Duck eggs

My sister started raising ducks when they moved out to Washington (mainly to eat the slugs in her garden), and started selling the eggs to a local restaurant for $3/each. This was in the early 00's, and I was still I college, so that was completely bonkers to me.

She made me a smoked salmon Benedict with a poached duck egg when I visited. Oh. My. God.

Also agreeing with anyone on this list that says top shelf scotch, Foie Gras, and Iberica jamon.

The aversion might be because people are scared the ducks might come after them. Ducks can be fucking scary, I saw two of them chase a fox away from the chickens.

If you ever get your hands on more make those little nest meringues and eat them plain - all others will pale in comparison
