For $39.95 each, you can buy ostrich eggs at the Houston Street Whole Foods. Locally grown, just across the river in New Jersey. For a sense of scale, check out the duck eggs on the shelf above; they're about the size of chicken eggs.You break, you buy, presumably, so I was fairly tentative around them, but I did heft one, and was impressed by how heavy it was. It felt as though the shell was quite thick -- but then again, I wasn't going to test that.
I'm going to guess that they taste like chicken... eggs.

at the union square greenmarket, they sell those - both full of egg, and blown out empty. they are ferociously expensive and every time i see them, i wonder who buys them.
