigeon, turkey, duck, in the north of Canada I got a few ptarmigan, I have cooked with emu, ostrich eggs, turtle and crocodile/alligator eggs are not edible as they develop so quickly.

Plover eggs in Europe are popular, Quail/Alouette in France are nice, goose eggs like duck are richer and more fattening, I saw Balut/Fetal duck and chicken eggs in Singapore and when I visited Vietnam when I worked in Asia, Swallow eggs from the nests they harvest the Birds Nest soup product from are rare in Asia, I have seen canned boiled quail eggs in the Asian stores here in Canada.

Apparently she never checked or she would know that the duck egg is buried only for weeks or at most months.
Balut is an asian dish of a fertilized chicken or duck egg with the embryo allowed to develop for about 17 days, then boiled. That is pretty odd.
My mom used to have emus and she cooked us a huge omelet with an egg-it tasted fine.
People historically have harvested and eaten sea turtle eggs-it's one reason they're endangered.

People eat all kinds of eggs. Balut is a duck egg fetus. Ostrich eggs make one giant omelet. Century eggs are preserved and can be made in a few months or less. Sea turtle eggs are considered an illegal delicacy.

Preserved duck egg is seen to be a delicacy in China. The eggs are preserved in a mixture of clay, ash, salt, lime and rice hulls from several weeks to several months.

A lot of Filipinos eat Balut.

It's a duck or chicken egg that has been fertilized and has a nearly developed embryo in it. It's boiled and eaten in the shell.

The Cambodian people and some other Asian races eat this type of egg where the chick has been kind of formed in the egg, and they eat it anyway. I think it's called Balut.

We love quail eggs, if we can find them. I used to make tiny fried quail eggs for the kids and they loved the novelty. Also, they are just great for parties wit a good dip.

1 thousand year old eggs (or so) chinese bury eggs for hundreds of years and they are considered a delicacy last I checked, pretty weird.

Balut!

They just drink the egg raw out of he shell. Yuk! It's supposed to be good for your voice.
