However, it’s easier to find out how to break it:
Clearly it’s far more complicated than the usual “one two three CRACK new egg” routine I’ve used for eggs.
And now I’m curious about what this scene from Sabrina would have been like if it took place in South Africa. Probably a longer, more drawn out death for that egg.
That said, as for the ostrich egg itself, I’ll just file cooking with it under “awesome, but impractical.”
I’m pretty sure it includes just the edible portion.
Yeah, the mechanics of prep and cooking one of these monsters aside, I’d agree about it being impractical. The average cost of a single ostrich egg seems to be around $70 (US). Until the price of chicken eggs rises to $35/dozen, I’ll stick with those.
